度假时工作
Workation
Hello and welcome to The English We Speak.
大家好，欢迎来到BBC《地道英语》。
I'm Feifei.
我是菲菲。
And I'm Roy!
我是罗伊！
I hear you're on holiday next week!
我听说你下周要去度假！
I bet you're really excited about a lovely holiday and not having to think about work for a whole week!
我敢打赌，你真的很兴奋，一个美好的假期，而且不必考虑整个星期的工作！
Well, I'm going to the beach,
好吧，我要去海滩，
but I'll still be working - I'm going on a workation.
但我还会继续工作，我要去过一个“workation”。
Oh right, well I feel like I've been on a workation since March to be honest.
哦，好吧，说实话，我觉得我从三月起就一直在过“workation”。
Because I haven't been to the office in months.
因为我好几个月没去过办公室了。
No, Roy. You've been working from home.
不是的，罗伊。你一直在家工作。
A workation involves you going somewhere where you might go on holiday,
“workation”是指你到了可能去度假的地方，
like a beach, but working your normal routine.
比如海滩，但做你正常的工作。
Ahh that makes a lot of sense.
啊，这很有道理。
It's a portmanteau, or combination of two words -work and vacation.
这是个复合词，或者两个词的组合：工作和假期。
So, that means you'll be working as normal then?
那就意味着你可以正常工作了？
Yes, of course.
是的，当然。
Which means that there will be no office parties while I'm away.
这意味着我不在的时候不会有办公室派对。
Right, so I guess that means I should send an email to cancel the office Olympics while we listen to some examples.
是的，所以我想这意味着我应该发一封电子邮件取消办公室奥运会，这时候让我们听几个例句。
She spent the day working from the hotel bar and at night she visited the local area.
她在旅馆的酒吧里工作了一天，晚上她在当地游览了一番。
She really enjoyed her workation.
她真的很喜欢她的工作旅行。
I'm going on workation next week to be closer to nature while I work.
我下周要过一个工作旅行，以便在工作时更接近自然。
Hopefully the internet will be good.
希望网络正常。
My workation didn't go as planned as it rained the whole time I was away.
我的工作旅行没有按计划进行，因为我离开的时候一直在下雨。
I didn't manage to see or do anything fun.
我没能看到或做任何有趣的事情。
This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English,
欢迎收听BBC《地道英语》，
and we're talking about the expression 'workation'.
我们说的是“工作”这个词。
'Workation' is a combination of the words 'work' and 'vacation' and it refers to a holiday where you go to another location but continue working as normal.
它是“工作”和“假期”这两个词的组合，它指的是你去另一个地方度假，但继续正常工作。
Yes, so you could go somewhere like a beach,
是的，所以你可以去像海滩这样的地方，
skiing resort or tourist area while working.
比如海滩、滑雪胜地或旅游区，同时也进行工作。
You can even go to another country on your workation if your company permits it.
如果公司允许，你甚至可以去另一个国家工作。
So, you were planning to hold the office Olympic games while you thought I wasn't working?
所以，你打算在我不工作的时候举办办公室奥运会？
No, I was only joking - we would never hold any games or parties without you!
不，我只是开玩笑，没有你我们永远不会举行任何游戏或聚会！
Well, good - because I bring the fun by winning all the games!
很好，因为我赢了所有的比赛，也带来了乐趣！
Right, I'm going to get ready to go on my workation - a week by the beach and I'll need my sunglasses and swimwear.
好的，我准备去进行工作旅行了，在海滩上呆一个星期，我将需要我的太阳镜和泳装。
I can't wait to go to Brighton beach!
我迫不及待要去布莱顿海滩了！
You're going to Brighton - in the south of the UK - in February?
2月份你要去英国南部的布莱顿吗？
Well, good luck finding the Sun - You should probably take a coat on your workation.
好吧，祝你能找到太阳，你应该在工作旅行时穿件外套。
OK Roy, bye!
好的，罗伊。再见！
Bye!
再见！
