办公室里的“鬼” office ghost.

　　办公室里的鬼?听起来有点吓人。不过这些“鬼”真实地生活在我们身边，他们就是办公室里“在其位不谋其政”的人，经常“神龙见首不见尾”，英文表达是office ghost。

　　Office ghost rers to an employee who maintains a position at a company despite the fact that all of his job duties have been reassigned to other employees. This could be by the ghost&aposs own design or due to restructuring within the department.

　　“办公室里的鬼”指的是在公司保有职位，但是该职位的所有职责都由其他员工代行的人。这可能是“鬼”自己的有意安排或是部门内重组的结果。

　　Office ghosts are particularly fective when they have a big title that comes with an assistant, and a boss in another location because no one is really sure what they do all day, but they still have the ability to step up and take credit once a project is completed.

　　“办公室里的鬼”通常是那些有助理的大老板，或是在其他地方办公的主管，没有人确切知道他们一天到晚都在做什么，然而在项目完成时他们还能站出来邀功。

　　Example:

　　Employee: I was looking for Michael. Have you seen him?

　　Assistant: I think he&aposs in his office but I&aposm not sure since he always has the door closed. Let me check.

　　Assistant: No, he&aposs not in there. He might be in a meeting.

　　Employee: He&aposs like the office ghost. I can never find him when I need to talk with him. What does he do all day?

　　Assistant: Honestly I have no idea. You tell me when you figure it out and we&aposll both know.

　　员工：我在找迈克尔。你看见他了吗?

　　助理：我想他在自己的办公室里，不过我也不确定，因为他总是关着门。我来确认一下。

　　助理：不，他不在那儿。他可能在开会吧。

　　员工：他就像“办公室里的鬼”。我需要和他谈话时总是找不到他。他一天到晚都在做什么呢?

　　助理：老实说我也不清楚。哪天你弄清楚了也告诉我一下，这样我们就都知道了。
