每个职场人办公桌上要有的8样东西

2013-11-23来源:lifehack
5. Box of tissues
一盒纸巾

Have you ever had a sneeze come on when there were no tissues in site, and then found yourself with a handful of icky snot? This is an embarrassing public moment that makes even the best of us want to disappear. Spare yourself the awkwardness this fall and winter by stowing a box of tissues under your desk. Trust me—you’ll be glad you did!
有没有过打喷嚏时身边没纸巾,结果喷得一手鼻涕?这在公共场合绝对尴尬十足,谁都恨不得找个地缝钻下去。今年秋冬,在办公桌上放一盒纸巾,远离这种尴尬吧。相信我,这么做绝对没错!

6. Framed photos
镶框相片

Just because your loved ones aren’t with you doesn’t mean you can’t think about them. Remembering that there is a spouse/children/dog/cat/fish/snake at home that loves us makes work days more bearable. If your’e feeling stressed out, all you have to do is look at a photo of a loved one and be happy you get to see them soon. Also, an undecorated desk is a boring desk (and who wants to be boring?).
亲人不在身边并不表示你不能想念他们。工作时想想亲人孩子或养的猫狗鱼蛇,会减压不少。当你紧张疲倦时,只要看看照片里的至亲至爱,想想不久就能见面,就能舒缓很多。如果办公桌光秃秃的,那也太乏味了吧?谁会去喜欢乏味呢?

7. Gum or breath mint
口香糖或薄荷喷雾

Your tuna sandwich tastes a lot better than it smells. If you work in an office where you’re chatting with people in close proximity on a regular basis, you’d be well-advised to keep some minty gum or breath mints on hand.
呃,你的金枪鱼三明治吃起来还不错,就是太难闻了……如果工作常常需要近距离和同事沟通,建议你最好备一些薄荷口香糖或清新口气喷雾。

8. Personal hygiene/body care products
个人卫生/护肤用品

You might want to consider keeping some deodorant, mouthwash, and other personal care products around in case you find yourself running straight to a date after work so you can touch up if necessary. Ladies: I’m not going to discuss feminine products in detail because you know what I’m talking about, so let’s just say that keeping them on hand might be a good idea for obvious reasons as well.
或许你需要在办公室放些除臭剂、漱口水或其他个人护理用品,这样万一下了班后赶约会还能应付两下。女士们:我这里不想细说某些女性用品,知道我指的是什么吧?在办公室备上一些绝对是明智之举呵!
