Ｊｏｎａｔｈａｎ?。樱簦澹欤欤椋睿?/p>

Let's be honest, most of us are stuck working in an office job we don't exactly love. So as I'm a nice person and due to feeling a little guilt over enjoying my job so much, I decided to make life easier for everyone and made a list of those cool gadgets that will make work less stressful for you all. Good luck getting your boss to purchase them though, as they're not cheap, but hey just tell him you worth it!

說實話,我們大多數(shù)人都被迫在辦公室做著我們并不熱愛的工作。所以,鑒于我人品好,懷著對如此喜歡現(xiàn)在這份工作的些許愧疚之情,我決定讓每個人的生活變得更輕松,為此我列出一些很酷的新玩意,來減輕你們的工作壓力。這些東西不便宜,老板若能購買,那你就走運了,不過呢,告訴他,這些東西值得擁有。

Firebox's Pocket Projector

Firebox微型投影儀

This little gem came out in 2008. Who doesn't want a high powered projector that fits in your pocket! With its sleek design and its ability to hook up to almost any audio equipment, you literally are walking around with a portable cinema. Picture size is limited to a 50', which is more than enough for most business meetings or social gathering. It punches in at around $523US, but you're paying for quality. In my opinion it's worth it, so pass the popcorn.

這個小玩意于2008年問世。誰不想要一臺電力持久,且能放在口袋里的投影儀呢!它設(shè)計考究,能連接任何音頻設(shè)備,你帶著它就相當(dāng)于帶著一個便攜式電影院。它投射的圖像大小僅50英寸,但對于大多數(shù)商務(wù)會議或社交場合來說,已經(jīng)綽綽有余。它的售價高達532美元,但一分錢一分貨。我認為它值這個價錢,所以坐下來享受它帶來的快樂吧。

Dymo LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo

Dymo450雙渦輪標(biāo)簽打印機

If you've ever had the boss ask you to sort out the office filing system, and then been led you to a room that could swallow small countries, this could very well save your life. Churning out a staggering 70 labels per minute from its two printing spools you will be finished in no time. There's a long wait while all the software you need to make it run is download, but you'll be deliriously happy once it starts printing. Best of all it doesn't require any ink! According to the QuickStart Guide, the LabelWriter 'uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy'. $210US, yes please!

如果老板讓你整理辦公室的檔案,然后帶你進了一個房間,而其中的文件能淹沒一個小國,那這臺機器就能挽救你的生命。它有兩個印刷筒,每分鐘能打印70個標(biāo)簽,你很快就可以完成工作。不過在使用之前,你要下載所有運行軟件,這可要等一段時間,但是它一旦啟動,你就會樂開花。它最大的好處在于,完全不需要任何墨!這臺標(biāo)簽打印機的使用說明書上寫道:“使用熱印刷頭發(fā)出的熱量在特制的標(biāo)簽上打印。你需要購買的唯一耗材就是標(biāo)簽。”僅售210美元,所以敬請購買。

Laser Virtual Keyboard with Bluetooth

藍牙激光虛擬鍵盤

Have big hands? Problems typing on your PDA? Travelling a lot? Working in dark enclosed spaces? Then this baby might be just what the doctor ordered. Effectively what you are getting is a small portable device that can be hooked up to your PC or Smartphone, Blackberry etc, which projects a full size virtual laser keyboard which does everything a normal one can. Ok you ideally need a flat surface and it will take you a bit of practise, but once you've mastered it, life will be beautiful. No more carry that keyboard or fiddling with your PDA or straining in the bad light to see the right keys. Prices vary from as low as $100US to over $300US, so just make sure you get one that is compatible with your device!

你的手很大?在掌上電腦上打字有困難?經(jīng)常出差?在昏暗而封閉的地方工作?那這個寶貝或許正適合你。它其實是一臺便攜式設(shè)備,可以連接你的電腦、智能手機、黑莓,等等,能夠投射出一個實際大小的激光虛擬鍵盤,功能跟普通鍵盤完全一樣。誠然,為了達到完美效果,你得需要一方平地,還需要多次練習(xí),但你一旦掌握它,就會發(fā)現(xiàn)生活變得非常美好。你不需要帶著鍵盤,不需要擺弄你的掌上電腦,也無需再在昏暗的光線下費力地辨識鍵盤。售價從100美元至300多美元不等,而你只要確認它是否跟你的設(shè)備兼容就可以了。

The Leopard

Leopard座椅

Is you back sore? Feeling a little unloved on that office swivel chair? Well maybe this is the answer. It's sleek, sexy and it gives you that much needed hug. As you sit in it, it slowly sinks 25 degrees on its hydraulic limb and due to its design, it's shaped to embrace your back, sculpting itself perfectly to your form. There's the choice of a leather or a cloth version with the frame's colour being limited to either black or white. On the downside you can still only buy this in Japan and it costs a gut-wrenching $2500US for the leather version. Ouch, I need to sit down, now where's a Leopard chair when you need one?

