How do I ask my chatty co-workers to shut up?

我该如何要求我健谈的同事闭嘴?

I work in a large office with the dreaded open-seating plan. Several co-workers regularly eat lunch at their desks and socialize as though they’re at a restaurant. The noise levels, personal conversations and overall chatter is distracting to those of us who are continuing to do our work. Would it be appropriate to ask them to consider dining together elsewhere? Isn’t the whole point of eating lunch at your desk to be productive and to get more work done?

我在一间大办公室里工作,办公室里的开放式座位设计令人生畏。一些同事经常在办公桌前吃午餐,就像在餐厅一样进行社交活动。噪音水平、个人谈话和整体喋喋不休让我们这些继续工作的人分心。请他们考虑在别的地方一起吃饭合适吗?在办公桌上吃午餐不是为了提高效率,完成更多的工作吗?

我该如何要求我健谈的同事闭嘴?

I admire your work ethic. Eating lunch at your desk to get more work done may be necessary from time to time, but as a regular practice, it will be better, healthier and more productive in the long run for everyone to take a little break midday. And, maybe, consider joining in with your colleagues once in a while. It makes it easier for you to influence them to take it elsewhere when you can’t join in. Otherwise, you run the risk of being “that person” — the one who never socializes and others consider a bit of a curmudgeon. But if that crowd just isn’t your scene, you can politely and professionally ask if they can take their conversation elsewhere, explaining that you have a lot of work to do, and it is difficult to concentrate.

我钦佩你的职业道德。有时需要在办公桌上吃午饭来完成更多的工作,但作为一种常规做法,从长远来看,每个人在中午休息一下会更好、更健康、更有效率。也许,可以考虑偶尔和你的同事一起加入。当你不能加入的时候,你更容易影响他们把它带到别处去。否则,你就有可能成为“那个人”——一个从不社交的人,而其他人则认为你有点乖戾。但如果你不喜欢这群人,你可以礼貌而专业地问他们是否可以把谈话转移到别处,解释说你有很多工作要做,很难集中注意力。

I work side-by-side with my buddy as interns at the same company. I was just notified that I was invited back next year, and he wasn’t. We had made plans to travel to the same city again next summer. He thinks I should turn it down or put in a good word for him to try to get them to reconsider. What do you think?

我和我的朋友在同一家公司实习,并肩工作。我刚接到通知说我明年会被邀请回来,但他没有。我们计划明年夏天再去同一个城市旅游。他认为我应该拒绝,或者为他美言几句,让他们重新考虑。你怎么看?

我该如何要求我健谈的同事闭嘴?

I think your buddy isn’t being a good buddy if he’s expecting you to turn down an internship just because he didn’t get invited back. What kind of friend expects that? You accept or reject the offer based on what’s in your best interest, not his. If you have an opportunity to put in a good word, there’s no harm in that, but I doubt it’s going to do anything. If it’s more important for you guys to be the bros version of Thelma and Louise, well then, there’s your answer, but you’re not being a bad friend if you want the job and take it.

我想如果你的朋友只是因为没有被邀请回来就希望你也拒绝实习,那他就不是一个好朋友。什么样的朋友会期望这样?你接受或拒绝这份工作是基于你的最大利益,而不是他的利益。如果你有机会说句好话,那没有什么坏处,但我怀疑它会起什么作用。如果你们更重要的是成为兄弟版的《末路狂花》(Thelma and Louise),那么,这就是你们的答案,但如果你想要这份工作并接受它,你就不是一个坏朋友。
