- How do you say to work late？要怎么说加班到很晚呢？There are several ways to say it，有很多种讲法。Work overtime，this is the most common one。最常讲的讲法就是 work overtime，work late，work overtime。就是加班的意思。 You can also say work extra hours。Extra 是额外的意思，extra hours 就是额外的时数。Work extra hours 当然就是多上班喔，多加班的意思。 You can also say work an extra shift，多一个班次。Shift 是班次的意思。Work an extra shift，我今天又多上了一个班。本来只要上早班，后来又上了晚班。I worked two shifts today。我今天上了两个班。好，那夜班和大夜班怎么讲呢？You can say work the night shift，这是上夜班，the night shift。那大夜班则是 work the graveyard shift。Graveyard 是 moabola，graveyard shift 就是大夜班，因为晚上很可怕嘛，所以大夜班就是 graveyard shift。Work the graveyard shift，上大夜班。OK，这些是关于这个歌词的一些衍生的教学，我们继续看下去。Let's go on。 You got all the answers but the answers all are wrong。你好像得到了所有人生的答案，结果所有的答案都是错的。 I can't save me from my sins, innocence my long lost friend。我无法救我脱离自己的罪恶，纯真是我许久不见的朋友。好感伤喔。 No wind, no rain can wash away these hallowed words my mouth won't pray。任何风和雨都无法洗去我那嘴巴里说不出的神圣的祷告词。那这边我们来看一下 wash away，what does it mean？To carry someone or something away，也就是洗去的意思。所以如果我要说我要洗去我的悲伤，to wash away my sadness，洗去的意思。那我们来看一些跟 wash 有关的片语。Wash up。Wash up means to clean up something or someone by washing。It can also mean to bring someone or something up onto the shore or beach。Wash up 其实有两个意思，第一个意思是把什么给洗起来。Wash the baby up，帮这个婴儿洗个澡吧。Wash up the car，wash the car up，把这个车子给洗洗。那另外一个意思是海浪冲刷到岸边。The garbage was washed up on shore，垃圾被冲刷到岸边。所以有这两个意思。那这边也可以用过去式喔，但如果你用过去式的时候，它可以有另外一个意思。Washed up。Washed up 的另外一个意思是过时被淘汰的。那你可能在 HBO 电影里面都会听过这句话。You're so washed up，你真的很过时，你真的很被淘汰。意思就是说呢，这个人已经蟑螂踩进了，你已经不符合这个现代社会了。所以呢，如果你觉得你的老板很老古董的话，你可以说 My boss is all washed up。I think he should retire。哈哈哈，我觉得我的老板已经蟑螂踩进了，已经过时了，变恐龙了，我觉得他应该要退休了。好，My boss is all washed up。I think he should retire。那有 up 就会有 down。Wash down 什么意思呢？把什么用水给冲下去。Wash all the soap suds down the drain，把所有的肥皂水呢，冲到排水管里面。Wash all the soap suds down the drain。Alright, let's continue on with the lyrics.
要怎麼說加班到很晚呢？有很多種講法。Work overtime，這是最常見的講法。Work late，work overtime。就是加班的意思。你也可以說 work extra hours。Extra 是額外的意思，extra hours 就是額外的時數。Work extra hours 當然就是多上班喔，多加班的意思。你也可以說 work an extra shift，多一個班次。Shift 是班次的意思。Work an extra shift，我今天又多上了一個班。
