GWが明けて、水曜日、次の実践ビジネス英語が始まるというのに、
先週分のアップです。
簡単に済ませようかと思ったら、難しい表現ばかり。
文字通りアップアップ状態です。

Shiga and his co-workers talk about the importance of finding a good balance between work life and home life. And the way Great Lakes is helping them cope.

cut someone some slack [ (人に）猶予を与える、息抜きをさせてやる
cut/give somebody some slack
=to allow someone to do something without criticizing them or making it more difficult(LDOCE)
#"cut some slack for yourself or someone else" means "ease off" or "loosen up," "relax" or "take it easy."

#If you are "on top of something," when it's not physically, it usually means you are in control. You know all about it. You can handle it with no trouble.
grouch [ 不平を言う
=to complain in a slightly angry way [= moan]
#Cortez uses the word "grouch." She could have said "grumble" or she
could have even said "bellyache." You can use bellyache" as a verb to mean complain a little bit.

＊bellyacheって、名詞ならstomachache、びっくり！
overall [ （文頭で用いて）全体的に見れば、概して

chafe at the bit [ いらだつ

lo and behold [ 驚いたことに、これは驚いた<会話で相手の注意を引くために使われる＞

morale [ やる気、士気、勤労意欲
=the level of confidence and positive feelings that people have, especially people who work together, who belong to the same team etc:
*A win is always good for morale.(LDOCE)
#It's "m-o-r-a-l-e" with the stress on
the second syllable, moRAle. And it refers to the enthusiasm and cheerfulness and happiness at the office, the good feelings about work and colleagues and the company.
