【英语时差8,16】忘掉工作彻底放松

（单词翻译）

 let’s find out what people have to say about switching off. The first one is columnist² Amanda Platell. "But I cannot switch off, I just can’t. And I seem to be getting worse and worse as I get older. And when I was first asked to think about this idea, I was sitting there with Radio 4, which I listen to as soon as I get up, that’s the alarm, waiting for the political interview in the morning; I was writing my column¹; I had LBC on another radio on the desk because I was about to do an interview with them, trying to crib up on the story I was supposed to be talking about, and the phone rang, and I had a Spaghetti Bolognese cooking downstairs, because I was having 10 people to dinner that night. And I just thought, 'This is insane³, you know, I’ve lost my sense of balance I think!'" Here’s Kaz. He has a holiday home in Greece. "Switch off, that’s something I can do really do easily, especially when I go on holiday to Greece. The blue sky, the blue sea, the warm sunshine and the lovely food just help me drift⁴ away. I forget all my worries. I have no computers, I have nothing to think about, I don't even switch on the radio. There is certainly no television. And I just relax and float away." John also finds it easy to switch off completely. "I used to find it almost impossible to switch off. But as I’ve got older, the one thing that has got better in my life is that I am able to switch off. In fact even if I’ve had a stressful day at work, I am able to put away, put aside, memories of the working day when I get home and completely switch off. I have no problem at all with that. Even more so when I go on a holiday. Within the first two days I have almost forgotten everything about my life at home and life at work, so I can really switch off completely and immerse⁵ myself in what’s going on around me during the holiday."
