Like no other 与众不同

One way or another 无论如何；以某形式

Would rather A than B 两个都用动词原型。如果是在对话当中，双方都知道B的内容，则可以省略B, 只说Would rather A.

eg. I would rather stay at home than go shopping.
I would rather stay at home.

I would rather = I’d rather

比较 prefer 更喜欢 的用法

go too far 口语及书面都用，语气比较强烈

that’s too much 口语化，相对温和

Enough！ 受够了
Enough is enough! 同样意思但较上面更剧化表达一点，情绪较大
I’ve had enough 我已经受够了。注意是完成式。

stand 忍受，口语常用，语气不是太强
tolerate 忍受，但更正式更强烈

用法 stand/tolerate sb doing sth
eg. I can’t stand/tolerate him playing music at 11 PM.

打卡的两种表达
Punch in/out
Clock in/out
两种表达意思一样

上班
go to work 去上班
表示上班的状态，用at work
I will be at work at 8 AM.

下班

有上下文的情况下，用get off较简洁。get off也有下车的意思。get off the bus.

下班如果只是表达状态性的 （上述为动作性），可以用off, 表示结束的状态
-Are you working this Saturday?
-No, I’m off.

加班；加班时间.
Overtime – n (不可数), adj, adv. (remarks: 金山词霸只显示有n，实际用法上有adj及adv)
work (too much/ a lot of) overtime
