1. One day, a boss arrived early at work and found his assistant kissing his secretary
某天,有个老板一早到了公司。看到他的助理正在亲吻他的秘书。
"at work" 通常是指“正在工作中”,但也可以表示“在工作场所”。"find" 除了有“找到”的意思,也可以指“(无意中)发现”,若表示“(经调查、研究)发现的结果”,则通常用"find out"。
2. He yelled, "Is this what I pay you for?"
他大喊:“这是我付钱给你的目的吗?”
3. The assistant answered, "No, sir, this I do free of charge."
这个助理回答:“不是的,老板,我做这个是不收钱的。”
"free"若用于表示“免除...的”,需要free后面加of,再加名词,如:free of interest=interest-free(免息)。
interest [ˈɪntrəst]n.利息
