唐鳳的工作秘訣
John and George are colleagues. John is asking George for some advice.
約翰和喬治是同事。約翰正在向喬治尋求一些建議。
advice(n.)建議、不可數
John: Hey, can I ask you something?
約翰：嘿，我可以問你一些事嗎？
George: Sure! What is it?
喬治：當然，怎麼了？
John: I feel like I can’t get things done on time recently. Do you have any time management tips that I can follow?
約翰：我最近覺得事情做不太完。你有什麼時間管理的竅門可以告訴我嗎？
get things done完成事情on time準時recently(adv.)最近time management時間管理follow(v.)追尋、跟隨
George: Hmm…maybe you can try the Pomodoro Technique. It’s recommended by Audrey Tang, our digital minister.
喬治：嗯嗯，也許可以嘗試看看「番茄時鐘法」，行政院數位政務委員唐鳳也有推薦。
recommend(v.)推薦、被動
John: What’s that?
約翰：那是什麼？
George: To put it simply, you can divide your time into several 25-minute periods. In each period, you focus on one task only. After that, you have 5 minutes to do other things. Take a short break, for instance.
喬治：就是把你得時間分成幾個25分鐘的區段，在這段時間內，你就專注做一件事情，25分鐘後，可以短暫花5分鐘來做其他事，比方說休息一下。
to put it simply簡單的說divide(v.)分配period(n.)期間、一段時間、逗號task(n.)任務take a break休息一下for instance=for example比方說
John: I guess that would work for me because I have a very short attention span; I can only concentrate for 20 minutes or so at one time. But 5 minutes of break may be too short for me.
約翰：我猜這個方法滿適合我的，因為我的注意力集中時間很短，每次只能專注20分鐘左右，但只休息5分可能對我來說太短了。
attention span注意力concentrate(v.)專心+onor so大約
George: Don’t worry. That one period is called a pomodoro. After 4 pomodoros, you can take a longer break for maybe 20 to 30 minutes.
喬治：別擔心，這樣一段時間叫做一個「番茄時刻」，每四個番茄時刻後，你可以休息久一點，也許25到30分鐘。
John: In that case, my brain could rest and absorb the information before the next round.
約翰：這樣能讓腦袋在下一個循環之前休息還有吸收資訊。
brain(v.)腦袋rest(v.)休息absorb(v.)吸收information(n.)資訊next round下一輪
George: Exactly! You’re a smart guy!
喬治：就是這樣，你好聰明！
