As an attorney in a law firm, I have many colleagues who work long hours. However, my partner not only had to leave work early one day because of a medical problem, but was also told by his doctor to stay home until the end of the week. He grudgingly agreed to comply. In the middle of the week, our receptionist received a call for him. She announced that he was out of the office until Friday. “Good,” the caller said. “That's all I wanted to know.” It was his doctor.
作为一个在法律事务所工作的律师,我有很多同事每天工作很长时间。可是有一天,我的搭档生了病,不但要提前走,而且医生让他在家里一直呆到周末。他很不情愿地答应了。在那个星期的中间,接待员接到一个找他的电话,就告诉对方说,他在星期五之前都不会来上班。对方说:“好。这正是我想要知道的。”打电话的是他的医生。
