 工作虽然要兢兢业业,但也要劳逸结合,因为一个人所负荷的工作量是有限的,所以不管工作再多,也要适可而止。那么你知道工作结束的时候所说的“到此为止”或“收工”该怎么说吗?


Call it a day 最初是指一天中有一定的工作限量,当这些工作做完的时候,你就应该“call it a day”,表示一天的工作已经完成。不过,还有一种说法源于“上帝创世纪”,从第一天到第六天每天都有一定的工作要做,最后一天工作结束,称为“安息日”。而每一天的工作完成后也要“call it a day”。
现在,这个词的用法比较广泛,不仅是在收工的时候,而且有时一个事件或者项目的终结也可以用“call it a day”来表示。比如:You've been working on that history report 1 since 2 before breakfast. Why don't you call it a day?(你从早餐之前就开始做这份历史报告,不如就到此为止吧。)

1 report
n.报告,汇报;传说,传阅;v.报告,报到
  • We're going to listen to a report this afternoon.今天下午我们要去听报告。
  • I shall report to you.我将向你汇报。
2 since
adv.后来;conj.既然,因为,自从;prep.自从
  • He's been working in a bank since leaving school.自从毕业后,他就一直在一家银行工作。
  • I have known him ever since I was a child.我自孩提时代起就已经认识他了。
