歡迎收聽《一分鐘英語》，在這裏我們將教您一些美式英語中的俚語。

Let's say you have worked all day, and you are really tried, like these people:

想象一下自己和這些人一樣，工作了一整天，非常的疲憊：

I am exhausted. I have been working at this since 7:00 a.m. this morning.

累死我了。從早上7點鐘一直上班到現在。

Me, too. I think it's time we call it a day.

我也是，我覺得是時候收工了。（call it a day）

I agree. Let's go home. Call it a day!

同意。回家吧，收工！（Call it a day）

When you "call it a day" in American English, it means you are ending work, play, or something you are doing that day.

在你在美語中説“call it a day”，意思是你放下了手頭上工作、玩樂，或者任何那天你在做的事情。

Often, it means you have finished your work, and you are going home.

它經常表示你完成工作，準備回家這個意思。

You can use this phrase in any situation, and everybody in America will understand you.

在任何場景你都可以使用這個短語。在美國，大家都能明白你的意思。

And that's English in a Minute.

以上就是本期的《一分鐘英語》。

So I'm calling it a day and going home.

所以我也要收工，準備回家啦！
