白领应急英语口语 奋斗之路29 工作压力

范例一：Feel exhausted  感到筋疲力尽

I have been very busy this year, working late, often taking work home and taking no vacation. I feel exhausted.
今天我一直都很忙，工作到很晚，经常把工作带回家做，而且没有休假。我感到筋疲力尽。

You should ask for a holiday and relax yourself for a little bit. You worked so hard.
你应该要求休假，放松一下你自己。你工作得如此刻苦。

You are right. For the past few weeks, I had no appetite and couldn’t sleep well. What’s worse my back started aching this Monday. It is time for me to take a vacation.
你说得对。过去几个星期，我没胃口，睡不好。更糟糕的是这个星期一我的背开始痛。我是时候休假了。

范例二：Handle my stress  对付压力

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your work?
有时候你会不会觉得被工作压得喘不过气来？

Of course! It is the No.1 stressor in my life. You know job stress has become a very common problem these days. So we must learn to cope with it.
当然！它是我生命中第一号压力源。你知道的，现在工作压力变得很常见。所以我们必须学会处理它。

Totally agree. What is your solution?  完全赞同。你的情况是怎样的？

Well, there are two causes of job stress. One is employee characteristic and the other is company condition. So if we want to manage job stress, both we and the companies should do something. For me, I am trying to balance work and leisure time. You know, all work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
额，有两个原因导致我的工作压力。一个是员工的性格，另一个是公司条件。所以如果我们要处理工作压力，公司和我们都应该做些什么。对我来说，我一直在努力平衡我的工作时间和闲暇时间。你知道的，只工作不娱乐使人变得迟钝。

You seem to have a very relaxed outlook.
你似乎有一种很轻松的态度。

It is necessary. Positive attitude helps to prevent stress.
那是必须的。积极的态度可以防止压力。

But I don’t think we can change our working condition. Anyway, we are not the bosses.
但是我认为我们不能改变工作条件。无论怎样，我们不是老板。

I heard some companies are providing stress management training and making changes inside them, like avoiding unrealistic deadlines and organizing relaxation activities. Our boss is a smart person. He will be learning from that if he would like to an efficient and healthy team.
我听说一些公司提供了压力管理训练，进行内部改变，像避免提出不切实际的工作期限，组织娱乐活动。我们老板是个聪明人。如果他想要一个高效、健康的团队，他会一直从中学习的。
