《English Translation》

刘娜: David, do you know how people in China take a break at noon in the office?
大卫: No, is it just for lunch?
刘娜: Yes, first they eat lunch, then many people take a short nap.
大卫: They sleep in the office?
刘娜: Yes, many people nap for about twenty minutes at their desks.
大卫: Is it allowed to do that in the company?
刘娜: Yes, it's very common in China and helps with afternoon work.
大卫: That's so interesting! It's not quite the same in the US.
刘娜: Yes, every country's workplace culture is different.
大卫: I think the Chinese lunch break is very healthy.
