描述職場百態的英語

　　都說學校是個小社會，但是進入職場以後，你才發現，原來林子大了，真的什麼鳥都有!下面列舉的一些，他們多數人都以“XX族”被眾人所熟知。只是盤點，不要隨便對號入座哦!

　　1. Durian clan

　　榴蓮族

　　Durian clan refers to those ill-tempered co-workers who have been working for many years and are hard to get along with, just like the smelly fruit with thick thorny skin.

　　榴蓮族，是對職場中有一定工作資歷，但脾氣像榴蓮一樣又臭又硬，不好相處的群體的稱呼。

　　工作對於他們來說，也許早已脫離了興趣愛好，每天只是過著按部就搬的日子。如此情況下，榴蓮族們對職業的疲勞感會越來越深，對人對事，自然少了些隨和，多了些暴躁。另外，長期熬夜加班再加上歲月的痕跡，讓榴蓮族的臉色不怎麼好看，而且“職場老油條”的榴蓮族們，往往臉皮都比較厚。

　　2. Over-drained clan

　　掏空族

　　Over-drained clan refers to employees who find themselves running out of new ideas as well as enthusiasm after spending all their time and energy on day-to-day work.

　　“掏空族”指在工作中持續投入大量時間和精力後，又無暇進行學習和“充電”，從而無法在職場再產生新的想法或工作熱情的一群人。

　　為了保住工作，人們把大量的精力都投入到工作當中, 把上學時學到的知識和技能都用盡了，也沒了工作熱情。保持好工作和生活的平衡能夠使“掏空族”的生活更上一層樓，而如果有終身學習的規劃，他們就一定能夠擺脫被“掏空”的命運。

　　3. Pretend-to-be-busy tribe

　　裝忙族

　　They are invariably white-collar workers. Their desks are forever stacked with piles of documents. And they can hardly turn away from the computer screen any time of the day.It looks as if they are workaholics. Only that they are not. They just pretend to be. They are called the pretend-to-be-busy tribe.

　　他們都是白領。他們的辦公桌永遠都堆滿了檔案，他們的眼睛整天都盯著電腦螢幕，一刻都不離開。看上去他們好像都是工作狂。實際上卻不是，他們只是假裝而已。他們被稱為“裝忙族”。

　　通常情況下，他們桌上成堆的檔案只是一些早該被扔進廢紙簍的東西。一刻不離電腦螢幕?最常見的把戲就是把正在看的小說貼上到一個工作文件裡。事實上，還有很多你還不知道的類似招數呢。

　　4. Soft-sided luggage

　　軟面行李箱

　　Soft-sided luggage refers to an employee whose talent and multi-tasking abilities allows him or her to take on assignment after assignment. They, like soft-side luggage, seemingly expand to handle the workload.

　　5. Office dwellers

　　賴班族

　　Office dwellers refer to those who linger at their offices after official work hours, most of whom are in the country's first-tier cities. Some lingerers are demanded to work overtime, some choose to evade traffic congestion during peak hours and some people, mainly living alone, are not willing to go home and prefer to kill time in the office.

　　Office dwellers***賴班族***指下班後還賴在辦公室不走的人們，這些人多數都在國內一線城市生活。他們當中有些人留在辦公室是因為加班;有人是為了躲避下班高峰時段的交通擁堵;還有一些人獨自生活，下班了也不想回家，寧願在辦公室消磨時間。

　　6. Workplace bully

　　職場霸王

　　If you are often humiliated, belittled or called names by a colleague, you could be facing a workplace bully. The bully’s remarks and actions may seem harmless at first but they are meant to be offensive and to show you in a poor light.

　　如果你頻繁被某個同事羞辱、蔑視或者辱罵，你面對的可能是一個“職場霸王”。這位“霸王”的言行起初可能並不會對你造成傷害，但其中的冒犯之意是顯而易見的，而且會讓你處於弱勢地位。

　　7. Queen bee syndrome

　　蜂王綜合徵

　　Queen bee syndrome was first defined by G.L. Staines, T.E. Jayaratne, and C. Tavris in 1973. It describes a woman in a position of authority who views or treats subordinates more critically if they are female.

　　工作配偶指與自己有親密合作關係的異性同事，兩人之間互有的信任、忠誠、共同的經歷以及某種程度的坦誠等都與婚姻關係中的夫妻類似。在現實生活中的配偶或男/女朋友不能在身邊時，工作配偶就會成為主要的依靠物件。
