辦公室的“電腦狂暴癥”

上班時突然聽到隔壁格子間的同事在猛砸鍵盤，或者在對著顯示器發火，這其實是“電腦狂暴癥”在作祟。調查顯示，五分之四的受訪者在日常工作中都發現過有同事向電腦“拳打腳踢”，甚至“言語羞辱”，以發泄心中怨氣。

Computer rage is physical or verbal abuse towards a computer or computer-related accessory due to heightened anger or frustration.
“電腦狂暴癥”是指由于極度憤怒或沮喪，所引發的對電腦或配件的“拳打腳踢”或“言語羞辱”。

Examples of computer rage include cursing or yelling at a computer, slamming or throwing keyboards and mice, and assaulting the computer or monitor with an object or weapon.
“電腦狂暴癥”的例子有：對著電腦罵臟話或喊叫，猛擊或扔掉鍵盤鼠標，拿東西砸電腦或顯示器。

Users can experience computer anger and frustration for a number of reasons. American adults surveyed in 2013 reported that almost half (46%) of their computer problems were due to malware or computer viruses, followed by software issues (10%) and not enough memory (8%).
“電腦狂暴癥”的產生有多種原因。2013年針對美國成年人的一項調查顯示，近半數（46%）的電腦問題是惡意軟件或電腦病毒導致的，其次是軟件問題（10%）以及內存不足（8%）。

These technical issues, paired with tight timelines, poor work progress, and failure to complete a computer task can create heightened computer anger and frustration. When this anger and frustration exceeds a person's control, it can turn into rage.
這些技術問題，加之期限臨近、工作沒有進展、無法完成電腦上的工作，就會導致人們對電腦的憤怒和沮喪情緒。當這種憤怒和沮喪超過了人們所能控制的范圍，就會變成狂暴癥。
