一般开大会的时候,中间都会让大家休息几分钟,伸伸胳膊腿,解决下内急等等。像这样的休息时间在英语中很形象地被叫做bio break。
Bio break refers to a general break for one's body: stretching one's legs, going to the bathroom, getting a drink of water, etc. The term is generally used during meetings, presentations, and other workplace occasions.
Bio break(字面意思为“生理休息”)指让身体稍事放松的小憩时间,大家可以伸伸腿,去下卫生间,打杯水等等,这里译为“会间小憩”。这个词多用在会议、演示讲座等职场活动中。
For example:
Let's take a 10 minute bio break and be back in our seats at 3:30.
我们会间休息十分钟,请在3点30分回到座位。
