世界節(jié)假日博覽 第3期:清掃桌子日

　　Are you a messy or tidy person? Is your desk a mountain of books and paper or is it a dust-free zone? January 14th, Clean Off Your Desk Day, is for you if your desk looks like a bomb has hit it.This is also a day for you to clean your computer desktop too. Most of us have a lot of clutter on our desktops and most of it needs to be filed away somewhere.Clean Off Your Desk Day is a good way of starting the year as you mean to go on. A tidy desk means you are organized. You won’t have to spend hours looking for things under piles of paper. Yours tapler and hole punch will be close at hand. You’ll have somewhere safe to put your coffee mug; a place where it isn’t in danger of tipping over and making your documents a soggy brown mess.
你是一個愛干凈的人，還是一個邋遢的人?你的書桌上是堆成山的書和紙張，還是一塵不染? 一月十四日是清掃桌子日，如果你的書桌正好亂成一團，那這個節(jié)日正好就是為你準備的。大多數(shù)人的桌子都是雜亂無章的，很多東西都需要重新規(guī)整一下。為了更好的前行，用清掃桌子日來開始新的一年再好不過了。 整潔的桌子就意味著這你是個做事有條理的人。你再也不需要花大把時間在堆積滿山的紙張中尋找東西。你的訂書器和打孔機隨時聽候召喚。你的咖啡杯將有一個安全的地方，放在這個地方的杯子沒有被碰倒的危險，文件也不會再留下一大片棕色印記。
Why do some people have such messy desks?Is it a sign of a creative mind, an overworked person, or simply laziness? It may be a clue to your childhood. If your parents were organized and tidy, you are more likelyto be too. If you took pride in tidying your room as a child, you will do the same with your desk as an adult. For many people, a tidy desk makes them feel good. They can sit down and get to work straight away. A well-organized computer desktop is the same. The person can navigate his or her way very quickly to any document they want. It only takes two minutes at the end of the day to tidy up and put things in the right place. Make use of your wastepaper basket (that’s trash can for Americans). Do that, and life will be more simple.
　　為什么人們的桌子會那么亂呢?這是不是表明你是一個想象力豐富的人，還是說你是一個工作很忙的人，還是僅僅表明你非常懶惰? 我們能夠從童年生活中有所發(fā)現(xiàn)。如果你的父母是整潔、有條理的人，那么你很有可能也會是這樣的人。孩童時，如果你會為桌子整理得干凈整潔而驕傲，那么當你成人以后，你也會做同樣的事情。對于許多人來說，干凈的桌子讓他們感覺舒服。他們可以馬上進入工作狀態(tài)。一個整潔的電腦桌也是如此。人們可以很容易地尋找到他們所需要的任何文件。你只需在最后花費2分鐘的時間來清潔你的桌子，并把文件放回到正確的位置。利用好你的廢紙簍。這樣做，你的生活將變得更加容易。
