play martyr应该是一个隐喻的说法 Explanation: 这里的play martyr and head into work,我觉得是指有些人像“烈士”一样，一头扎进工作里的含义。有点像“鞠躬尽瘁死而后已”的感觉,是一个比较夸张而形象的用法。 |

做殉道者 一头扎进工作去 Explanation: Many people opt to play martyr and head into work when they are so sick they should stay at home instead. 很多人在家里待腻了，就选择做扮演（办公室的）“殉道者”，一头扎进工作中去。 to play martyr：也可以翻译成 做工作狂 |
