What types of friends do we need in our life？

生活中需要的朋友

A Work Pal

工作朋友

Did you know that with a full-time job, you spend at least 50% of your waking hours at work? Not only that, but you spend some more time commuting to work, thinking about work, working overtime, and furthering your career on your personal time. Depressing, isn't it?

你知道嗎？全職工作的你，在醒著的時(shí)間里，至少有50%的時(shí)間是在工作。不僅如此，你用了更多的時(shí)間在上下班的路上、思考工作的事情、加班，用個(gè)人的時(shí)間進(jìn)一步提升事業(yè)。是不是很郁悶？

Statistics show that the more isolated you are atwork, the more depressed you get. That's why it makes sense to get a work pal to chat with at the water cooler and to help you get through the week. You spend 50% of your waking hours at work, and so does your work pal. You'll find it much easier to shoot the breeze and complain about work with someone who can relate to you than eating lunch alone every day.

統(tǒng)計(jì)表明，工作的時(shí)候越孤立，你就會(huì)越抑郁。這就是為什么在接水時(shí)和同事交談能幫你度過一周。你把50%醒著的時(shí)間用在工作上，你的同事也這樣。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)比起每天自己吃午餐，和同事閑聊并抱怨一下工作要更為簡單。

Your work pal doesn't have to be your best friend outside of work. They just need to be someone you click with on some level, and if you two hit it off exceptionally well, you can always start hanging out with them outside of the office.

你的工作朋友不一定是你工作外的最好朋友。他們只是需要在一定程度上和你合拍，如果你們一見如故，那你們可以在工作之外一起閑玩。
