中文原文
你午休点了外卖,外卖比预计时间晚了很久送到。饭拿到手已经有点凉了,简单吃完之后,你只剩下很短的休息时间,很快就要回去继续工作
My translation
I ordered take-out food during the lunch break, but it took much longer time to be delivered than expected. The meal was a bit cold when I got it, then I had a quick lunch. After the meal, I only had very little time to have a rest, then I had to go back to work.
Revised version
I ordered takeout for my lunch break, but the delivery took a lot longer than I’d expected. My food was already slightly cold by the time I got it, so I ate quickly. After finishing my meal, I barely had any time for a break before I had to get back to work.
