[color=seagreen]公司里的紧张程度是人所共知的。要是恰巧你的电脑坏了，要技术来修，你肯定想知道要等多久才能修好、再开始工作。那么这个用英语该怎么说呢？答案就在下面。

1. Where did you keep the files?
你的档案都放在哪里？
你把档案“放”哪里，一般情況下我们大概会说：Where did you put the files? 其实说 Where did you keep the files? 也是可以的。严格说来 put 是单纯“放”在那里，而 keep 则有“保存”的意思。不过两者其实意思很接近。比方说你喝了牛奶还剩一些，我对你说：Please put the milk in the refrigerator. (請把牛奶放在冰箱。) 或是 Please keep the milk in the refrigerator. 都行。
2. How long is it gonna be? Probably?
大概要多久啊？
当我们请人家办一件事时，最不希望在那里苦等。所以呢，最好的办法就是先问一下：How long is it gonna be? （需要多久呢？）有时可以视情况在句尾加上 Probably? 就是请对方大概估算一下，不需太过精确。比方说你电脑坏了，要技术人员帮你修理，就不妨顺便问一下：How long is it gonna be? Probably?（大概需要多久？）这里 gonna 是口语讲法，相当于 going to。
像这种“大概多久”的问法，也可以用approximately 这个词。比方说：Approximately how long will it take to arrive home? （大概要多久才能到家呢？）
