中文原文

早上你起床比平时晚,来不及在家吃早饭。路上买了个面包,一边走路一边吃。赶到公司的时候刚好踩点打卡,坐下来之后心跳还有点快。

My translation

I got up late this morning, so I did not have enough time to eat breakfast at home. I bought a bread and ate while walking. By the time I arrived at the company, I just catch up the schedule. After sitting down, my heart still beat a bit fast.

Revised version

I got up late this morning, so I didn’t have time for breakfast at home. I bought a bun and ate it as I walked. When I got to the office, I just made it in time to clock in. After I sat down, my heart was still beating a little fast.
