Look at these two pie graphs. They show how these two people spend their days, not including weekends. The one on the top shows how Emma devides up her days. She is a designer who works for a large company.
看这两副饼图，展示了这两人如何度过他们的一天，不包括周末。上面这副展示了爱玛是如何分配她的一天的，她是一家大公司的设计师。
As Emma's graph shows, the biggest portion of her day is spent working. She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day. She gets an average of 6 hours of sleep, which is 25% of her day. That's less sleep than Martin gets. According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours of sleep, which is about 29% of his day. On the other hand, Martin who is an engineer, works more hours than Emma does. Martin averages 9 hours a day at work, compared to Emma's 8. That's thirty-seven point five percent compared to thirty-three percent. Other factors shown in the graphs include time for meals and commuting to work.
正如爱玛的图所示，她一天中占比最大的部分花在了工作上。她平均每天工作8小时，占她一天时间的三分之一。平均睡眠6小时，占一天的25%。这比马丁的睡眠时间少，根据马丁的图表，他平均睡眠时间为7小时，大约占他一天的29%。另一方面，马丁是个工程师，工作时间比爱玛长。马丁平均每天工作9小时，而艾玛是8小时，37.5%比33%。图中显示的其他因素包括用餐时间和通勤时间。
Other activities include getting dressed and household chores, such as doing laundry and paying bills. As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time. If he could reduce his commute time he would have more time for other things. And it isn't just the time. When the traffic is really heavy, his commute is stressful. It would be great if he could work from home one or two days a week. His life would be more enjoyable.
其他活动包括穿衣服和做家务，如洗衣服和付账单。正如你所看到的，对于马丁来说，上下班通勤花费了他大量的时间。如果他能减少通勤时间，他就会有更多的时间做其他事情。而且不仅仅是时间问题，当交通严重拥堵时，他的通勤压力就会加大。
如果他一周能在家工作一两天就太好了，他的生活将会更舒适。
As looking at Emma's graph, we see that she probably needs more sleep. Perhaps she should spend a bit less time socializing with her friends. On the other hand, socializing with her friends is something she really values. As for putting on makeup, she isn't willing to change that. For her, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stress of work. In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish that there were more hours in a day.
从爱玛的图中，我们可以看出她可能需要更多的睡眠，也许她应该在和朋友交往上少花点时间。而另一方面，与朋友交往是她真正看重的。至于化妆，她不愿意改变。对于她来说，锻炼、社交和保持美丽有助于她应对工作压力。总之，爱玛和马丁都希望每天能有更多的时间。
