This episode is called "The Commute 1 Home and Running Errands." 这一部分叫做“开车回家和跑腿”。
Commute, you know, means driving back and forth 2 from your house to your work. 通勤，是开车从家中往返工作地点意思。
To run an errand, "errand," means to do something, usually something outside of your house. 跑腿（errand），意思是去做某事，通常是你家外面的事情。
For example, going to the grocery store, going to the drug store, stopping by the post office to mail a letter, 例如，去杂货店，去药店，去邮局寄信，
these are things that you have to do that are not part of your work but that you need to do in your daily life. 这些都是你必须要做的事情，虽然不是你工作的一部分，但却是你日常生活中需要去做的。
And, we call these things errands, and the verb is to run an errand. 我们称这些事情为差事，动词就是跑腿。
Our story says, "It's five o'clock and it's quitting time." 我们的故事说，“现在是下午5点，该下班了”。
Quitting time is the time that you stop working. “Quitting time”是你停止工作的时间。
To quit, "quit," means to stop, so quitting time is the time that you stop working at the end of the day. “Quit”是“停止”的意思，因此“quitting time”就是一天下来，你停止工作的时间。
"I put a few files into my bag," I "grab my mug," — my coffee mug — and I "say goodnight to the rest of the people in my area." “我把一些文件装入包中，拿上马克杯——我的咖啡杯——向我部门里剩下的人道了晚安。”
