Because of work obligations, I've missed doctor's appointments and parent-teacher conferences and have had to travel when my kids were sick.

由于工作原因，比如没能如约带他们去看医生，没能参加他们的家长会，甚至在他们生病的时候也会出差。

But most employees just want the opportunity to do something they enjoy and balance their work obligations with other parts of their life.

但大多数雇员都希望能有机会做些他们中意的事情，同时平衡好工作职责和生活其他部分。

And then I finish by just restating my two reasons: " This is because such people can help us handle life's unexpected emergencies and can make it easier to deal with both family and work obligations."

最后，我重申了我的两个理由: “这是因为这样的人可以帮助我们处理生活中意外的紧急情况，可以让我们更轻松地处理家庭和工作责任。”
