从物理学的角度看,drag指物体在穿过某种流体媒介(如空气)时受到的阻力,而zero drag则是描述物体不受任何阻力的理想状态。这种零阻力的状态就像工作热情极高又没有什么个人责任负担的员工,可以长时间工作、频繁出差、有任务随叫随到。
The ideal zero-drag employee is young, unmarried and childless with no responsibilities and an eagerness to do well.
理想的零阻力员工一般都年轻、未婚、无子女负担,而且渴望将工作做好。
【办公室的"软面行李箱"】
听到有人抱怨自己工作太忙、活太多的时候,我们可能会用一句"能者多劳"来安慰他们。在英语中,我们管这类人叫做soft-sided luggage(软面行李箱),意思是说他们像这行李箱一样总有空间装更多的东西。
Soft-sided luggage refers to an employee whose talent and multi-tasking abilities allows him or her to take on assignment after assignment. They, like soft-side luggage, seemingly expand to handle the workload. Of course, they completely collapse on weekends.
"软面行李箱"指才能出众、能同时处理多项任务的员工通常会接手一个又一个任务,就像软面行李箱一样可以拓展出空间来装更多的东西。当然,这些人一到周末基本都累昏过去了。
For example: Jenny is like a soft-sided luggage in the office. She is taking most of the assignments and can always handle them properly.
