今天的句子:
With little to no in-person time with their managers, it’s hard to stand out and it’s harder to learn from colleagues how things are done in the company and the shortcuts to accomplishing work. The result: “a very stagnant career time and not gaining a lot of experience with others who have done the job.” This may help explain the paradox that Gen Z, the generation most comfortable with technology, is the least fond with the remote office.
思考题:
According to the text, Gen Z ______.
A. mostly prefers remote office to traditional ones
B. is not as good as their elders at smart devices
C. is reluctant to use shortcuts to complete work
D. has fewer chances to learn from senior workers
句子解析:
第一句:
With little to no in-person time with their managers, (状语) it’s hard to stand out and it’s harder to learn (形式主语+谓语+主语) from colleagues(状语) how things are done in the company (宾语) and the shortcuts to accomplishing work(宾语).
参考译文:他们几乎没有机会与经理面对面,所以很难脱颖而出,也更难向同事学习企业内的行事方式以及完成工作的捷径。
第二句:
The result(is that): “a very stagnant career time and not gaining a lot of experience(主干) with others(状语) who have done the job.(定语)”
参考译文:结果是:“一段非常停滞的职业生涯,并且没有从其他做过这项工作的人那里获得多少经验。”
第三句:
This may help explain the paradox (主干) that Gen Z,(宾语从句主语) the generation(同位语) most comfortable with technology(定语), is the least fond with the remote office(宾语从句系动词和表语).
参考译文:这或许有助于解释一个悖论,即最熟悉技术的Z世代最不喜欢远程办公。

背景:可以说,Z世代是在最为特殊的历史时期毕业并进入职场,疫情不仅影响了他们的职业选择,更是让他们其中的大多数体验了云大学、云入职和云培训。虽然与千禧一代和婴儿潮一代相比,Z世代更熟悉技术,但他们却最不喜欢远程办公。今年的一项调查显示,仅有三分之一的受访Z世代认为远程办公对他们来说很重要,而千禧一代则有二分之一,婴儿潮一代62%。原因很简单,与有经验的前辈及有话语权的管理者面对面沟通对于年轻人的职业起步至关重要,而对于工作已经驾轻就熟的老资历来说,去不去办公室影响不大,远程还能节省时间和提升效率。Z世代面临的窘境是,即使他们穿着光鲜地跑去坐班,也会发现办公室只有他们几个怯生生的面孔。
