職場中適當的抱怨會有益於你的身心健康
Sometimes we need to vent about the place we work. Whether it's the long hours you put in, an unreasonable boss, or lack of recognition for your efforts -- every workplace has enough fuel to ignite that frustration.
有時我們需要抱怨我們工作的地方。不管怎樣，每個工作場所都有足夠的燃料來點燃你的挫敗感，比如長時間地工作、老闆不講道理、付出不被認可。Good news is, this workplace complaining is actually beneficial to your mental well-being and to the productivity in the office.
好消息是，職場抱怨實際上有益於身心健康和工作效率。Vanessa Pouthier, a researcher at the University of Melbourne in Australia, studied a team of nurses and health professionals at a hospital in the United States and found that there are actually benefits to these kinds of complaining sessions.
澳大利亞墨爾本大學的研究人員瓦內薩·普萊特，對美國一家醫院的護士和健康專業人員進行了研究，發現這些抱怨過程實際上是有好處的。
Pouthier observed the joking (and complaining) that went on for 12 months and realized "it helps people to process stress and frustration," Pouthier told ABC.
普萊特在接受美國廣播公司採訪時表示，他持續觀察開玩笑（以及抱怨）12個月，意識到“這有助於人們處理壓力和挫折”。No matter what kind of environment you work in, there will always be a corner of the office or the lunch room, where a small (or large) collective of employees are venting to some degree.
無論你在什麼樣的環境中工作，辦公室或午餐室總會有一個角落，在那裏會有小部分（或大部分）員工在某種程度上發泄不滿。"Generally, people don't think there's any value to it," Pouthier says. But this common activity in every workplace was so under researched, she had to look into other fields, such as linguistics, to better understand its functions.
普萊特說：“一般來說，人們不認爲這會有任何價值。”每個工作場所都普遍存在這樣的活動，但是針對它的研究較少，她不得不研究其他領域，比如語言學，以便更好地理解它的功能。Whether it's politely debating the effectiveness of how an office runs, or complaining about the bosses, Pouthier found these gripes served as a bonding function and can even re-energize a workplace, helping staff work through their negative feelings.
不管你是在禮貌地討論辦公室的運作效率，還是抱怨老闆們，普萊特發現這些抱怨是一種感情粘合劑，甚至可以讓工作場所重新充滿活力，幫助員工克服消極情緒。"It allows people to recognize how similar they are in the challenges they're facing every day and how they feel about them," she says.
她表示：“抱怨讓人們意識到他們每天面對的挑戰以及他們對挑戰的感受是多麼相似。”
