中文原文

晚上在家,你本来想看一集剧集放松。刚点开视频,突然收到好几条工作消息。你只好停下看剧,花了不少时间处理工作,等忙完之后已经没有精力看剧了

My translation

I was at home tonight. I’d planned to watch an episode of TV for relax. By the time I opened the video, some work messages came in. I had to stop, and took quiet a few time to handel the work. When all things were done, I was already too exhausted to watching the TV.

Revised version

I was at home tonight. I’d planned to watch an episode of a show to relax. Right as I pulled up the video, several work messages popped up. I had to stop and spent quiet a bit of time handelling those work tasks. Once I finished everything, I was far too worn out to watch anything.

Key phrases

  • episode of a show, 没有episode of TV这种说法
  • pull up the video, 点开视频
  • messages popped up, 消息弹出来
  • quiet a bit of time, a few time是错误的,time是不可数
  • worn out, 疲惫不堪,口语中代替exhausted
