7 No Work in the Dark

I urgently¹ needed a few days off work， but I knew my bosswould not allow me to take a leave． I thought that maybe if Iacted crazy he would tell me to take a few days off． So I hungupside down on the ceiling and made funny noises． My co-workerasked me what I was doing． I told her I was pretending to be alight bulb so the boss would think I was crazy and give me afew days off． A few minutes later the boss came in and said，“What are you doing?” I told him I was a light bulb．He said：“you are clearly stressed out． Go home and have a restfor a couple of days．” I jumped down and walked out of theoffice． When my co-worker followed me， the boss said to her，“And where do you think you're going?” She said， “I can't workin the dark!”
leave ? 假期
stress out 压力过大


我不能摸黑工作

我急切地需要请几天假，但我知道老板不会同意。我想要是我装疯他也许会让我请几天假，所以我把自己倒挂在天花板上，发出古怪的声音。我的同事问我在干什么。我告诉他，我正装成个电灯泡，这样老板会觉得我疯了而准我几天假。几分钟后，老板进来了，他说：“你在干什么？”我告诉他我是个电灯泡。

他说：“你肯定是压力太大了。回家休息几天吧。”我跳了下来，走出了办公室。当我同事跟着我出来时，老板问她：“你准备到哪里去？”她说，“我不能摸黑工作。”
