开始新的一天（06:00 AM）
Starting a New Day
I can’t believe I overslept again. It’s 6:00 a.m. already. To get to the office by 8 a.m., I have to leave home at 7 a.m. at the latest.
I have rushed for a quick shower within 30 minutes, together with complete make-up. I am done.
But now, what am I to wear? I should have thought about this before going to bed last night.
Keeping in mind the buyer’s meeting I have to attend this afternoon, a dark brown suit, although it seems a little out of style, would be the best choice for today.
By the time I left, it was 7:10 a.m. Since taking a taxi instead of a bus would save me 10 minutes, I head straight to the taxi stand.
Final ly ar r iving at the main entrance of the building at 7:40, I took some time to catch my breath.
Sitting down at my desk with a take-out cafe latte from the nearby coffee shop in hand, I turn on my laptop.
I am ready and set for another day!
TRANS
天呀，又睡过了头，都六点了。想要8点到公司7点就得出发。
冲澡和化妆30 分钟就搞定了。
但是，穿什么呢？昨晚睡觉前就应该想好的。
今天下午要接见客户，那就穿虽然不怎么时髦但适合今天场合的深棕色正装吧。
7 点10 分出门。
想要省10 分钟，还是不要坐公交车了，坐出租车吧。
7 点40 分到公司门口，我才松了口气。
拿着我在附近的咖啡店买的一杯牛奶咖啡，我坐在办公桌前启动了电脑。
我已经准备好迎接新的一天了。
