2010新托福阅读：companies with unlimited vacation time

工作生活在大都市里的上班族们每天都忙忙碌碌，希望获得更高的薪资和更充足的假期。谁能获得一份不用挤公交、地铁，在家就能完成的工作自然令人羡慕不已。



　　According to the Newsfeed.time.com of October 27, employees benefit a lot from the unlimited vacation time.

　　据国外网站“the Newsfeed.time.com”10月27日报道，员工从“无限休闲时间”中获益颇多。



　　ABC New York profiled an office on its Tuesday evening newscast that is testing out unlimited vacation time for its staffers. This "social media marketing company" grants it workers the freedom to take time off, without a limited lineup of dates set in stone. Within that freedom lies the expectation that work will still be completed within its deadlines, regardless of where the team member is stationed.

　　纽约的美国广播公司周二晚上播出的新闻广播称，一家公司正在对它的员工进行 “无限休闲时间”测试。这是一家社会化媒体营销公司，公司给予员工自由请假的权利，不制定一成不变的固定工作时间。但是这种请假自由有个前提，那就是不管员工呆在哪里，他们都必须在规定时间内完成工作。



　　While the company went unnamed during ABC 7's report, NewsFeed did some digging and found that Social Media Group is the mastermind behind the movement. The outlet helps "businesses navigate the social web" and in the process allows employees to navigate their own slate of personal circumstances.

　　美国广播公司7台没有明确表示是哪家公司，但是NewsFeed 网站做了一些深入调查，发现社会化媒体集团是这次活动的幕后策划者。它帮助企业浏览社交网站，并在这个过程中允许员工浏览个人情况板。



　　Last August, NPR profiled a Seattle-based social media service employing the same benefit for its employees. The radio station cited a survey showing that for every 100 individuals at work, one person is reaping the benefits of the unlimited policy.

　　去年八月份，美国国家公共电台对位于西雅图的一家社会化媒体服务公司做了相关报道，这家公司也为员工提供相同权益。该电台援引一项调查，显示每一百名工作人员中，就有一个员工从“无限休闲时间”政策中受益。
