描述職場百態(tài)的英語
都說學(xué)校是個小社會，但是進(jìn)入職場以后，你才發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來林子大了，真的什么鳥都有!下面列舉的一些描述職場百態(tài)的英語，他們多數(shù)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。
工作對于他們來說，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(yè)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么好看，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(xù)投入大量時間和精力后，又無暇進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)和“充電”，從而無法在職場再產(chǎn)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(dāng)中, 把上學(xué)時學(xué)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(xué)習(xí)的規(guī)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(lǐng)。他們的辦公桌永遠(yuǎn)都堆滿了文件，他們的眼睛整天都盯著電腦屏幕，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，他們桌上成堆的文件只是一些早該被扔進(jìn)廢紙簍的東西。一刻不離電腦屏幕?最常見的把戲就是把正在看的小說粘貼到一個工作文檔里。事實上，還有很多你還不知道的類似招數(shù)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.
“軟面行李箱”指才能出眾、能同時處理多項任務(wù)的員工通常會接手一個又一個任務(wù)，就像軟面行李箱一樣可以拓展出空間來裝更多的東西。
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)指下班后還賴在辦公室不走的人們，這些人多數(shù)都在國內(nèi)一線城市生活。他們當(dāng)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，寧愿在辦公室消磨時間。
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”的言行起初可能并不會對你造成傷害，但其中的冒犯之意是顯而易見的，而且會讓你處于弱勢地位。
7. Queen bee syndrome
蜂王綜合征
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.
蜂王綜合征一詞最初由斯泰恩斯、賈亞拉特納和塔佛瑞斯在1973年定義，指處于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位的女性對女下屬更為嚴(yán)苛。
研究人員猜測，蜂王綜合征可能是在各自領(lǐng)域取得較高職場地位的女性用以抵抗她們所處文化中任何形式性別歧視的武器?；加蟹渫蹙C合征的女性通過阻止同性下屬升遷這樣的職場文化惡習(xí)來使自己更好地融入同一級別的男同事當(dāng)中。

在美國橄欖球運動中，四分衛(wèi)是個很重要的位置，主要是給其他隊員提供指導(dǎo)。這里的“辦公室四分衛(wèi)”就是在辦公室里給別的員工發(fā)號施令的人。
9. Desk potato
桌邊神游族
Desk potato is someone who sits at a desk all day long but gets little to nothing done -- usually because of websurfing or playing computer games. The term is derived from couch potato.
桌邊神游族指整天坐在書桌邊，卻不見有任何事情完成的人，通常都是因為他們成天都在上網(wǎng)閑逛或玩游戲。Desk potato這個說法來源于couch potato(電視迷、成天坐在沙發(fā)上無所事事的人)。

The work spouse is a potentially key relationship when one's actual spouse or boy/girlfriend is not able to be there.
工作配偶指與自己有親密合作關(guān)系的異性同事，兩人之間互有的信任、忠誠、共同的經(jīng)歷以及某種程度的坦誠等都與婚姻關(guān)系中的夫妻類似。在現(xiàn)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對象。
