程度副詞

If you're unhappy at work, but not quite ready to quit your job just yet, then science has offered up an easy solution⏤adopt a plant.

如果你工作不開心，但還沒準備要辭掉工作，科學提供了一個簡單的解決方法。養一株植物吧！

And if you work in an office with a bunch of people, then you know just how important maintaining your personal space is to your sanity.

如果你和一群人同在辦公室工作，你就會知道為了保持頭腦清醒，維護個人空間有多麼重要。

But what you might not know is that plants can have a very real impact on your emotional state of mind.

但你或許不知道的是，植物對你的情緒狀態著實有其影響。

A new study from the University of Queensland finds that an office enriched with plants doesn't just make employees happier;

昆士蘭大學的一項新研究發現，一個充滿植物的辦公室不只是讓員工比較開心而已。

This is the first study to look at the long-term effects that plants have on the quality of professional life.

這是此類的第一個研究，觀察植物對職場生活品質的長期影響。

But it's timely, considering a lot of companies are now starting to adopt the idea of "lean office management",

不過此研究出現的正是時候，考量到許多公司目前正開始採用「精益辦公室管理」的概念，

where they strip the office of any extraneous decorations to reduce distractions and so they can accommodate more people as needed.

他們除去辦公室中任何不相干的裝飾物，以減少令人分心的干擾，也因此可容納更多所需人力。

Most studies up until now have concluded that a lean office environment is a more productive one.

直到現在，大多數研究都推斷精益辦公室環境是生產力較高的那個。

But according to this study, that may not be entirely true.

但根據這項研究，這或許不完全屬實。

Researchers looked at employees from two large commercial offices in the UK and the Netherlands,

研究人員對在英國與荷蘭的兩間大型商業辦公室之員工進行調查，

and monitored their productivity levels over a 2-month period, during which time plants were introduced into the workplace.

並密切注意他們的生產力水準，監測期間超過兩個月，在這對時間內植物被引進至他們的工作場所。

Employees were also surveyed on their concentration levels, workplace satisfaction, and their perceptions of air quality within their office.

他們也調查員工的專注程度、工作場所滿意度、以及員工對辦公室空氣品質的看法。

Turns out, employees from previously lean office environments became more satisfied with their workplace, reported increased concentration levels,

結果是，來自精益辦公室環境的員工對後來的工作場所變得更加滿意，

and perceived the air quality in their offices to be better once plants were introduced.

報告指出植物一被引進後，員工的專注度提升了，而且覺得辦公室的空氣品質變得更好。

And the improved quality of life led to a more effective workplace.

而職場生活品質的改善造就了更有效率的工作場所。

According to the author of the study, adorning your office with plants helps employees be physically, mentally, and emotionally more involved in their work.

據此研究的作者所說，用植物裝飾你的辦公室有助員工在生理、心理和情緒上更加投入工作。

And he believes the reason for that is that it communicates to workers that their employer cares about them and their welfare.

而他相信原因是，它傳達給員工的訊息是雇主關心他們及他們的福祉。

So, there you have it, if your employees hate you, just buy them a few plants, or maybe stop having such a terrible workplace.

所以這就是了。如果你的員工討厭你，就買些植物給他們吧。或者可能不要再提供如此糟糕的工作場所。

大家覺得怎麼樣呢？我肯定在家種些植物，會讓我變成一個更開心的人。但是在辦公室呢？

I definitely think having plants in my home makes me a happier person, but what about the office?
