COVID-19 爆發的時候,不少人開始在家工作,於是 home office 也變成很常見的說法。
home 是「家」,office 是「辦公室」,所以 home office 的意思是「家裡的辦公室」。
不過要注意,home office 是名詞,不是動詞。2907Please respect copyright.PENANAX5pcGcInID
所以不要說:
✘ I home office today.
這句英文沒有動詞,所以不自然。
如果你想說「我今天在家工作」,應該說:
I’m working from home today.2907Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dyaytwmnr
我今天在家工作。
或者:
I work from home.2907Please respect copyright.PENANAKNanBMvJJJ
我在家工作。
如果你真的想說「我在家裡的辦公室工作」,可以說:
I work in my home office.2907Please respect copyright.PENANAxHaCq8DHpk
我在家裡的辦公室工作。
再看幾個例子:
I have been working from home since last year.2907Please respect copyright.PENANAvTzaq7BnDq
我從去年開始一直在家工作。
I was unwell yesterday, so I worked from home.2907Please respect copyright.PENANALK7jOg0lS6
我昨天不舒服,所以在家工作。
You should stay home if you are unwell.2907Please respect copyright.PENANA9j2iXw2n75
如果你身體不舒服,就應該留在家裡。
所以:
home office = 家裡的辦公室2907Please respect copyright.PENANALFHePgh00T
work from home = 在家工作2907Please respect copyright.PENANA3SqTHYyrYJ
stay home = 留在家
所以,「我今天在家上班」不是 I home office today,而是:2907Please respect copyright.PENANAT0cvqIVc0i
I’m working from home today.
