ESL杰夫的一天 第45期:穿好衣服 准备上班讲解(7)

 　　So, I put my keys and cell phone in the front pocket "and my wallet in the back" pocket. 因此，我把钥匙和手机放进前兜里，“钱包放在后兜里”。

　　My wallet, "wallet," is where I put my money and my credit cards and my driver's license¹; all of those things go in my wallet. 我的钱包（wallet）是我放钱、信用卡和驾照的地方；所有这些东西都在我的钱包里。

　　"I put on my glasses," because I cannot see without my glasses very well, and I "check myself in the mirror." “我带上眼镜，”因为不戴眼镜我就看不太清楚，并且我“照一照镜子”。

　　To check yourself means to look at yourself, usually in a mirror, and you can see how you look. 照我自己的意思通常是在镜子里看自己，你能看到你的长相怎么样。

　　I usually look pretty ugly. 我通常是猪八戒第二。

　　I "check myself in the mirror, and then" I "go into" my "home office," or my office in my house and "get my bag. 我“照一照镜子”，然后我"走进我的家庭办公室也就是我房子里的办公室”拿我的包。

　　"I used to carry a more traditional briefcase²." “我过去常常提着更传统的公文包。”

　　A briefcase, "briefcase," (all one word) is not something that you put your underwear in—your briefs. 公文包（briefcase）（一个字）不是你装内衣——三角裤的包。

　　A briefcase means the thing that you carry papers in when you are going from your home to your office. 公文包是你从家前往办公室的时候提着用来装公文的包。
