遠程辦公 Telecommuting
The spread of telecommuting is sure to have far-reaching effects on society. By itself, telecommuting refers to office workers spending much of their time working from home and using electronic technologies to communicate with their employers.
遠程辦公的普及必將對社會產生深遠的影響。遠程辦公本身就是指那些在家里工作、使用電子技術與雇主交流的人。
The most obvious changes may be apparent in the“normal”offices of companies, governments and other organizations. If even half the working week is spent telecommuting from home, then we would initially expect many empty desks in the office. 最明顯的變化可能出現在公司、政府和其他組織的“傳統”辦公室里。如果每周有一半的工作時間都是在家辦公，那么我們最初預計會有很多空桌子。
For the inpidual office worker, telecommuting would mean spending more time at home. For a parent with young children, this may be a blessing. Moreover, many telecommuters would be able to work the hours they wished.
對于個體上班族來說，遠程辦公意味著在家里花更多的時間。對于有孩子的父母來說，這可能是一種祝福。此外，許多遠程工作者也可以在他們希望的時間工作。
The structure of urban life is also likely to be affected by telecommuting. We would expect to see fewer cars on the road during peak hours and, eventually, a smaller concentration of offices in cities' central business districts.
城市生活的結構也可能受到遠程辦公的影響。我們預計在高峰時段會有更少的汽車上路，最終，在城市中心區會有更少的人聚集在一起。
In sum, telecommuting will serve not only to change the way we work but also the way we live.
總之，遠程辦公不僅會改變我們的工作方式，還會改變我們的生活方式。
