积压 jīyā buildup, backlog
开端 kāiduān beginning, start
担待 dāndài to bear, to tolerate
提不上劲儿 tíbushàng jìnr to be unable to muster the energy
大家注意了！今天是节后第一天上班，大家手上肯定积压了一大堆的邮件。争取下班前都处理完啊。

Everyone, pay attention! This is the first day of work after the holiday. Surely your hands are all stuffed with mail. Do your best to get it all dealt with before going home today.
老板，不会吧？第一天上班就这么赶？
lǎobǎn ，bùhuì ba ？dì yī tiān shàngbān jiù zhème gǎn ？
Boss, really? We have catch up like this on the first day back?
我也没办法。是大老板的吩咐，说新年希望有个好的开端。我也只能照做，大家多担待担待。晚上我请客。

There's nothing I can do. It's at the instruction of the big boss. He said he hoped the new year could get off to a good start - so, that's all I can do. Everyone will just have to bear with me. Tonight's on me.
哎！我现在是做什么都提不上劲儿，集中不了精神，跟瘟鸡没两样。
āi ！wǒ xiànzài shì zuò shénme dōu tíbushàng jìnr ，jízhōng buliǎo jīngshén ，gēn wēnjī méiliǎngyàng 。
Agh! I can't find the energy to do anything. I can't keep my mind focused. I'm as tired as a chicken with the plague.
