Workplace training can confer(授予，赋予) useful skills. It can also prevent legal trouble and fulfil compliance obligations. And it can be a very easy way to try out time travel(时间旅行). You only have to watch a typical corporate training video to feel the clock rewinding.(你只需观看一部典型的企业培训视频，就能感受到时钟在倒转。)
职场培训能传授实用技能，也能避免法律纠纷、履行合规义务。而且，它还是体验时间旅行的便捷方式——只需观看一部典型的企业培训视频，你就能感受到时钟在倒转。
First, and most obviously, some of these videos were filmed before you were born, on a subject that is so evergreen(永不过时的) it has never needed an update. The footage is grainy(颗粒状的，模糊的). Men wear ties and women wear pleated(有褶的) skirts. They have names like Rodney and Carol. No one has a tattoo or brings their whole self to work. If they had an illness, it wouldn’t be a mental-health issue but something from the distant past, like consumption or scrofula.(如果他们生病，不会是心理健康问题，而是来自遥远过去的疾病，如肺结核或淋巴结核。)
首先，最明显的是，有些视频拍摄于你出生之前，主题如此永恒，以至于从未需要更新。画面颗粒感重。男士系领带，女士穿百褶裙。他们叫罗德尼或卡罗尔。没有人有纹身，也不会把完整的自我带到工作中。如果他们生病，不会是心理健康问题，而是来自遥远过去的疾病，如肺结核或淋巴结核。
Some training videos may have been made recently but still look incredibly dated(过时的). That’s because they are produced on the cheap, feature terrible actors who cannot find other work and have been given the remit of achieving the longest possible shelf-life by not showing anything too contemporary.(这是因为它们制作成本低廉，启用找不到其他工作的蹩脚演员，并且被赋予一项任务：通过不展示任何太现代的内容，来达到尽可能长的保质期。)
有些培训视频可能制作于近期，但看起来却非常过时。这是因为它们制作成本低廉，启用找不到其他工作的蹩脚演员，并且被赋予一项任务：通过不展示任何太现代的内容，来达到尽可能长的保质期。
