Welcome to the New Home Office,The Wall Street Journal,June 21st,2013
歡迎來到新家庭辦公室，華爾街日報，2013年6月21日
Work has invaded the rest of life even more thoroughly in the age of 24/7 connectivity，but that doesn't mean people like spending their evenings sitting at bleak desks in isolating home offices.
從24歲或27歲起，工作就開始進入日常生活，甚至完全與生活分不開了，但這并不意味著，人們喜歡大晚上的坐在孤零零的家庭辦公室暗淡的桌子旁邊辦公。
As the furniture industry has discovered，they'd prefer to work on soul-restoring sofas and cozy chaises specifically designed for mobile computing，
人們喜歡坐在帶有為筆記本電腦特制的舒適的沙發上工作，
in laid-back positions，integrated into family life—admittedly preoccupied， but in the general vicinity of their children，however madcap those offspring may be.
坐在舒適的沙發上，盡管旁邊有不太懂事的子女，也能一邊工作，一邊投入家庭生活。
"Even people who have home offices aren't using them anymore，" said Karin Gintz， vice president of global marketing for Coalesse，one of several companies designing work-at-home furniture for the new Zeitgeist.
“即使那些有家庭辦公室的人不再使用它們了，在勞碌的一天結束的時候，人們最想要的是換一個辦公環境。
"The last thing people want at the end of the day is another office environment. They want to work with their family，in a space that looks and feels like home. "
他們期待在一個更像家的地方，與家人一起辦公。”Coalesse公司是新潮家庭辦公家具設計公司之一，該公司的全球營銷副總裁Karin Gintz這樣說道。
The most extreme example of this new family-friendly work concept is Moroso's Bikini Island， an array of mix-and-match modules that can be arranged into a sprawling installation marooned in the center of a room.
這種新的家庭友好型工作理念的一個最極端的例子是Moroso的比基尼島。這個比基尼島是指，在房間的中心，將一系列混合搭配的模塊，組建成一個大的固定的擺設。
Family members can lounge facing a variety of directions，ostensibly communing even as they're lost in their own mostly digital obsessions， said designer Werner Aisslinger:
即使他們沉迷于各自的數字世界，每個人都可以悠閑地跟其他人交流，就像設計師Werner Aisslinger說的那樣
"The father is emailing. The mother is meditating. The kids are downloading files，playing online games or texting.
“爸爸在發郵件，媽媽在沉思，孩子們正在下載文件，玩網絡游戲或者發短信。
Everyone can find a corner on the island to do whatever he wants，but there's still a feeling of trying to be connected to others. "
每個人都可以在島上找到一個角落，做他們想做的事，但仍然可以感覺到是與家人在一起的。”
"We'll never be able to go back to a more analog world，" said Mr. Aisslinger，the mastermind of Bikini Island.
比基尼島的策劃人Aisslinger先生說:“我們永遠不可能回到一個更虛擬的世界了，
"Working at home digitally is just the reality now. Work is omnipresent.
如今在家進行數字化辦公已是事實。工作無處不在。
But，as designers， it's important to create an environment that's as positive and communicative and inspiring as possible. "
但是作為設計師，創造一種更加積極向上，更有利于溝通，更能激發人的工作環境是很重要的。”
