英语听力原文:

Older staff are more productive than their younger colleagues, say researchers. More mature members of staff may be weaker and less agile than their junior counterparts, but they more than compensate with their greater experience, ability to work in teams, and success at coping when things go wrong. The researchers say: While older workers make more errors, perhaps due to declining physical attributes, they hardly make any severe errors, perhaps due to more experience. It is experience that prevents severe errors.

有专家经过研究发现:公司的老员工比年轻一辈,特别是新一代的大学生更有竞争力。虽然他们相对年轻的同业者来说,可能身体不够强健,思维不够敏捷,但是他们经验更丰富,团队合作能力更强,处理危机的能力也更强。专家总结:因为年龄的原因,年纪越大,生理功能下降,老员工有可能会犯很多小错误;但是另一方面,由于老员工拥有更多的经验,他们不会犯许多大的、严重的错误。

The scientists who studied production lines at a Mercedes-Benz truck factory in southern Germany also found that younger, more highly educated workers were less productive than those who had fewer qualifications — perhaps because the educated workers got bored more easily. The researchers, from the University of Mannheim, said their findings debunked the idea that older workers should be made redundant to boost productivity.

在德国 南部梅赛德斯·奔驰工厂生产线的科学家发现,年轻、教育水平更高的工作比那些证书拿得少的员工(老员工)生产效率要低很多。科学家分析,教育程度高的年轻人在工作中容易感觉无聊,不懂得沉下心去研究工作。来自Mannheim大学的研究员称,这项研究彻底颠覆了——老员工才对工作产生懈怠感觉的理论。
