Hello, I am Neil. Are you feeling OK, – you don't look very happy?
Oh Neil, it's been a stressful week – I've been working late, I'm so tired - and I've had no time to do any housework. 我家里简直乱的一塌糊涂。
Neil
Isn't your house always a mess?!
Erm… very funny!
Neil
Seriously, you need a break. Take some time off.
休假?Easier said than done – but how will that help?
Neil
Well, having a break from work, will help blow away the cobwebs.
Excuse me? Are you saying I should take some time off so I can do my housework – and get rid of all the cobwebs in my house? 我家里是有点儿乱,但还不至于到处挂满蜘蛛网。

I've been stuck indoors for days, I need to blow the cobwebs away and go for a run.
I know studying is hard, why don’t you go for a walk in the park to blow the cobwebs away? It might help you think more clearly.

Neil
Yes.
Now how about blowing the cobwebs away with me and going for a run?
Neil
Running? Erm… I don't know… You know I'm feeling a little tired now.
别找借口了!Come on, it's time to blow away your cobwebs too!
Neil
Maybe I could do your housework instead?
Bye.
Neil
Bye.
