By the time it’s 5pm on a Friday, the headache and dry eyes have well and truly(完全地，彻底地) settled in. Maybe it’s a long day in front of your four screens while funnelling white noise through a large pair of headphones to cancel out the calls of your co-workers.(也许是因为你在四块屏幕前熬了一整天，同时用大耳机灌入白噪音，以盖过同事的说话声。) Or maybe it’s the almost chemical wash of white fluorescent lights that shine from the low ceiling in your open-plan office, or the feeling of enclosure(封闭感，围困感) as you look out the window on to the reflective walls of other towers.
到了周五下午五点，头痛和眼干早已牢牢缠上你。也许是因为你在四块屏幕前熬了一整天，同时用大耳机灌入白噪音，以盖过同事的说话声。又或许是开放式办公室里低矮天花板上那近乎化学漂白般的白色荧光灯，或是你望向窗外时，对面高楼反光墙面带来的幽闭感。
To lift your spirits(振作精神，提升情绪), you decide to treat yourself to(犒劳自己，享受) a weekend at a beachside Airbnb.
为了振作精神，你决定犒劳自己，去海滨的Airbnb度个周末。
But the town is not how you remember it as a kid. The farmland has been turned into identical(完全相同的) housing estates(住宅区，住宅小区) broken up by highway-hugging(紧贴公路的) shopping centres with the same Guzman, Woolies, Chemist Warehouse, Dan Murphy’s and Priceline(澳大利亚常见连锁品牌) as all the other shopping centres.
但小镇已不是你童年记忆中的样子。农田变成了千篇一律的住宅区，被紧贴公路的购物中心分割开来，这些购物中心里有着和其他所有购物中心一样的Guzman、Woolies、Chemist Warehouse、Dan Murphy’s和Priceline。
