　　据英国《每日邮报》报道，最新调查显示，办公室一族如果无聊，就会用不健康的零食来打发一天，这让他们迅速发胖

　　Researchers found 42 per cent of office workers have gained up to a stone in a year as they grazed on snacks such as cake and biscuits during their working hours. Boredom was cited as the biggest factor in workers reaching for a treat while others needed a sugar rush to get them through the working day.
