All this required workers to be close together and created the pattern of people commuting by car or train in order to meet in a central office. This system always had glaring shortcomings, some of which have become worse over time. Most people hate the hassle and expense of commuting, which eats up over four hours a week for the average American worker. Some dislike the noise and formality of offices, or suffer from discrimination within them.

　　参考译文：这种办公模式需要员工到办公室坐班，而且为了到一个集中的办公场所上班，人们得开车通勤或坐火车通勤。上下班通勤此前就存在一些明显弊端，有些弊端随着时间的推移进一步凸显。大多数人不喜欢通勤，认为它既麻烦又费钱，普通美国人每周通勤时间高达4个多小时。还有一些人不喜欢办公室的嘈杂和拘谨，也有人会在办公场所遭遇歧视。
