情景对话
A: You've been working overtime lately, and bringing work home.
B: Yes, I'm really busy with work these days.
A: Are there any problems at your work?
B: No, I'm just putting in these extra efforts for the work review this month.
A: What's there to worry about? Aren't you always one of the apple of your boss' eye?
B: It's different this time. We got a new boss last month. I don't know how he's going to assess us or how he is going to decide on the salary increase(加薪).
A: Well, but you should learn how to relax yourself and enjoy life.
B: Thanks, but I prefer to work. It makes me feel a sense of achievement(成就感).
A:近怎么老是在加班，而且还把工作带回家做。
B:是的。近实在太忙了。
A:你工作上是不是出了什么问题了?
B:没有，我只是为了这个月的工作考核而努力。
A:这有啥好担心的，你一直不都是你们老板眼中的红人吗?
B:这次不一样，上个月来了一个新老板，我不知道他会如何打考核成绩，如何决定今年的加薪幅度。
A:但你应该学会放松自己和享受生活。
B:谢谢，但是我更喜欢工作。它让我感觉有成就感。
