3.      cover for — 代理職務

2. 「上、下班」

想必對上班族來說,最喜歡的字大概就是下班(go off work),所以快用法把用力記起來吧!
1. 上班:go to work
2. 下班:get off work/knock off work


I’ll call you as soon as I get off work. (我下班打給你)


He can’t get off work on time today. (他今天沒辦法準時下班)

[小提醒]

雖然說下班了就是離開工作崗位,所以可能會有人想到leave,但是leave work/a job 通常是指永久離開一個職位的意思,所以要小心使用,不要會錯意囉!

[其他說法]

leave the office

I’m still at work. I’ll call you as soon as I leave the office.
我還在上班,一下班就打電話給你。

to call it a day 今天就到此為止吧

常見的說法是「Let’s call it a day.」

Let ‘ s call it a day . we ‘ ve done enough today
今天到此為止。我們今天做得夠多了。

B: Sorry, I have to work overtime.

A: 你想不想和我一起吃晚餐呢?

B: 抱歉,我必須加班。

[小補充] 加班費:overtime (pay)

有趣說法:  Living in the Office、work-life balance

Dave: Working late again?
Joseph: Yeah. I feel like I live at the office.
Dave: You should go home on time.
Joseph: It’s not that easy.
Dave: You need a better work-life balance. (工作和生活之間的平衡)
Joseph: I know. I have no time for my personal life anymore.

4. 「出差」

go on / be on / take a business trip to地點

Naomi will take a business trip to New York next month.
=Naomi will go to New York on a business next month.

Naomi下個月去紐約出差。

5. 「輪班」

輪班的英文是 shift,所以 work (in) shifts 指的就是「輪班工作、值班」。

如果想表達自己的工作室輪班性質的話,可以這麼說:

 I work (in) shifts.

Example:

I work the morning shift.

我值早班。

 

如果是想請人代班,則可以用:

7. 升遷

Example:

[小補充] 相關片語

Fast track原來是指快速車道,引申為企業裡快速升遷管道,是相當口語的說法。

2.      Climb / move up the corporate ladder:一步步地升遷向上爬。

climb是攀爬,企業職位就像階梯一樣,是一種很傳神的說法,相似的說法還有corporate ladder。
