Smith goes to see his boss in the front office. "Boss，" he says: "we're doing some heavy house-cleaning at home tomorrow， and my wife needs me to help with the attic（阁楼） and the garage."

"We're short-handed， Smith." the boss replies. "I can't give you the day off."

"Thanks， boss，" says Smith， "I know I could count on you!"

“老板，我们家明天有很重的工作要做，我妻子让我修阁楼和车库。”

“可我们很缺人，史密斯。”

“谢谢，老板。”

史密斯说，“我就知道你会帮我。”
