格子间昏厥症

Schelfaniel

　　一旦上课，瞌睡便袭来；一到下课，立刻变得精神百倍。这种该清醒却不清醒的现象大家并不陌生。对于这种现象老外自有一个叫法：Cubicle Coma“格子间昏厥症”。我们开看看双语解释：

　　Cubicle Coma: When you wake up and feel engergized but as soon as you enter the work place, a wave of exhaustion runs over you and you have trouble staying awake for the rest of your work day. Amazingly, once you leave the hellish work atmosphere, you suddenly feel energized and ready to run a marathon。

　　“格子间昏厥症”：早晨醒来感觉精神百倍，可刚走进工作场所，疲惫感便席卷全身，结果工作一整天你都难以保持清醒。令人惊奇的是，一旦你离开工作环境，便突然觉得自己神采飞扬，甚至能跑个马拉松。

　　来看下面这个例子：

　　As soon as I sat down at my desk this morning, cubicle coma came over me and I immediately passed out. An coffee drip could not pull me out of it but as soon as I walked out to go home, I felt like I could do an iron man。

　　今早我刚在桌子旁边坐下，“格子间昏厥症”就席卷了我，于是我就立即“昏厥”了过去。喝咖啡也没用，但是当我下班回家时，我觉得自己就是个“钢铁侠”。
