美国校园口语 44 ：上班迟到了

A: Morning, Joe. You're late, aren't you?
B: Sure I'm late. Bob walked off with my raincoat, and I missed my bus, and I had to stand in the rain for twenty minutes waiting for the next one.
A: Well, don't bite my head off. I was just trying to be nice. It isn't my fault if you got up on the wrong side of the bed.
B: Look, Frances, I'm sorry, but today isn't my day. I've got three day's
Work on my desk and a dozen letters to get out by tomorrow.
A: I'm not criticizing you, Joe. I'll be good. I won't speak to you until the day after tomorrow. 
B: Okay, that's fine with me.

Bite my head off-speak angrily (冲着我发脾气)
Got up on the wrong side of the bed-began the day in a bad mood (一澡起来情绪不好)

A：早安，乔。你迟到了，是吗？
B：我是迟到了。鲍勃顺手牵羊拿走了我的雨衣，我没赶上我那班公共汽车，不得不在雨里站了二十分钟等下一班车。
A：好吧，别恼火。我没有责怪你的意思。如果你一早起来情绪不好，那不是我的过错。
B：听着，弗兰西斯，我很抱歉，不过今天我什么事都不顺心。我的办公桌上已经堆积了三天的工作，还有十几封信明天要发出。
A：乔，我不是在批评你。我会对你很友好的。后天之前我将不同你说话。
B：啊，那对我来说太好了。
