According to a recent Gallup poll,telecommuting is on the rise. Over one-third of all American workers are now doing so from the comfort of their home, a local café, or a mobile office2mobile office移动办公室。乘坐汽车等交通工具时，使用手机或笔记本电脑等进行办公称为移动办公，而用来移动办公的交通工具即为移动办公室。. As more and more companies get smart to the benefits of keeping a remote staff (reduced cost,greater efficiency, access to global talent),this trend will likely increase.

[2] Technology is facilitating telecommuting and making the physical office a thing of the past.

近期一项盖洛普民意测验显示，远程办公日益兴起。现有超过三分之一的美国职员在家中、邻近的咖啡馆或移动办公室远程办公。随着远程办公的优势得到越来越多公司的认可（降低成本，提高效率，获得全球范围的人才），该趋势有望继续发展。

[2]科技正为远程办公提供便利，同时逐渐淘汰实体办公室。我们可使用智能手机批准事项，在地铁上借助Slack软件协同工作，通过Skype参加电话会议，而不必乘坐费用不菲的航班远途参会。

[3] The rapid growth of marketplace companies, like Taskrabbit7跑腿兔，美国一个提供临时工服务的在线平台。and Upwork8美国一个自由职业平台。, further fuels the trend. In fact,according to a 2016 study from Harvard,the average American would take an 8 percent pay cut just to work from home!

[4] Yet not everyone is happy about the rise in telecommuting. Sending their staff out into the blue yonder9into the blue yonder到未知的远方，常作into the wild/wide blue yonder。该短语初见于1939年由罗伯特·麦克阿瑟·克劳福德（Robert MacArthur Crawford）创作的歌曲《陆军航空队歌》（Army Air Corps），后成为美国空军军歌，改名为《美国空军》（The U.S. Air Force）。歌曲首句写道：“Off we go into the wild blue yonder, climbing high into the sun.”（我们飞向蓝色远方，升向高空，冲向太阳。）can strike panic in the hearts of controlling managers. According to Founder &CEO of Flexjobs10美国一家求职网站，为求职者提供远程办公、自由职业、兼职工作等就业信息。, Sara Sutton Fell,many companies are still scared of telecommuting for three main reasons:

1. It’s unmanageable

2. It’s only beneficial to employees

3. It’s unknown territory

[3] Taskrabbit和Upwork之类的求职公司迅速发展，为这一趋势推波助澜。据2016年哈佛大学的一项研究，实际上，美国人一般愿减薪8%，只为在家办公！……
