For the first few months of her position in the State Government, my wife had nothing to do, so she surfed the Web or did crossword puzzles. One day she expressed her boredom to a co-worker. “I know,” he complained. “Everyone thinks state workers have it easy. But there's only so much you can pretend you're doing.”
我太太在州政府上班頭幾個(gè)月,沒什么事情可做,于是她天天不是瀏覽互聯(lián)網(wǎng),就是玩縱橫填字謎。有一天,她向一位同事表露她的厭倦。她的同事抱怨說:“是啊,大家都以為州政府的工作好做。但是,你可以假裝在做的事情也只有這么一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。”
