我們原來說過“路怒”這個詞，講的是人們開車走在路上對別的車里的司機或乘客言語謾罵或者其它攻擊行為。今天，我們來說desk rage（桌怒），估計大家能猜出是什么意思了吧。

Desk rage refers to the peak of office employee stress levels which ultimately starts with the screaming of vulgar language within the workplace. It can often times lead to assaulting fellow employees, abusing office equipment and/or stealing of company property, abusing sick days and ultimately poor production at work. A possible side effect is that the employee continues to take out his or her rage at their residence in the form of kicking small animals and drinking heavily.

“桌怒”指辦公室職員在壓力到達一定極限后開始在辦公室大聲謾罵、出口成“臟”的情況。有時候，“桌怒”會發展成同事間的身體傷害、破壞辦公設備或者盜竊公司財物、濫用病假以及最終導致工作效率低下等一系列后果。“桌怒”可能帶來的另一個后果是，該職員回家后繼續撒氣，可能會踢小動物或者酗酒來出氣。

For example:

You may avoid road rage on the way to the office. But once you arrive, you have to beware of... desk rage.

上班路上你可能會躲過“路怒”。可是到了辦公室，你就得小心“桌怒”了。
