职场英语：简易7招帮助白领告别压力积累热情

踏入职场，开始朝九晚五的生活，日复一日，年复一年。在美国，83%的人反映自己频繁地感到工作压力，有来自身边同事的，来自老板的，来自工作任务本身的。如果你也是职场压力族的一员，记得你并不是一个人。但是，工作会是你数十年的伙伴，不要让积累的压力磨掉最初的热情。

Do you feel like you’re always stressed on the job? Unfortunately, you’re not alone. Some 83 percent of American workers say they often feel stressed at their jobs.

“No one wants to be seen as the slowest moving object in the solar system. You have to keep up with the Joneses—literally,” Ben Jacobson, co-founder of Conifer Research, told The Wall Street Journal.

“没有人想要太阳系里移动速度最慢物体的美名。不夸张地讲，你必须跟着攀比。” （从事公司行为与文化研究的芝加哥公司）“常青研究”的联合创始人本·雅各布森在《华尔街日报》讲道。

1. Kick Your Email Addiction

1. 从邮件中脱身

This might be hard to face, but it’s best to just tacklethe truth directly: you have an addiction and it’s your inbox. So many workers spend much of their day just playing catch-up to their emails. You might be in the middle of work when you hear the sirenbeep of a new email zooming into your inbox, and suddenly your work is halted so you can take a look.

这点也许很难做到，但最好直面真相：你上瘾了，罪魁祸首是收件箱。很多人将一天中的大多数时间都
