一般開大會的時候,中間都會讓大家休息幾分鐘,伸伸胳膊腿,解決下內(nèi)急等等。像這樣的休息時間在英語中很形象地被叫做bio break。
Bio break refers to a general break for one's body: stretching one's legs, going to the bathroom, getting a drink of water, etc. The term is generally used during meetings, presentations, and other workplace occasions.
Bio break(字面意思為“生理休息”)指讓身體稍事放松的小憩時間,大家可以伸伸腿,去下衛(wèi)生間,打杯水等等,這里譯為“會間小憩”。這個詞多用在會議、演示講座等職場活動中。
For example:
Let's take a 10 minute bio break and be back in our seats at 3:30.
我們會間休息十分鐘,請在3點30分回到座位。
