“无心上班,只想放假”用英语怎么说?



语境:上班的时候老想着放假,心思不在工作上。

I can't stop thinking about the holiday; work is the last thing on my mind.
the last person/thing sb. wants/expects/needs表示the least expected or wanted person or thing,某人最不想要/最不需要的人,最不想做的事等等。
You are the last man/woman in the world I'd marry.
我和谁结婚都不会和你结婚。/就算全世界的男人/女人都没了,我都不可能和你结婚。
She's the last person I want to see right now.
我现在最不想见到的人就是她。
这个短语每个单词我们都会,但如果不知道这个短语就想不到“最不想要”的英语还能这么说。类似的表达我积累了一些,后边整理好发出来。
I keep daydreaming about the holiday.
daydream /ˈdeɪdriːm/ 动词,表示to think about something pleasant,做白日梦,幻想。
We've still got two more days, but my mind's already on vacation.
on vacation /vəˈkeɪʃən/ 表示“放假中,在度假”。
It's hard to focus on work when all I can think about is the holiday.
My mind is elsewhere. I'm barely listening to my boss.
elsewhere /elsˈweə/ 副词,“在别处”,sb's mind is elsewhere表示某人的心思在别的地方,在想别的事情,不关心当前的事,没有在听别人讲话等等。barely /ˈbeəli/ 副词,“几乎不,几乎没有”。
I'm here, but my mind's (a million) miles away.
sb./sb's mind is miles away表示to not be paying attention to anything happening around you,心不在焉,在想别的事情,没有关注到身边的事。a million加不加都可以,加的话语气更夸张一点。
I keep checking the clock and counting down the minutes.
count down动词短语,表示“倒数,倒计时”,be counting (down) the minutes/hours/days表示to be waiting eagerly for something to happen,在倒计时,非常期待某个日子的到来。
如果是当天这种这种时间比较近的就是counting down the minutes/hours,以分钟/小时为单位倒计时;如果是比较远的,比如说放完国庆开始期盼春节,那用counting down the days更合适。
这个短语后边可以搭配to或until,然后再加上期待的事件。
She's counting down the days to her wedding.
The kids are counting down the days until school is over.
注意这一期的句子可能都不太适合在公司或者和同事说,尤其是如果公司氛围比较严肃。和朋友说说还可以。
