外刊例句 

It also means workers get more sleep by escaping the tyranny of the early-morning alarm. In addition, they no longer suffer the agonies of the daily commute: the cramped railway carriages or gridlocked roads. And best of all, there are no meetings to endure—no need to sit with a vaguely interested expression on your face while time seems to slow to a crawl. In short, holidays reduce stress. And in the long run, stress makes workers less likely to perform well.

这也意味着，员工可以摆脱清晨闹钟的烦扰，睡个懒觉。此外，他们也无需经受日常通勤的痛苦，比如狭窄的地铁车厢或拥堵的道路。最重要的是，他们无需再因会议而遭罪——佯装着兴趣十足的样子度日如年地坐在那里。简而言之，假期可以减轻压力。从长远来看，压力不利于员工展现良好的工作状态。
