How do you like your new flexible work in arrangement? Do you enjoy working from home?
你覺得最近的彈性工作制怎么樣?你喜歡在家工作嗎?
Yes and no, I find an isolation challenging at times, apart from my mother, not too many people I know, have time for phone chat during working hour. I tried the library but found I wasn't really keen on working there.
喜歡也不喜歡。有時我會覺得隔離很難忍受,除了我母親,我認(rèn)識的人當(dāng)中,工作時間段還能抽出時間聊天的人并不多。我試過去圖書館工作,但發(fā)現(xiàn)我并不太喜歡在那里工作。
No, neither would I. I find the library a bit too quiet. I'd lack inspiration or stimulation, which would be counter-productive to getting a lot of work done.
我也不喜歡。我覺得圖書館有點(diǎn)太安靜了。在那樣的環(huán)境下我會缺乏靈感或刺激,這對完成大量工作并不能起到正面作用。
I found the same thing. So, lately, I've been going out to Cafes occasionally, I love the noise, the people, the busyness of a Café, the sense of being out in the world.
我也發(fā)現(xiàn)了。所以,最近,我偶爾會去咖啡廳,我喜歡那里的熱鬧,喜歡那里的人,喜歡咖啡廳忙碌的感覺,也喜歡身在外面的感覺。
Coffee shops seem to have affectively become office spaces for so many people in this digital age. Though I'm not sure how Cafe owners feel about it - having so many people who go to that places to work rather than drink and eat.
在這個數(shù)字時代,咖啡廳似乎已經(jīng)成了很多人的辦公室。雖然咖啡廳老板對此怎么想——那么多人去自己店里工作而不是去吃喝——我并不是很清楚。
Yes, some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much. The most annoying one for Cafe owners must truly be those, usually only two of them, who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.
沒錯,貌似有一些人在咖啡廳一坐就坐很久,卻什么都不消費(fèi)。對咖啡廳老板來說,最令人討厭的肯定是那種一般就兩個人,卻要用筆記本和資料獨(dú)占一張六人桌的顧客。
They should sit at a table for two, not the table for six. Some obviously stay so long, they need to plug the laptops into a power adapter. I nearly tripped over someone's computer electrical lead the other day in my local cafe.
他們應(yīng)該坐兩人桌,而不是六人桌。有些人肯定是坐得太久了,筆記本都需要充電了。前不久在我們當(dāng)?shù)氐囊患铱Х葟d里我就差點(diǎn)被某個人的筆記本充電線給絆倒了。
It's a double-edged sword, no doubt about that, for a Cafe owner. While remote workers help to keep the café full in quiet times, they can take up valuable table space and busy period.
毫無疑問,這對咖啡廳老板來說也是一把雙刃劍。雖然遠(yuǎn)程辦公的員工確實(shí)能在清靜的時間段給咖啡廳增添人氣,但他們也確實(shí)占用了寶貴的桌位和繁忙的營業(yè)時間。
