2020年考研英语双语阅读：20年后你会变成这样吗?

　　Emma doesn't look so great.

　　“艾玛”看起来不怎么样。

　　Her legs are puffy and covered in varicose veins. Her eyes are flat and dead, and her back lookslike she spends her days ringing the bell at Notre-Dame Cathedral.

　　双腿浮肿，静脉曲张，双眼惨淡无神，后背看起来仿佛在巴黎圣母院敲了几天的钟。

　　It's harsh but true. Emma is a life-sized doll depicting what the team think an average officeworker in the United Kingdom could look like in 20 years if changes aren't made to theworkplace environment.

　　这是残忍的事实，“艾玛”是一个真人巨细的玩偶，研究团队认为假如不改变事情情况，英国普通上班族20年后就会酿成她的样子。

　　For a new report titled The Work Colleague of The Future, a team of health experts led bybehavioral futurist William Higham looked at survey data submitted by more than 3,000 officeworkers in France, Germany, and the UK.

　　行为将来学家William Higham教育康健专家颁发了一篇新的名为“将来同事”的陈诉，该研究团队研究了3,000多名法国、德国和英国上班族提交的观测数据。

　　The percentages of UK office workers who said they already suffered from sore eyes (50 percent), sore backs (48 percent), and headaches (48 percent) as a direct result of their workenvironment informed the design of the sickly Emma, who also suffers from stress-relatedeczema, excess weight, and swollen limbs.

　　依照英国上班族中声称受事情情况直接影响已经患有眼睛酸痛(50%)、后背酸痛(48%)和头疼(48%)的人数比例，设计出了这个病态的艾玛，她还患有与压力有关的湿疹、超重和四肢肿胀。

　　If we don't majorly shake-up the standard office environment, according to Higham, we'reheaded toward a future rife with Emmas.

　　Higham说假如我们不加大力大举度改变尺度的办公情况，将来就城市像艾玛一样。

　　"Unless we make radical changes to our working lives, such as moving more, addressing ourposture at our desks, taking regular walking breaks, or considering improving our workstationsetup, our offices are going to make us very sick," he said, according to The Independent.

　　他在《独立报》报道中说：“除非我们彻底改变事情习惯，好比多走动、留意在办公桌前的坐姿、按期散步休息或思量改造我们的事情站配置，不然办公室就会使我们变患病态。”

　　Of course, this isn't a peer-reviewed study, and Fellowes – the office furniture company whichcommissioned the report – is undoubtedly trying to promote its own products here. But it's stillan interesting concept looking into exactly what our office spaces could be doing to our bodies.

　　虽然这并非同行评审研究，而是受办大众具公司范罗士委托编写的，该公司无疑是在尽力推销本身的产物。但这依然是一个有趣的理念，针对办公情况对我们身体的影响举办了观测。
