小伙伴们都已经back to your work(复工)了,那今天就来聊一聊——在家办公。


2020 is an interesting year so far.


* 在英语中,“interesting”的含义是“有意思”,可以是褒义,也可以是贬义,要看语气。

* 语气不太积极时,可理解成“呵呵”


在家办公:


Working at home 

Working from home?


远程办公:


Working remotely

Working from home often gives us really lofty images “在家办公”四个字看起来很“高大上”


* lofty 高大上的

* images: 图片


In An Ideal World 完美世界里的“在家办公”:

 * wake up feeling refreshed 精神抖擞地醒来

* catch a bus (不用)赶公交

* beat traffic (不用)应付堵车

* the hustle and bustle of the city 城市的喧嚣。

* be isolated from the hustle and bustle 远离喧嚣

* It’s freeing 时间自由

* tidy your home 打扫房间

* a home-brewed iced Americano 捧一杯自制的冰美式咖啡

* send out some emails 然后再发几封邮件

 aspire to “be your own boss.”  渴望自己做自己的老板


* Aspire  立志 渴望

* Be your own boss 自己做老板

Many of us have this experience now现在我们都有这样的体验了。

So那么,


--- did your expectations meet reality? 现实满足你的期望了吗?

*  expectation 期望

* reality 现实

* meet 达到 满足


In The Real World 现实世界里的“在家办公”:

Is it as freeing as you thought? 像你想的那样自由了吗?

Are you as independent as you thought?   像想象中那样无拘无束吗?

Are you more efficient? 效率更高了吗?

一步到岗: being a step away from the workplace

* A step away 一步远

* workplace 工作位

睁眼到岗: open your eyes and find yourself bombarded with work

* bombard 轰炸

* assignment 任务

所有的时间都是工作时间: all your time is spent working

连白开水都来不及喝: leaving no time to even drink your water

Leave no time : 留不下时间

更不用说读书了: let alone finish a book. 

* Let alone 更不用说


从大家的996到一个人的007:


* 996工作模式:   the 996 style of working 

* 007 工作模式:working constantly for 24 hours, seven days a week.

所谓的“躺着挣钱”,只是玩笑。就是Jack Ma(马云)也是working really hard!!


* 躺着挣钱 千万不要翻译成: make money lying down (会给人不好的联想)

* weird looks 怪异的眼神

* “躺赚”可以这样说: make money without getting out of bed.


还有一种情况就是:躺着躺着,结果公司没了。

* the grave reality: 严峻的现实

* many businesses cannot operate in this way 很多行业没法这样操作

* The company goes bankrupt.  公司破产了


你的在家时光是什么样子的?


* Couch potato (沙发上的土豆):电视迷

* give yourself a break: 让自己休息一下

* Aimless: 没目标的

* tunnel vision 隧道视野


当人只关注一件事情的时候,就会容易变成tunnel(隧道)vision(视野)


所以还是要尽力自律:

* Be positive 积极一些

* Change your focus 换换注意力

* 考虑一下 How do you spend a productive day indoors 如何在家提高生产力


所以,请留言告诉我们:


你喜欢在家办公吗? Do you like working from home? 

And why? 为什么呢?
