to the system.

好吧，这是我假后第一天上班，真的是“a shock to the system”。

A shock? Did you get a shock in the office?

触电？你在办公室被电击了？

Well,no. I mean experiencing “a sudden and unpleasant change from what you have been used to”.

哦，不是的。我的意思是经历了突然地、不好的变化，与过去不一样。

For me, it’s a change from

relaxing and doing nothing on the beach to suddenly being back in the office, sitting at my desk, working hard- with you.

于我而言，也就是突然从沙滩上放松着无所事事突然回到了办公室，坐在办公桌前，努力工作—和你一起。

That does sound like a shock.

总结：a shock to the system指的是经历了“突然而又不愉快的变化”。
