中国語日記翻訳【30】

The end of the year is always busy, but the end-of-year party is fast approaching. Last year, I prepared a quiz (browser game) as a performance, but the server I rented for testing couldn’t handle access from more than 10 people, and it went down, so I had to give the quiz verbally. This time, I intend to make up for this failure.

年底总是特别忙，不过年终聚会已经越来越近了。
去年我为了表演准备了一个测验游戏（浏览器游戏），但用于测试的服务器连十几个人同时访问都撑不住，结果直接宕机了，最后只能靠口头出题来进行测验。
这次我打算一雪前耻，弥补去年的失败。
