My day was a nightmare! I had a job interview this morning but I forgot to set the alarm clock. I overslept and couldn’t have a shower or breakfast. I went to the garage putting on my shoes and setting my hair at the same time.


今天对我来说像噩梦一般!今天早上我有个面试,但是我忘了提前调好闹钟。我睡过头了,来不及洗澡或者吃早饭。我一边穿鞋子,一边梳头发,同时冲向车库。


The car wouldn’t start, and I was only able to make it work at the third time I tried. The traffic was awful and I arrived at the parking garage 5 minutes before the interview. Luckily I found a spot, but a guy in a red Mercedes tried to take it. I cut him off and managed to put my car there and – of course - he didn’t like it, he complained not in a nice way and I had to tell him what I think of people like him.


汽车发动不了,我尝试了三次才启动。路上交通糟透了,我在面试前5分钟赶到了停车场。很幸运的是我找到了一个停车位,但是一个开红色奔驰的家伙也想停进去。我堵住了他,然后把我的车子停在那个车位上。当然,这让他很不爽,他非常不礼貌地抱怨,我也不示弱,我告诉他我怎么看待像他这种人。


I was quarreling with the jerk when I slammed my finger in the car door, and I was so nervous that I didn’t notice the keys were still in the car and locked it.


我和那个混蛋争吵,手指不小心被车门夹了。然后又太紧张了,没注意到车钥匙还在车里就把车锁了。


I didn’t have time to deal with it at that moment, so I rushed to arrive for the interview on time and guess who the interviewer was: the guy I met at the parking garage!


这时候我来不及处理了,我赶着去面试,还好准时到了。你们猜,面试官是谁?我在那个停车场遇到的那个家伙。


I wish I hadn’t gotten up today.


我真希望今天早上没起床。
