在家上班

你今天还去办公室上班吗？

Are you still going to the office to work today?

对，我还是每天去办公室上班。你不是已经在家上班了吗？

Yeah, I still go to the office every day. Aren't you already working from home?

是，我从上个月开始在家上班，不用坐车去公司，方便了很多。

Right, I've been working from home since last month. I don't have to take the bus to the company anymore, it's a lot more convenient.

我也觉得不用去办公室很方便，但是我更喜欢每天见到同事。

I agree not going to the office would be convenient, but I like seeing colleagues every day more.

我明白你的意思。但对我来说，最大的问题是工作的时间和休息的时间分不开。

I understand what you mean. But for me, the biggest problem is that work time and rest time can't be pulled apart.

怎么说？

What do you mean?

在办公室上班的时候，工作的时间和休息的时间是分开的，下班就是下班。但是在家上班，工作和休息都在同一个地方，我常常忘了休息，一直在工作。

When I worked in the office, work time and rest time were separate, off work meant off work. But working from home, work and rest happen in the same place, and I often forget to rest and just keep working.

这样不好，你应该给自己定一个休息的时间，把工作和休息分开。

That's not good. You should set yourself a fixed rest time and keep work and rest separate.

我也这样想，但是做这件事不容易。而且我很想跟同事一起吃午饭的时候，可以说说话。

I think so too, but it's not easy to actually do. And I really miss being able to chat during lunch with colleagues.

一个人在家吃饭，是有点想他们吧。

Eating alone at home, I guess you must miss them a bit.

对，办公室里人多，但是跟同事在一起上班，我觉得很不一样。

Yeah, the office is crowded, but working together with colleagues feels really different.

所以你觉得，工作和休息一定要分开，对不对？

So you think work and rest absolutely have to be kept separate, right?

对，我觉得两个都有好的地方，也都有不好的地方。你觉得呢？如果可以选，你会选在家上班，还是去办公室上班？

Right, I think both have their good points and their bad points. What do you think? If you could choose, would you choose to work from home, or go to the office?
