我们每周都有168个小时。24乘以7是168个小时。这是一段很长时间。假如你有一个全职的工作,一周是40个小时,每晚睡八个小时,一周是56个小时,我们有剩下72个小时来做其他事情。这是一段很长的时间。
full-time adj.专职的;全日制的;全部时间的;
You say you're working 50 hours a week, maybe a main job and a side hustle. Well, that leaves 62 hours for other things. You say you're working 60 hours. Well, that leaves 52 hours for other things. You say you're working more than 60 hours. Well, are you sure?
假如你说你每周工作50个小时,比如一份全职和一份兼职。这样你还是有60小时去做其他的事情。假如你说你每周工作60个小时,你还是有52个小时去做其他的事情。你说你每周工作超过60个小时,你确定吗?
a main job and a side hustle 主业和副业 hustle /ˈhʌsl/ vt. 催促;n. 匆忙
There was once a study comparing people's estimated workweeks with time diaries. They found that people claiming 75-plus-hourwork weeks were off by about 25 hours. You can guess in which direction, right?
曾经有一个研究对比了人们估计的工作时间,和实际的工作日记。他们发现那些表示工作超过75小时的人,有25小时的误差。你可以猜到哪个方向对吧?

Anyway, in 168 hours a week, I think we can find time for what matters to you. If you want to spend more time with your kids, you want to study more for a test you're taking, you want to exercise for three hours and volunteer for two, you can. And that's even if you're working way more than full-time hours.
无论如何,在一周的168个小时里,我觉得我们总可以找到时间做我们想做的事。如果你想花时间陪陪你的孩子,或者准备你即将到来的考试,你想锻炼两三个小时或者做两个小时志愿者,你都可以的。即便你的工作时间远超过正常上班时间。
way 这里做副词,远远地 full-time hour 全职时间,这里意译为正常上班时间
