A manuscript writing cafe opened in Tokyo this March. The cafe has ten seats reserved for writers, manga artists, editors, proofreaders, and creators who want to meet their deadlines.
When entering, you have to write down your name, writing goal, and the time you plan to finish. In this cafe, you may find unlimited self-serve coffee and tea. High-speed Wi-Fi and docking ports are also available at every seat. The proprietor and staff will nag you about your deadline and word count as you wish.
The cafe is where the proprietor believes that the neighborhood will provide energy for writers’ creativity. Customers find that they usually complete their tasks in a shorter time than they expected. All you need to pay is 150 Japanese yen for the first 30 minutes and 300 Japanese yen per hour after that.
今年三月，日本東京開了一間專治拖延症的「趕稿寫作咖啡廳」。咖啡廳有十個座位，保留給努力趕上交稿期限的作家、漫畫家、編輯、校稿人員還有創作者。
進到咖啡廳時，你必須先寫下名字、寫作目標、以及預定完成的時間。在這裏，有無限量供應的咖啡和茶，可以自助拿取。每個座位上也都有高速Wi-Fi、還有筆電的擴充插座可以使用。另外，店老闆和工作人員會照你的要求，在你身邊不時叨念提醒你截稿時間，程度可以從只在結帳時關心一下寫作進度、到每過一個小時就站到背後關切你進展是否順利。
這間趕稿咖啡廳就開在街邊，店老闆相信，街上熙熙攘攘來往的人群能夠提供寫作者創作的能量。來這裡消費的顧客發現，他們通常能夠在比預期更短的時間內完成預定的工作。想到這裡寫稿，你只要付前30分鐘150元日幣、隨後每個小時300元日幣的費用即可。
關於deadline (n.) 「期限」這個字，有幾種常見的情況，用 the deadline for n. 表示「某件事的期限」，例如the deadline for applications 是「申請期限」，miss the deadline 則是「錯過期限」，而要表達達成期限時間的目標，則是說 meet the deadline 「在期限內完成」。
例句：
We will have to ask for help to meet the tight deadline.
我們得尋求支援來趕上緊迫的期限。
