第四单元课后翻译

电子邮件对我们职业生涯和个人生活的影响非同一般。相隔千里的人们可以在短短的几秒钟之内发送并接受详尽的文件资料。这就使得人们能够以一种前所未有的方式齐心协力，共同承担大量的工程项目。通过电子邮件与国外的人通信、交换文件已成为时空见惯的事情。唯一的障碍时时区的不同。

但是，另一方面，阅读电子邮件也会吞噬我们相当的工作时间。有事，我们大部分的时间和精力都用于阅读未经索要而寄来的邮件以及删除垃圾邮件。不过，我所收到的许多未经索要的邮件都还值得一读，不分青红皂白地将他们全部删除显得有些鲁莽。毕竟，我收到的许多邮件都来自我的同事和上级。在我看来，电子邮件有助于缓和办公室里的等级观念。通过电子邮件向老板提些建议比面对面的交谈容易得多。但是不利于之处在于，如果电子邮件被曲解，会导致伤害以及对别人的冒犯。

电子邮件是福是祸。用的好，它可以带来许多益处；用的不好，它也会招致许多麻烦。

The effect that e-mail has on our professional and personal life is mind-boggling. People thousands of miles away from each other can send and receive detailed documents within mere seconds. This allows us to take on a multitude of projects , to pool our collective efforts in a way that wouldn’t have been possi ble before. It has become routine for us to correspond and exchange files with people overseas. The only obstacle is the difference in time zones.

But on the other hand, e-mail can eat up a substantial portion of our workday. Sometimes, most of the time and effort involved is going through unsolicited message and deleting junk. However, many of the unwanted messages I receive are actually worth reading, so it would be reckless to wipe them all out without further investigation. After all, many of the messages I receive come from coworkers and superiors. In my opinion, e-mail may help flatten hierarchies in an office setting. It is far easier to make suggestions to our bosses via e-mail than it is to do so in a face-to-face talk. But the downside of it is that e-mail, if misinterpreted, may result in some hurt feelings, and offenses.

E-mail can be a blessing or a curse. Used properly, e-mail can offer great advantages. Used poorly, it can cause enormous trouble.
