  Steve: You haven't moved from your desk for about five hours Mike.
  Mike: Tell me about it! I have two submissions due by 4PM today and I am way behind.
  Steve: I know that the reports are vital, but so is your health.
  Mike: My health is fine - I haven't had the flu at all this year.
  Steve: But what about your eyes and hands?
  Mike: They feel fine. Why are you asking about my eyes and hands?
  Steve: The HR department says that we should take a break for five minutes every hour to rest our eyes from staring at the computer and our hands from typing.
  Mike: Really? I didn't know that.
  Steve: Listen up and I will lecture you about OH&S.

  史蒂夫:那你的眼睛和手呢?
  迈克:它们很好,你为什么要问我的眼睛和手呀?
