马不停蹄地忙了一上午，吃过午饭回到桌前发现还有那么多活儿没干完，这眼睛立马就不想睁着了。这样的mid-day crisis大概很多人都经历过吧。
Mid-day crisis refers to the situation when one is in a desperate need for a siesta because they become extremely tired in the afternoon and coffee isn't cutting it any longer, or when it's the middle of the day, and you realize you have a lot to do and not enough time to do it. As a result, your mind locks up and you can't work, you just sit and pity yourself。
午间危机指下午特别疲惫急需午睡来恢复精神的情况，这个时候咖啡什么的已经不管用了。另外，午间危机也可以指到了中午才意识到还有很多工作要做，而剩下的时间已经不够用的情况。在这种情况下，人的大脑就会自动锁定，无法继续工作，只能坐在那里顾影自怜。
For example:
Perhaps casual chatting with colleagues in the pantry over a cup of tea for a good fifteen minutes will soothe the mid-day crisis symptoms。
到餐室喝杯茶，跟同事闲聊个15分钟可能会缓解午间危机的症状。
