身边有很多人说，大学刚毕业的时候，工作热情极高，从来都是早到晚走，有活儿也是抢着干。可工作几年后，情况就不是这样了。项目策划会基本不发言了，年轻同事在讨论什么也跟不上了。这就是职场的“掏空族(over-drained clan)”。

　　Over-drained clan rers to employees who find themselves running out of new ideas as well as enthusiasm after spending all their time and energy on day-to-day work. They are usually regarded as spiritual victims of fast-paced jobs which deprive them of learning time.

　　“掏空族”指在工作中持续投入大量时间和精力后，又无暇进行学习和“充电”，从而无法在职场再产生新的想法或工作热情的一群人。他们通常被视为当下快节奏职场中的精神牺牲品。

　　Working pressure and heated competition are the major factors behind the phenomenon. People have to put a lot of fort into their work to get their job secured, using up stock of knowledge they’ve got from previous education and losing enthusiasm for work. Keeping a good work-life balance may help them live a better life, and a lifelong learning plan will surely enable them to walk away from the clan.

　　工作压力和激烈的竞争是导致这一现象的主要因素。为了保住工作，人们把大量的精力都投入到工作当中, 把上学时学到的知识和技能都用尽了，也没了工作热情。保持好工作和生活的平衡能够使“掏空族”的生活更上一层楼，而如果有终身学习的规划，他们就一定能够摆脱被“掏空”的命运。
