ESL露西的一天 第65期:工作与午餐讲解(2)

Your agenda, "agenda," is a list of things - a schedule of things that you need to do today: 你的日程，“日程”是一个清单——就是事情的安排，你今天需要做的事情：

appointments, phone calls, and so forth²; all of these would be part of your agenda. 约会、电话等等，所有这些都是你日程的一部分。

Lucy says that she "had about 30 new emails in" her "inbox." Your inbox, "inbox," is in your email program, 露西说她“收件箱里”“有大约30封新邮件”。你的收件箱，“收件箱”在你的邮件程序中，

and that is the place where you find the messages that people have sent you. 在这里你能找到人们发送给你的邮件。
