英文原文
Passage 3
短文3
At the Dreamery, a business in Manhattan, naps are for sale. A 45-minute session in a darkened enclosure with peace and quiet costs 25.To be clear, this institution is no hotel. This is a nap joint. It sells the idea of the nap as much as the nap itself.Is a nap worth $25? The answer is obviously yes here.
在曼哈頓的一家名為Dreamery的商店里,你可以購買小憩時光。在黑暗安靜的小隔間里度過45分鐘的小憩時光,收費25美元。需要明確的是,這家機構(gòu)不是酒店,而是一家提供小憩服務(wù)的場所。它售賣小憩時光的概念,也售賣小憩時光本身。小憩時光是否值25美元?這里的答案是顯而易見的。
At this point in the argument, it's traditional for me to bring up all the studies that show the benefits of napping. But do you really need experts to tell you that? Just look at the world around you at 2:30 in the afternoon. I've been working from home for more than 10 years now, and the quality and quantity of work I can do emerges directly from my ability to concentrate.
在這個論點中,我通常會提及所有關(guān)于小憩益處的研究。但你真的需要專家來告訴你這些嗎?看看下午2:30你周圍的世界吧。我已經(jīng)在家工作超過10年了,我能完成的工作的質(zhì)量和數(shù)量直接取決于我的專注力。
I don't understand how people have creative careers without napping. Every day at about 1 p.m., everyone faces the same choice: sleep until 2 p.m. and then work until 5, or daydream and drift around social media and attend 10 pointless meetings until 7 p.m. The friends I have who still work in offices inform me their bosses insist that they take the second option, and that napping is associated with laziness.
我不明白沒有小憩的人是如何從事創(chuàng)造性職業(yè)的。每天下午1點左右,每個人都面臨著同樣的選擇:睡到下午2點,然后工作到5點;或者做白日夢,在社交媒體上閑逛,參加10個毫無意義的會議,直到晚上7點。我那些在辦公室工作的朋友告訴我,他們的老板堅持要他們選擇第二種方式,并且小憩與懶惰有關(guān)。
I genuinely find it odd, for if you nap properly, it's like waking up from a full night's sleep and you can double your days' worth of concentration.
我真的覺得這很奇怪。因為如果你好好地小憩一下,就會像是從整晚的睡眠中醒來一樣,你的專注力會加倍。
