几乎每个上班族都有过迟到的经历,据俄罗斯报刊上发表的一项最新社会调查结果显示,13%的上班族每周至少迟到一次,24%的人会每月迟到一次。然而真实的迟到原因要么有些尴尬,要么微不足道。于是,大部分迟到者都会为自己找一个自认为最佳的理由。以下是一些很热门的迟到借口:
1. i got stuck in traffic.
我路上堵车了。
2. i know it might sound lame, but my alarm clock somehow didn't go off this morning.
我知道那可能听起来有点蹩脚,但我的闹钟今天早上不知道怎么搞的没有响。
3. sorry, i overslept this morning.
对不起,我今天早上睡过头了。
4. sorry, i didn't catch the bus.
对不起,我没赶上公共汽车。
5. i was working too late last night so that i couldn't get up on time.
我昨天工作太晚以至于今早没及时起床。
6. i lost my key of my car.
我把车钥匙弄丢了。
7. my car broke down.
我的车抛锚了。
