5、语言提示 1.take a break意为“休息一下”，同have a rest. 2.be up to one”s neck (ears) in 此短语表示某人需要做的事情太多，都要堆到脖子或耳朵那么高了，意即某人特别劳碌。如:I”m up to my neck in the whole mess. 我忙得一塌糊。I”m up to my ears in lave. 我爱得天昏地暗。此外，与 neck 有关的短语 break the neck of. 则表示“做完(工作等)最难的局部”。需要留意的是，I”m up to here. (说话时带动作，将一只手横放在脖子前，掌心向下)这一句的意思
6、则与上述几句话貌同而实不同。该句表示“我受够了”，意同I”ve had enough. 或 I”m fed up。 3.he under much pressure = be under a lot of pressure 压力很大 4.How come? 本句是特别口语化的表达，与 Dialogue 3中的“Why is that?”一句意思大致一样。类似的表达方式还有 How comes it that.? (怎么会了呢?) 5.deadline 名词，原意为“(囚犯逾越时即格杀勿论的)死线”，后引申为“截止时间”，可构成词组 meet a deadline, 意为“赶期”。 b.sedentary a. 坐定不动的; n. 坐着工作的人 7.a pay rise 加薪 8.give full play to (one”s skills / one”s speciality)充分发挥(某人的力量/某人的特长)。play 在词组中为名词，意为“活动范围，才能的运用”。
