愈發流行的“桌邊就餐”

太忙？太懶？辦公桌成了許多上班族解決午餐的地點，而各種重口味的怪味道也讓周圍的同事們叫苦不迭。

Smelly food in the office has become so prevalent that it is hampering workers’ productivity, a study has found.
如今在辦公室里經常會聞到難聞的食物氣味，研究顯示這會妨礙員工的工作效率。

The habit of eating ‘Al Desko’ has grown to such an extent that two thirds of people now eat lunch at their desks most days of the week.
在辦公桌前用餐的習慣如今非常普遍，以至于三分之二的人一周中的多數時間都在辦公桌前吃午飯。

But pungent packed lunches including oily fish, cheese and egg sandwiches are having an adverse effect on working conditions and office culture.
但刺鼻的盒飯中經常有油性魚類食物、奶酪和雞蛋三明治，對工作環境和辦公文化造成了不好的影響。

In a survey of 1,000 office workers, two out of five said they were too busy to take a proper lunch break, while over half branded colleagues who eat strong-smelling food as ‘anti-social’.
在對一千名員工開展的調查中，五分之二的受訪者說中午沒有時間好好用餐，有超過半數的受訪者說吃強烈刺激性食物的同事“反社會”。

例句：

A: Are you coming to the canteen for lunch?
午飯去食堂吃嗎？

B: No, I'm afraid I'm dining al desko today.
不，恐怕今天我就在辦公桌邊吃了。
