如迪斯尼乐园梦幻般的Facebook园区- Business Insider（二）

       不久前，Facebook耗资1.2亿美元为其员工在加州门洛帕克总部附近,建造了394个复式公寓。
       当这个消息传来时，Business Insider便径直走访了于2012年5月开放的门洛帕克公园内梦幻般的Facebook总部。
       公司宿舍在今天听起来似乎有些奇怪。但当你一旦看到Facebook带有迪士尼风格的园区,会发现它的规划很有意义。从离奇古怪的Facebook小镇入口开始，整个园区的规划设计犹如在Disneyland大街和Palo Alto市中心间的一个十字架。
A few days ago, news broke that Facebook was building a $120 million, 394-unit housing complex for its employees near its Menlo Park, Calif. offices.
When that story hit, Business Insider was literally touring Facebook's fantastical Menlo Park headquarters, opened in May, 2012.
Company housing may sound strange in this modern day. But once you've seen Facebook's Disney-inspired campus, Facebook's plans make sense. The campus was designed to look like a cross between Main Street Disneyland and downtown Palo Alto (the quaint town where Facebook got its start).


       由于Facebook有很多喜欢动手做东西的工程师，所以还设置了一个木工间。
Because Facebook is a company filled with engineers who like to build things, there's also a complete woodworking shop.


       全职木工可以给员工们授课，他们还会给园区制作各种架子和垃圾桶。
Full-time builders will teach others. They also make stuff for the campus like shelves and garbage can surrounds.


       一位员工在木工间里给自己家做橱柜。
One employee was in the wood shop building kitchen cabinets for his house.


       最好的福利可能还是免费洗衣和干洗。只要把衣服扔进去，过后再拿走就行了。
Maybe the best perk of all is free laundry and free dry cleaning. Just drop it off and pick it up.


       人气最高的店是甜品店。
The most popular shop is the Sweet Stop.


       园区的所有事物都是自制的，甚至包括面包。这家店有自制冰淇淋、酸奶、糖果和点心。新员工经常会因为免费食物而发胖。
All the food on campus (even the bread) is homemade. This shop has homemade ice cream, yogurt, candy, pastries. New employees often suffer from the "Facebook 15." Free food makes them gain weight.


       如果你只是为了吃点东西，甚至完全不必去免费餐馆，因为小厨房里都装满了零食。
You don't have to eat at a free restaurant. You could use the micro-kitchens filled with snacks.


       员工通常在开放的办公室里工作，很多人共用一个长桌。
Employees normally work at long tables in open rooms.


       如果你体重超标了，可能就用得上这些玻璃隔断中带跑步机的办公桌了。
If you've been hit with the Facebook 15 you can do penance in these glass rooms with treadmill desks.


       水泥地面，荧光灯照明，让办公室看上去很有工业感。
With cement floors and exposed florescent lighting, some offices have an industrial feel.


       但随处都可以看到艺术，例如小厨房里的这张桌子。这些作品多数都是员工自己创作的，诞生地则是“模拟研究实验室”。
But there is art everywhere, like this table in a micro kitchen. The art is mostly from employees and the Analog Research Lab.


       墙上还有很多手写的文字……
There is also a lot of writing on the wall ...


......这里有全部内部员工的玩笑。员工可以在一面真正的“Facebook Wall”上涂鸦。Facebook用“Wall”来称呼尚未发布到时间轴上的页面。
... it's all part of an inside joke, where people can write on the actual Facebook Wall (get it? The "Wall" is what Facebook used to call your Facebook page before they rolled out Timeline).
       这是涂鸦墙的近景。
Here's a close up of what one person wrote on the Facebook Wall.


       员工有时还会在墙上贴照片。这是关于一个名叫John McKearnan员工的一个私人玩笑。
Sometimes, employees use the wall to post photos, too. This is a private joke about an employee named John McKearnan.


       有的艺术作品来自专业人士，比如这一个。有一位工程师问艺术家，这幅作品是什么意思，艺术家说：“编码。”工程师摇了摇头说……
A few art installations are from professionals, like this one. An engineer asked the artist what it represented. The artist said, "Coding." The engineer shook his head and said ...


……“那不是编码，这才是编码。”他给艺术家看了一段真正的Facebook代码片段。于是，一段真正的Facebook代码也被印到墙上。
... "That's not code. This is code," and he gave him a snippet of real code used by Facebook. And that's how this real Facebook code got onto this wall.


       幽默无处不在，这是一个挂着超人服装的电话亭。
Humor is everywhere. Here's a phone booth with a superman cape.


       这其实是一个大房间的中央，注意看桌子上的那些小摆件。
This little hang-out space is actually in the middle of a large room. Note the figurines on the table.


       员工可以随时从这里取用电池、充电器、耳机。虽然都是免费的，但Facebook还是会标记出价格。
This is something ingenious. People work all hours at Facebook, but IT doesn't. If employees need tech supplies like batteries, chargers, headphones, they can get them off hours from vending machines all over campus. The supplies are free, but Facebook shows how much they cost.


       还可以通过骑车去工作来减肥。你不用自己买，Facebook会向员工出租自行车。
Another way to get rid of the Freshman 15 is to ride a bike to work. You don't have to buy one. Facebook loans bikes to its employees.


       当然，园区里必须要配备功能齐全的修车店。
Naturally, that means there's a full-service bike shop on campus too.


       这里可以调试自行车，修理各种问题，帮你更换零件。你也可以自己动手去做。
They'll tune your bike, fix a flat, help you upgrade parts, or let you use the tools yourself.


       店里的自动售货机有各种自行车零件。
The bike shop's vending machine has bike parts like tire tubes, brake pads, chain links.


       Facebook在门洛帕克书写的新传奇就像这片黄砖小路一样。维护人员看到有人穿过草丛，所以铺了这一条砖路，后来有人涂成了黄色。
New Menlo Park Facebook legends have begun like this yellow brick road. Building maintenance saw pictures on Facebook of people cutting across the grass here so they built a brick path. Someone painted it yellow ...


       还有人在旁边盖起了《绿野仙踪》的小屋，不仅有死去的巫婆，还有红色的鞋子。
Someone else added the Wizard of Oz house complete with dead witch and ruby red slippers.



       最新的Facebook传奇是“Facebook狐狸”。一只狐狸妈妈在园区里生了小狐狸，于是成了Facebook的吉祥物。
The newest legend is the Facebook foxes. A fox mom gave birth to some cubs in the center of town and they became the Facebook mascots.


       Facebook硬件实验室里，员工们在那里建造神奇的东西。

       Facebook园区确实存在于一座这样的小镇，一个美好的小世界。
Facebook is truly living in its own, very nice little world.
