According to new research from tax and consulting firm EY, people across the globe are working longer hours than ever before.
依据税务及咨询公司EY的最新调查，在世界范围内，大家的工作时间比以往更久。
In a global survey of 9,700 adults between ages 18 and 67, nearly half of managers around the world reported logging more than 40 hours a week, and 40% said their hours have increased over the past five years.
一次对全球9700名年龄在十八岁至67岁成年人的调查中，近半数的经理们工作时间超越每周40小时，40%的人表示他们在过去5年里延长了工作时间。
Americans have it particularly bad: 58% of managers in the US reported working over 40 hours a week. The only country where people work longer hours is Mexico, where 61% said the same.
美国的状况尤为紧急：在美国工作的经理中，58%的人每周工作超越40小时。只有墨西哥人的工作时间超越美国，那里有61%的人工作时间超越每周40小时。
Compare that to China, where just 19% of managers said they work over 40 hours a week.
与之相比，在中国只有19%的经理每周工作超越40小时。
The survey found that parents have seen their hours increase more than nonparents. Among managers, 41% of full|time working parents said they've seen their hours increase in the last five years, as opposed to 37% of nonparents.
调查发现有孩子的人的工作时间比没孩子的人增加的多。
41%全职工作的爸爸妈妈表示他们在过去5年里演唱了工作时间，而没孩子的人中只有37%的人如此表示。
So it's of little surprise that one|third of full|time employees said it's gotten harder to balance work and family in the past five years.
因此，有点让人吃惊的是，三分之一的全职雇员觉得在过去5年里，想在工作和家庭获得平衡愈加难。
In fact, while most people said they value flexibility at work, about 10% of US employees who have tried to implement a flexible schedule said they've suffered a negativeconsequence, like being denied a promotion, as a result.
事实上，尽管大部分人喜欢弹性工作制，但约10%尝试过弹性工作制的美国雇员表示他们因此遭到了负面影响，比如晋升受阻。
Companies would be wise to rethink their flexible|schedule policies if they want to retain workers. More than two|thirds of respondents said they would consider quitting a job if their boss didn't allow them to work flexibly.
对于公司而言，要想留住职员，明智的做法是重新考量弹性工作制。超越三分之二的受访者表示假如老板不认可弹性工作制，他们就将离职。
