Call It A Day
Hi everyone -大家好, my name is Sean; 我是欧尚。My name is Laura; 我是罗拉。 And we are teachers with 微Talk; 我们是WeiTalk的英语老师。
Today, we’re going to learn what it means to “call it a day”
[今天,我们要来学习的短语是,call it a day。]
The phrase “call it a day” is typically used when you plan to stop doing something for the day. In fact, it is very similar to saying “well, that’s enough for today.” For example, a teacher can say: “let’s call it a day” to mean that class is over.
Call it a day可以理解为“今天就到这儿吧”表示计划今天停止做某件事儿。其实和“well, that’s enough for today”的意思很相似。比如,老师可以说let’s call it a day,就表示今天的课就上到这里吧。
Remember the phrase is “let’s call it a day”! So, let’s give it a try.
Sentence 1: It’s time to call it a day (read twice)
[今天就到这儿吧。]
Sentence 2:. I’m tired so I think I’m going to call it a day. (read twice)
[我累了,我觉得今天就到这儿吧。]
Sentence 3: We’ve done so much already, let’s call it a day. (read twice)
[我们已经完成很多任务了,今天就到这儿吧。]
So can you name a situation where would be appropriate to use this phrase? Leave us a comment below and I think that’s about it for now, so why don’t we call it a day?
我们今天就到这吧,再见!
