ESL Podcast 660 – Work-Related Injuries(在线收听

  Darrelle: I just went to a seminar about work-related injuries. I really have to rethink my workspace.
  Kim: Work-related injuries? It’s not like we’re doing heavy lifting every day. We sit at our desks all day.
  Darrelle: That’s the problem. Look at how you’re slouching over your keyboard. Poor posture can cause a lot of problems over time. Aren’t you always complaining about back pain?
  Kim: Yeah, but…
  Darrelle: And look at how you squint at your computer monitor all day. Aren’t you always complaining about headaches? You’re probably suffering from eye strain.
  Kim: It’s true that I sometimes have headaches.
  Darrelle: It’s no wonder. Look at what we do all day, repetitive motion after repetitive motion. Aren’t you suffering from elbow pain right now?
  Kim: I was this morning…
  Darrelle: See what I mean? We need better ergonomics in this office.
  Kim: Okay, where do we start?
  Darrelle: I think we need to sign up for a seminar on how to prevent work- related injuries.
  Kim: What do you have in mind?
  Darrelle: How about this four-day seminar?
  Kim: But that seminar is in Florida.
  Darrelle: What better way to recover from any work-related injuries than spending four days and three nights in Florida?
  Kim: Count me in!
