aYou didn’t show up in the morning meeting. What’s up?
你没有参加今天早上的会议。你怎么了?
bWell, I just came in. I worked overtime yesterday. Some statistics and very important documents seemed to be inaccurate. So I stayed to double check them. The boss was aware of my very late work of last night. So before he left office, he told me I could come one hour later this morning.
aBut you still look a little bit tired. What time did you leave?
但是你看起来仍然有点累。你什么时候离开的?

凌晨1点半左右。我直到3点钟才睡着,因为那些数字一直在我的脑海里闪现。我不能停止去想那些数字。
