1. Are weekends important to you?
Well, it’s quite important. I normally work round the clock on workweek; so sleeping all-day and chilling out during weekends are just right for me. Plus, I may go clubbing with close friends though I need a couple of days to sleep it off.
非常重要。我經(jīng)常在周中持續(xù)工作，所以周末全天睡覺及出去放松對我來講是必須的。而且我還可以在周末跟好朋友去泡夜店，雖然需要睡幾天才能緩過來。
2. How do you (usually) spend the weekend?
Well, the best thing to do is to treat my friends to a night out. I normally take my friends out for dinner; finding some best-kept secret restaurants is the most interesting thing we often do. After that, we usually go to a jazz club or live house, as I’m a die-hard jazz fan.
最好的方式就是請朋友們晚上出去玩兒。我一般帶朋友們出去吃飯，找一些不為人知的好餐廳吃飯是我們常干的最有意思的事情。這之后，我們經(jīng)常去爵士樂俱樂部或現(xiàn)場，因為我是個鐵桿爵士樂迷。
3. Which do you prefer, Saturday or Sunday?
I love Sunday. I don’t need to hang out with friends and lie-in, as I have to shoot off early on the next day, otherwise I will be late for work. Plus, listening to some ambient music or reading literature at home is like a good day for me.
我喜歡周日。因為第二天得很早出門，周日晚上我就不用和朋友出去玩然后睡懶覺了，否則第二天就要遲到。另外，在家聽些氛圍音樂或者讀讀文學作品對我來說也是不錯的一天。
4. Is it important for people to have weekends off?
Well, it’s quite essential for people to have 2 days off per week. You know, in order to work efficiently, people need a good rest and should have leisure time to do some outdoor activities, especially those white-collar workers, to keep healthy and replenish their energy.
每周兩天休息對人們太重要了。為了工作有效率，人們需要有好的休息，需要有空閑時間做一些室外活動來保持健康補充能量，尤其是那些白領(lǐng)工作者。
5. Should people be paid overtime for working at the weekend?
Yes, because workers have to spend all days in the office at the expense of leisure activities. Bosses should reward them with high salaries, higher chance of promotion and perceive them as role models.
是的。因為員工們必須犧牲休閑活動，每天待在辦公室里工作。老板們應(yīng)該以高工資和更多的晉升機會來獎勵他們，并將他們視為勞模。
