留美老師帶你每日說英文 第1086期:遲到代表不尊重他人

臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是：

And I always underestimate how long something is going to take. I don't like this about myself. I understand that me showing up late is seen as a sign of disrespect by people and it is! It is disrespectful. I feel terrible about that because I really respect the people I work with and I value them tremendously.

而且我總是很沒時間概念。我不喜歡自己這樣。我知道在別人眼中遲到代表不尊重他人，而且也確實是這樣沒錯。這真的很失禮。我也覺得自己這樣很糟糕，因爲我真的很尊重與我共事的人，也非常重視他們。
