The sweltering Summer heat can make it difficult to concentrate on work. If you're itching to get out of your cubicle to lounge by the poolside, we've got these suggestions for you to stay productive at work while making the most of Summer.
悶熱難耐的夏日總讓人無法集中精力工作。如果你現(xiàn)在也憧憬著逃離格子間去泳池邊信步一番的話,那么下面這些建議也許能幫助你在炎炎夏日也能保持高效的工作狀態(tài)。

1.Decorate your desk: Personalize your desk with a Summer theme. Keep a potted plant or fresh flowers at your desk. Frame a few of your favorite Summer memories to perk up your mood.
1.裝飾你的辦公桌:用夏日主題來定制你的辦公桌。你可以在辦公桌上放一盆綠色植物或一束鮮花。你也可以把你夏日里最美好的回憶帶到辦公室來,這樣你的情緒也會高漲起來。

2.Listen to a Summer-themed playlist:Create your own upbeat playlist. There's nothing like nostalgic tunes from the Summers of your youth to bring back happy memories.
2.聽一曲夏日音樂:創(chuàng)建你自己的播放列表,選那些曲調(diào)歡快的音樂。聽著夏日里的懷舊金曲,想想自己的年少時光,回顧往日的美好記憶,沒有什么比這更愜意的了。

3.Eat fresh fruit (especially tropical):Summer fruits are ripe and plentiful, and you should pack diced mango, pineapple, and papaya. Hydrate with a Banana-Mango Smoothie, add citrus and mint to your iced tea, or mix lemonade with sparkling water.
3.食用新鮮水果(尤其是熱帶水果):夏日里的水果種類豐富、供應(yīng)充足。你可以買一些包裝好的切片芒果、菠蘿、木瓜等。你也可以來一杯香蕉芒果冰沙;或者在你的涼茶里加一片柑橘或者薄荷;又或者把檸檬水和汽水混合著喝也是一個不錯的選擇。

4.Get your daily dose of Vitamin B:Lethargy, poor concentration, and depression could be signs of a Vitamin B deficiency. Be sure to get a well balanced diet of whole grains, lean meats and legumes, and vegetables. Pack a healthy lunch that hits those targets. Your brain will thank you with higher productivity.
4.每天補充維生素B嗜睡、注意力差、情緒低落可能都是缺乏維生素B的表現(xiàn)。要保證飲食均衡健康,谷物、瘦肉、豆類、蔬菜一樣都不能少。午餐要吃得健康,盡量保證以上這些種類的食物在午餐中都有。吃得好的獎勵就是你的大腦可以更高效地工作。

5.Take an afternoon walk:Many people experience an afternoon slump around 2-3 p.m. Replace the second (or third) cup of coffee for a quick walk around the block. Fresh air and a dose of Vitamin D will help tackle the sluggishness.
5.午后散散步:很多人在下午兩三點鐘的時候都會犯困。放下手中的第二杯或者第三杯咖啡吧,出去繞著街區(qū)快速走一圈。新鮮的空氣,陽光中的維生素D會幫助你擊退倦怠的。

6.Make the most of daylight savings: Try working out in the morning when it's light outside and cooler. It will give you an energy boost for the rest of the day. Also, since the sun doesn't set until 8 p.m., you have plenty of time after work to kick back by the pool. Plan something outdoors with your friends and family after work rather than collapse on the couch when you get home.
6.充分利用白天:趁著白天天亮得早,氣候又涼爽的時候,開始工作。這樣,你一整天工作都會覺得精力充沛。同樣地,夏天的時候,太陽在晚上8點前都不會下山,在下班后你就有了充足的時間去泳池邊逛逛了。與其下班后一回家就癱在沙發(fā)上,還不如約上家人和三五好友到室外去活動活動。