你的背酸疼嗎?感覺坐在辦公室的轉(zhuǎn)椅上有些不爽嗎?那Leopard座椅就能幫你解決這一問題。它時尚而性感,給你亟需的擁抱。你坐上去之后,它的液壓椅子腿就會下沉25度,由于其設(shè)計,它可以貼住你的背部,符合你的身形。有皮質(zhì)或者布藝兩種材料,和黑白兩色可供選擇。有一點不好之處就是,只有在日本才能購買得到,皮質(zhì)的售價高達2500美元。哎唷,我得坐下來,那你的Leopard座椅在哪里呢?

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Professional

Dragon語音識別10專業(yè)版

This is the more expensive version for the serious office environment and comes with more bells and whistles than I have space to talk about. The main feature though, is still the direct dictation software which can now handle more difficult English accents. Once you've installed everything on your computer and synced your voice with the software, all you have to do is talk. Everything you say is written exactly as said on your computer, with an accuracy rating of approximately 99%. That leaves the secretary free to get on with all that other work you've just given her. So open your wallet and shell-out $720US and don't forget to buy your own top quality headset and microphone for the best results.

這是適用于嚴(yán)肅辦公環(huán)境的版本,售價更高,功能也更多,我在這里就不一一敘述了。它的主要功能仍然是即時聽寫,現(xiàn)在能識別各種口音的英語。先將其安裝在電腦上,然后使聲音與軟件同步,那接下來你要做的就是說話了。你說什么,電腦上就會顯示什么,準(zhǔn)確度高達99%。這樣秘書就有時間做你剛給她布置的工作了。所以,打開錢包,支付720美元,別忘了再買一副高品質(zhì)的耳機和話筒,從而達到最佳效果。

Zpen

Zpen數(shù)字記錄筆

This is a great little device. Most of us still like to use a pen or a pencil to write things down. Lost anything this way? Had to rewrite and store the important stuff on your computer? Well you don't have to worry any more. This special pen comes with a receiver device that just plugs into a USB socket and after that anything you write or draw with the Zpen is also automatically transferred to your computer. Not only that, but if you are one of those people whose writing is illegible it's no longer a problem; there's an option in the software for turning it into a clear printed text! It costs $169US, but for people who write all the time it's a bargain.

這是個很棒的小設(shè)備。我們大多人仍喜歡使用鋼筆或鉛筆寫東西。因此而丟失過文件?需要改寫并把重要的數(shù)據(jù)存到電腦上?有了Zpen數(shù)字記錄筆,你就不用再擔(dān)心了。這支特殊的筆其實是一個接收器,能插入USB插槽,然后你用Zpen寫的,或者畫的任何東西就能自動轉(zhuǎn)到你的電腦里。不僅如此,如果你的筆跡難以辨認也無妨,有軟件可以將其轉(zhuǎn)化成清楚的印刷字體!這支“筆”售價169美元,但對于經(jīng)常寫字的人來說,并不算貴。

Circulation Improving Seat Cushion

能改善血液循環(huán)的坐墊

For those of us who aren't planning a trip to Japan and have a much smaller budget to play with, this might be more up your street. Made by a company that supplies the same technology to the US Air Force, this cushion inflates at various specific points in a 12 minute, four sequence cycle, that relieves pressure points and improves blood circulation. It's ideal for people who are stuck in a chair for long periods of time whether they're in an office, travelling by car or plane. It's still not that cheap at $300US, but if it gets rid of those pains…

如果你沒打算去日本,或者兜里錢不多,那這個東西更適合你。廠家也為美國空軍提供同樣的技術(shù),它能夠在12分鐘之內(nèi)充滿氣,可緩解壓力點,改善血液循環(huán)。無論是在辦公室,還是坐在汽車或者飛機上,對于長時間坐在椅子上的人來說,它都是理想的產(chǎn)品。它售價不菲,要300美元,但如果能驅(qū)除疼痛……

AutO-ring

AutO-ring 快速整合器

Last but by no means least is the AutO-ring for that hard working office drone or student. Simply put, if you use a lot of ring binders you know the hassle of having the paper tearing and constantly being lost. The AutO-ring, shaped similar to a stapler solves this as it, 'quickly and easily applies reinforcement adhesives to strengthen or repair punch holes so pages stay put.' Now you don't have to worry about any more pages falling out and at just $7.95US this is finally something we can all afford.

最后,但并非不重要,我們給在辦公室辛勞的上班族和學(xué)生推薦AutO-ring。簡單來說,如果你常用活頁筆記薄,就會知道撕張紙多麻煩,而且紙張也容易丟失。AutO-ring就能解決這一問題。它的外形像一臺訂書機,“可以使用黏合劑迅速而輕松地加固,或者修復(fù)穿孔,使本子牢固。”這樣你就無需擔(dān)心紙張脫落了。售價僅為7.95美元,這下我們終于買得起了。
