名词

一种将电脑与手机相联，而后接送信息和数据的移动式办公设备。

 

DEFINITION

Noun

A portable gadget connecting a computer with a mobile phone, allowing the two devices to send and receive data.

由来
  • 英语 “mobile office” 的意译。
  • 1996年，新加坡电信公司 (Singtel) 独资子公司流动联系 (Page-Link) 正式推出流动办公室服务。
  • 除了接送信息和流动数据 (mobile data) 之外，流动办公室也备有接收或发送流动传真 (mobile fax) 和流动简讯 (mobile message) 等功能。
  • 要使用以上功能，手机必须连接上全球移动通讯系统 (Global System for Mobile Communications，简称 “GSM”) 或个人通讯网络 (Personal Communications Network，简称 “PCN”)。
  • 这样一来，人们只要拥有手机或电脑等设备，便能随时随地办公，不需要连接固定的电话线插头，使流动办公的地点有更广泛的选择 (这在1990年代十分新鲜)。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “流动办公室” is a paraphrase of the English term “mobile office”.
  • In 1996, PageLink, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singtel, officially launched mobile office services.
  • In addition to sending and receiving messages and mobile data, the mobile office was equipped with functions such as mobile fax and mobile messages.
  • To use these functions, the user’s mobile phone had to be connected to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) or the Personal Communications Network (PCN).
  • With this, a person with a mobile phone or computer could work anytime and anywhere without the need to connect to a fixed telephone line and hence have greater flexibility in choosing locations from which to work remotely (a novelty in the 1990s).
例句
流动办公室推出后大受欢迎，它是唯一可在交通阻塞时继续办公的先进工具。(《新明日报》，21/11/1994)
SAMPLE SENTENCE
The mobile office has become very popular since it was launched. It is the only device that allows users to continue to work in a traffic jam. (Shin Min Daily News, 21/11/1994)
