新西兰一家公司从三月初开始试行每周四天工作制，结果怎么样呢？每周有三天假期是很爽，但是五天的工作要在四天内干完也是挺有压力的。来看看员工们怎么说。 On the first long weekend of her employer’s experiment with a four-day working week, Kirsten Taylor freaked out a little bit. Like a housework hurricane, she got through mounds of clothes-washing, weeded the garden, cleaned the windows and mowed the lawn. 在公司首次试验四天工作制的第一个长周末，柯尔斯顿·泰勒感觉有点抓狂。就像经历了一场家务飓风，她洗了一大堆衣服，除了花园的杂草，擦了窗户，还修剪了草坪。 It had been lovely to spend extra time with her 21-month-old son, but by the end of the third day off she was shattered. 能够和21个月大的儿子共度更多时光本来是件很好的事，但是到第三天快结束时她感觉自己要崩溃了。 “I actually found that day really hard. I ran myself ragged,” laughs Taylor, who is a solo mother. “I hadn’t yet programmed that routine into my life. I thought: I don’t know when the next one of these is coming, I better get everything done. I don’t think I did it well, but heck it was a productive day!” 身为单身母亲的泰勒大笑着说：“事实上，我觉得第三天很难熬。我把自己累坏了。我还没有将这种长周末纳入常规生活。我在想，不知道下一个长周末会是什么时候，所以我最好把一切事情都干完。我觉得自己干得不够好，但这一天还真是非常高效！” |
