Feifei
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English with me, Feifei…
Rob
… and hello, it’s me, Rob.
Feifei
Have you had a busy day today?
Rob
Ah! I sure have. And there’s plenty more to do before home time!
Feifei
Well, after this programme, I think I’ll call it a day. I’ve got my yoga class to go to.
Rob
Call it a day? You’ve only been here seven hours and there are 24 hours in a day.
Feifei
I know that, Rob. But I’ve finished my work, so that’s my day finished! 我們用表達 “call it a day” 來表示 “到此為止，結束工作”。I’ve done my work, so I really must call it a day – I don’t want to miss my yoga class.
Rob
Haven’t you got time for some examples?
Feifei
Of course!
Examples
We’ve been working on this presentation for hours now. Let’s call it a day and carry on tomorrow.
Can we call it a day? We’ve been training since this morning – I’m exhausted.
It’s almost six o’clock, so let’s call it a day and carry on with the building work tomorrow.
Feifei
你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。以上我們給大家舉例講解了在日常對話中 “call it a day” 的意思和用法。我們用 “call it a day” 來表示 “收工吧，今天就幹到這裡吧”—— let’s call it a day! Now, Rob, if you think you’ve done enough, why don’t you just call it a day?
Rob
I couldn’t possibly finish work now! I’m going to be working into the night.
Feifei
So, what are you doing that’s making you work so late?
Rob
Well, I volunteered to write some extra Authentic Real English scripts.
Feifei
Oh, don’t worry about that now, Rob. Call it a day and do it tomorrow.
Rob
OK, Feifei, if you say so. In that case, maybe I could join you at your yoga class?
Feifei
Sure, come along!
Rob
Great!
