如下示例:

素材原文
For those on vacation, the occasional work-related thought might occur when walking quietly along the beach, or through a wood. Often such ideas will be all the more original for being dreamed up in a moment of detachment.
Work can be irritating but, as any unemployed person will tell you, it is better than the alternative. It gives purpose to people’s days and, on occasion, can even be fun. But not every day. Some days it is better to be reading a paperback. By a pool, in the sunshine. Enjoy. (156字)

素材学习
Holidays reduce stress. It means workers get more sleep by escaping the tyranny of the early-morning alarm. In addition, they no longer suffer the agonies of the daily commute: the cramped railway carriages or gridlocked roads. And best of all, there are no meetings to endure— no need to sit with a vaguely interested expression on your face while time seems to slow to a crawl.
度假可以减压. 假期能让人躲过清晨残酷的闹铃声,获得更多睡眠。此外,人们还可躲避每日通勤中那拥挤的车厢或拥挤的道路。最重要的是,不用再忍受会议的煎熬—-无需在简直度秒如年的会议上摆出饶有兴趣的表情。

For those on vacation, the occasional work-related thought might occur when walking quietly along the beach, or through a wood. Often such ideas will be all the more original for being dreamed up in a moment of detachment.
