世界节假日博览 第3期:清扫桌子日
Are you a messy or tidy person? Is your desk a mountain of books and paper or is it a dust-free zone? January 14th, Clean Off Your Desk Day, is for you if your desk looks like a bomb has hit it.This is also a day for you to clean your computer desktop too. Most of us have a lot of clutter on our desktops and most of it needs to be filed away somewhere.Clean Off Your Desk Day is a good way of starting the year as you mean to go on. A tidy desk means you are organized. You won’t have to spend hours looking for things under piles of paper. Yours tapler and hole punch will be close at hand. You’ll have somewhere safe to put your coffee mug; a place where it isn’t in danger of tipping over and making your documents a soggy brown mess.
你是一个爱干净的人，还是一个邋遢的人?你的书桌上是堆成山的书和纸张，还是一尘不染? 一月十四日是清扫桌子日，如果你的书桌正好乱成一团，那这个节日正好就是为你准备的。大多数人的桌子都是杂乱无章的，很多东西都需要重新规整一下。为了更好的前行，用清扫桌子日来开始新的一年再好不过了。 整洁的桌子就意味着这你是个做事有条理的人。你再也不需要花大把时间在堆积满山的纸张中寻找东西。你的订书器和打孔机随时听候召唤。你的咖啡杯将有一个安全的地方，放在这个地方的杯子没有被碰倒的危险，文件也不会再留下一大片棕色印记。
Why do some people have such messy desks?Is it a sign of a creative mind, an overworked person, or simply laziness? It may be a clue to your childhood. If your parents were organized and tidy, you are more likelyto be too. If you took pride in tidying your room as a child, you will do the same with your desk as an adult. For many people, a tidy desk makes them feel good. They can sit down and get to work straight away. A well-organized computer desktop is the same. The person can navigate his or her way very quickly to any document they want. It only takes two minutes at the end of the day to tidy up and put things in the right place. Make use of your wastepaper basket (that’s trash can for Americans). Do that, and life will be more simple.
为什么人们的桌子会那么乱呢?这是不是表明你是一个想象力丰富的人，还是说你是一个工作很忙的人，还是仅仅表明你非常懒惰? 我们能够从童年生活中有所发现。如果你的父母是整洁、有条理的人，那么你很有可能也会是这样的人。孩童时，如果你会为桌子整理得干净整洁而骄傲，那么当你成人以后，你也会做同样的事情。对于许多人来说，干净的桌子让他们感觉舒服。他们可以马上进入工作状态。一个整洁的电脑桌也是如此。人们可以很容易地寻找到他们所需要的任何文件。你只需在最后花费2分钟的时间来清洁你的桌子，并把文件放回到正确的位置。利用好你的废纸篓。这样做，你的生活将变得更加容易。
