討論辦公設(shè)備　Discussing Office Equipment

辦公設(shè)備是你工作的忠誠伙伴。熟練掌握不同辦公用品的名稱和使用方法，對于提高工作效率有著直接的影響。讓我們一起來認(rèn)識一下這些與你的工作息息相關(guān)的工具吧。

辦公室格局

好的辦公室格局能使辦公者精力集中（concentrate）。辦公桌上的用品一應(yīng)俱全。電話（telephone）和傳真（fax machine）在辦公桌的右邊，電腦在桌的中央，顯示器（monitor）正對著工作者，辦公座椅舒適（comfortable office chair）。一個柜子抽屜（cabinet drawers）里面有許多稿紙，另外一個抽屜里有訂書機和訂書針、曲別針、熒光筆、筆和橡皮（a stapler and staples, paper clips, highlighters, pens and erasers）等。房間內(nèi)有舒適的沙發(fā)和扶手椅（armchair），在沙發(fā)的前面可以擺放一個沙發(fā)桌，放些行業(yè)雜志（industry magazines）或飲品。

與電腦連接的設(shè)備

電腦連接打印機（printer）。打印機有不同的類別，大部分辦公室選用的是噴墨式打印機（ink jet printer）或者激光打印機（laser printer）。電腦也可以和掃描儀（scanner）相連，掃描儀可以將文檔和圖像轉(zhuǎn)化為數(shù)據(jù)（digital data）。大部分辦公室電腦都連接互聯(lián)網(wǎng)（Internet）。你的電腦可以連接網(wǎng)絡(luò)線，或者通過外置調(diào)制解調(diào)器（external modem）和綜合業(yè)務(wù)數(shù)字網(wǎng)網(wǎng)卡（ISDN card）來連接互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。在比較大的辦公室，各臺計算機可以通過計算機網(wǎng)（computer network）相互連接。

總結(jié)

“工欲善其事，必先利其器。”現(xiàn)代辦公設(shè)備琳瑯滿目、種類繁多，但都是快節(jié)奏的辦公所需要的。在商場如戰(zhàn)場的緊張工作中，能對所有的辦公設(shè)備都得心應(yīng)手，那一定會提高效率。
