A Coworker’s Birthday 同事生日

无聊天才

Jane：So, what’s the plan for Tom’s birthday?

阿珍：那么，關于湯姆的生日有何計劃？

Roger：He’ll arrive at 9:00, so we’ll all need to hide in the break room before that.

羅傑：他九時會到，所以我們在那之前全都要躲到茶水間。

Nicole：Make sure your computer is off. We want it to look like nobody’s here.

妮可：確定妳的電腦要關機。我們要讓這裡看起來好像沒人一樣。

Jane：Alright, then what?

阿珍：好的，然后呢？

Nicole：Kate made a cake, so we’ll light candles on it and wait for him to come check the break room.

妮可：凱特烤了一個蛋糕，所以我們會在蛋糕上點蜡燭，然后等他來茶水間一探究竟。

Roger：As soon as he opens the door, we’ll all jump out and shout,“Surprise!”
羅傑：他一開門，我們就跳出來大叫：Surprise!。?

Jane：Great! I can’t wait to see the look on his face.

阿珍：太棒了！我等不及要看他臉上的表情。

[多學一點點]

★hide vi. 躲藏

動詞三態：hide, hid, hidden。

★hide from... 躲避……

hide亦可作及物動詞，表“把?藏起來”：

★hide A from B 將A藏起來避免被B發現

例：Billy tried to hide his secret from his mom, but to no avail.（比利想把秘密瞞著媽媽，結果沒用。）
