3. The job was just a one-off.
（Ｘ）這工作中斷了。
（Ｏ）這只是一次性工作。
再來學一個好用的字one-off，在職場上經常用到，卻不容易想起的英文字。One-off是指一次性，非常態性的活動。例如一次性的買賣，是one-off deal；一次性的工作，是one-off job；一次性的付款叫one-off payment。來看幾個例句，熟悉用法：
It was just a one-off job. I don't think there will be any more.
這只是一次性的工作，我想之後應該沒有了。Will you be doing more talks in the future or was that just a one-off?
你以後還要作多次的講話還是只此一次？They gave him a one-off payment to compensate for the extra hours that he had to work.
他們支付給他一次性的費用，作為他加班的補償。
