拯救夏日倦怠症

　　The sweltering Summer heat can make it difficult to concentrate on work. If you're itching to get out of your cubicle to lounge by the poolside, we've got these suggestions for you to stay productive at work while making the most of Summer。

　　闷热难耐的夏日总让人无法集中精力工作。如果你现在也憧憬着逃离格子间去泳池边信步一番的话，那么下面这些建议也许能帮助你在炎炎夏日也能保持高效的工作状态。

　　1.Decorate your desk: Personalize your desk with a Summer theme. Keep a potted plant or fresh flowers at your desk. Frame a few of your favorite Summer memories to perk up your mood。

　　1.装饰你的办公桌：用夏日主题来定制你的办公桌。你可以在办公桌上放一盆绿色植物或一束鲜花。你也可以把你夏日里最美好的回忆带到办公室来，这样你的情绪也会高涨起来。

　　2.Listen to a Summer-themed playlist:Create your own upbeat playlist. There's nothing like nostalgic tunes from the Summers of your youth to bring back happy memories。

　　2.听一曲夏日音乐：创建你自己的播放列表，选那些曲调欢快的音乐。听着夏日里的怀旧金曲，想想自己的年少时光，回顾往日的美好记忆，没有什么比这更惬意的了。

　　3.Eat fresh fruit (especially tropical)：Summer fruits are ripe and plentiful, and you should pack diced mango, pineapple, and papaya. Hydrate with a Banana-Mango Smoothie, add citrus and mint to your iced tea, or mix lemonade with sparkling water。

　　3.食用新鲜水果(尤其是热带水果)：夏日里的水果种类丰富、供应充足。你可以买一些包装好的切片芒果、菠萝、木瓜等。你也可以来一杯香蕉芒果冰沙；或者在你的凉茶里加一片柑橘或者薄荷；又或者把柠檬水和汽水混合着喝也是一个不错的选择。

　　4.Get your daily dose of Vitamin B:Lethargy, poor concentration, and depression could be signs of a Vitamin B deficiency. Be sure to get a well balanced diet of whole grains, lean meats and legumes, and vegetables. Pack a healthy lunch that hits those targets. Your brain will thank you with higher productivity。

　　4.每天补充维生素B：嗜睡、注意力差、情绪低落可能都是缺乏维生素B的表现。要保证饮食均衡健康，谷物、瘦肉、豆类、蔬菜一样都不能少。午餐要吃得健康，尽量保证以上这些种类的食物在午餐中都有。吃得好的奖励就是你的大脑可以更高效地工作。

　　5.Take an afternoon walk:Many people experience an afternoon slump around 2-3 p.m. Replace the second (or third) cup of coffee for a quick walk around the block. Fresh air and a dose of Vitamin D will help tackle the sluggishness。

　　5.午后散散步：很多人在下午两三点钟的时候都会犯困。放下手中的第二杯或者第三杯咖啡吧，出去绕着街区快速走一圈。新鲜的空气，阳光中的维生素D会帮助你击退倦怠的。

　　6.Make the most of daylight savings: Try working out in the morning when it's light outside and cooler. It will give you an energy boost for the rest of the day. Also, since the sun doesn't set until 8 p.m., you have plenty of time after work to kick back by the pool. Plan something outdoors with your friends and family after work rather than collapse on the couch when you get home。

　　6.充分利用白天：趁着白天天亮得早，气候又凉爽的时候，开始工作。这样，你一整天工作都会觉得精力充沛。同样地，夏天的时候，太阳在晚上8点前都不会下山，在下班后你就有了充足的时间去泳池边逛逛了。与其下班后一回家就瘫在沙发上，还不如约上家人和三五好友到室外去活动活动。
