Revealed: Why You Should Never Dunk a Biscuit in a Cup of Tea in the Office
職場餅干文化：獨享惹人厭 分享更快樂
Tens of thousands of workers across the country enjoy a cup of tea and a biscuit at their desks but now a study has revealed you should never dunk at the office if you want to keep your colleagues on side.
英國有數(shù)萬名職員有在辦公桌前用餅干蘸著茶水吃的習(xí)慣，但一項最新研究顯示，如果你不想把同事從身邊趕跑，就千萬不要這么做。
Dunking at your desk is considered a major faux-pas by a fifth of British tea drinking office workers, according to a new survey of 2,000 employees by McVitie’s.
共有兩千名職員參與了麥維他公司開展的這項調(diào)查，結(jié)果顯示，有五分之一有飲茶習(xí)慣的英國職員認(rèn)為，在辦公桌邊用餅干蘸著茶水吃是很失禮的行為。
That’s in spite of a whopping 71 percent admitting they love to soak their biscuit in a cuppa.
盡管有多達(dá)71%的受訪者承認(rèn)，他們喜歡用餅干蘸著茶水吃。
The study also showed that other deplorable biscuit offences include opening a packet of biscuits that didn’t belong to them, reports Cosmopolitan.com.
據(jù)大都會網(wǎng)站報道，調(diào)查還顯示，其他讓人討厭的吃餅干行為還有，打開別人的餅干。
Leaving a trail of crumbs on someone’s desk was also considered to be an abomination, with 38 percent calling this a major faux-pas.
在別人的辦公桌上留下一堆餅干屑也讓人生厭，有38%的受訪者認(rèn)為這是很失禮的行為。
Biscuits don’t always divide colleagues however, according to another study.
但根據(jù)另一項研究，餅干并不總是造成同事之間的隔閡。
A previous survey by McVitie’s found that half of British workers say sharing the sweet treats with colleagues makes them feel happier, with more than a quarter saying they even helped forge stronger relationships.
麥維他公司之前開展的一項研究顯示，半數(shù)的英國職員認(rèn)為與同事分享甜食讓他們更開心，超過四分之一的人說這還有助于增進(jìn)同事關(guān)系。
Ten percent of office workers say that sharing biscuits even helped them bag a romantic date with one of their colleagues.
10%的受訪職員表示，和同事分享餅干甚至曾促成過同事之間的約會。
According to the research, people in social care are the biggest biscuit sharers at work, followed by accountants and teachers.
這項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，從事社會護(hù)理工作的職員最愛和同事分享餅干，會計和教師排在其后。
However, some workforces love their biscuits so much, they just can’t bear to share them, with more than a third of British workers confessing to going to great lengths to keeping them all for themselves.
然而，還一些職員太愛吃餅干了，因此不愿與他人分享。超過三分之一的英國受訪者表示會想盡辦法不去分享。
More than a quarter of construction workers have eaten biscuits in their car so colleagues wouldn’t see, while 17 percent of IT workers confess to eating biscuits on the sly.
超過四分之一的建筑工人曾在車?yán)锍燥灨�，這樣同事就看不到了。有17%的網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)職員稱他們會暗地里偷偷吃。
And a fifth of those working in hospitality and entertainment admit to hiding away their treats in the company toilet so they can enjoy their favorite biscuits in secret.
有五分之一的服務(wù)業(yè)和娛樂業(yè)職員承認(rèn)，他們會把餅干偷藏在公司衛(wèi)生間，這樣就可以偷偷享用了。
Judi James, communication and body language expert, told FEMAIL: “We live in a digital world where we’re more connected than ever, with a growing number of ‘digital friends’, but it’s those moments of real human connection that are increasingly important and help to support our own physical and emotional health.”
交流和肢體語言專家朱迪·詹姆斯告訴每日郵報網(wǎng)站女性版說：“我們生活在數(shù)字時代，比以往聯(lián)系都更加緊密，有越來越多的‘?dāng)?shù)字朋友’。但在真實世界與人交流的時刻越來越重要，也有助于我們個人的身心健康�！�
