歌曲:Maybe Something's Wrong -Sara Jackson-Holman
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?

2 Types of Sentences:
两种类型的句子
passive sentence and active sentence
弱势句与强势句
Always try to use active rather than passive sentences.
尽力去使用强势句而不是弱势句。
Passive merely indicates that something is something.
我们谈论的passive sentence并不是狭义上的被动句,而是陈述“什么是什么”的句子,这些带有be(is /am/ are)。
Passive Sentence VS Active Sentence
Two Weaknesses of the Passive Sentence
1.It is .
2.And its structure prevents you from adding details.
passive sentence对增加句子的细节有限制。
While active sentences utilizes a verb that adds details or meaning to the sentence.
而active sentence会使用动词给句子增加细节或意义。
A verb can make a sentence colourful.
动词的使用会使句子更加丰富多彩。
One Important Policy一个重要的原则
SHOW ! DON’ T TELL !
展示而不是讲述!(拿出来!别说话!)
Example 1:
Michael is a teacher. (passive sentence)
Micheal teaches at ASeat . (active sentence)
2 benefits of the second sentence:
1.From the sentence, we can see a painting that Micheal is teaching.
2.We can know that Micheal is a teacher.
Example 2:
Susan is tired. (passive sentence)
Susan almost fell asleep. (active sentence)
Susan almost fell asleep due to lethargy. (add more details)
Example 3:
She is nice. (passive sentence)
She helps elders in nursery. (active sentence)
She assists elders in nursery. (more specific)
She converses with elders in nursery.(more details)
Example 4:
The apple is good. (passive sentence)
The apple tastes good. (active sentence)
The apple is healthy. (more specific)
We had better tell the reason why the apple is good and in what aspect the apple is good.
最好说出苹果为什么好,在哪一方面(aspect)好。
Example 5:
赞美一个boy帅怎么说?
He is handsome.(passive sentence) 这句子简直弱!爆!了!
His tall nose glistens under the sun, and his large eyes charms women in the street.
He bites his lips shaped like juicy cherry.
