杰夫的一天 第46期：穿好衣服 準備上班講解(8)

Usually a briefcase is square and it usually has hard sides on it, many times it has a lock on the top; that's a briefcase. 公文包一般是方形的，并且有硬邊，它頂部常常有鎖;那就是公文包。

A lot of people nowadays do not use a briefcase; they use a computer bag, 如今很多人都不用公文包;他們用電腦包，

a bag that they can put their computer and other information in, including their papers. 他們可以用來裝電腦和公文等其他資料的包。

Well, I put my things into my computer bag, 嗯，我把物品裝進電腦包，

then I go "back into the kitchen to grab my Thermos," to get or take my Thermos with my coffee in it "on the way out the door." 然后我“回到廚房去拿保溫瓶”，“在出門的時候”去拿裝有咖啡的保溫瓶

The expression, on the way out, means that you are about to leave or you are leaving your house, in this case. 短語“on the way out”，在這里的意思是你將要離開你的房子。

Somebody may call you on the phone and you are getting ready to go to dinner, 比如，有人打電話給你，而你準備去赴晚宴，

you could say, "I can't talk right now, I'm on my way out the door," means I'm just getting ready to leave. 你可以說，“這會兒我不能跟你說話，我要出門了，”意思是我正要離開呢。

Well, before I leave—before I'm going out the door—I "grab my Thermos. 嗯，在我離開之前——在我出門之前——我“拿上保溫瓶。

I lock the door," to my house, "and then I hurry to my car in the garage." 我鎖上房門”，然后我趕往車庫那里。”
