重点讲一下1 your co-workers have been gossiping less as of late
2and that shuold have the old boss worried
3 water cooler chit-chat
4 .the decline may be indicative of a pick-up in the larger economy
5 the reported boost in gossip
近来你的同事们(工作时)闲聊的时间在减少.这会使你原来的老板感到担心.多数(63%)员工说上班时八卦同僚是司空见惯的事.不过这个比例已比四年前低了.那时有近85%的公司这么说.这个比列的下降可能意味着经济的整体回升.之所以这么说,更是因为在以往经济形势下滑时,有关缩编裁员的八卦谣言就会增加.
1.your co-workers have been gossiping less as of late里的your co-workers是泛指同事.不一定是你自己的同事.这里的gossip是指上班时的,往往与工作无直接关系的有关的闲话.as of late是最近的意思.
2.and that should have the old bossworried你的(当然也是泛指)旧老板之所以应该担心,是因为调查显示同事间的闲聊会使关系更好,进而提高工作效率(但这段里没有提到).
3.watercooler chit-chat.water cooler 是制冷水机.通常在办公室附近都有.这是一个习惯表达法,意思就是在班儿上的闲聊.
4.the decline may be indicative of a pick-up in the larger economy.larger economy就是(全国乃至全球)整体经济.pick-up是上升.经济回升,裁员的可能性降低.员工担心程度也会降低.也就没必要一天到晚总讲这些事儿了.
5.the reported boost in gossip报道里讲的闲聊时间(程度)增加.
