 外刊例句 

The office is not dead but many professionals have settled into a hybrid arrangement of some office days and some remote days. Hybrid working has much to recommend it: flexibility for employees, periods of concentration at home, bursts of co-operation in the office.

办公室虽并未被淘汰，但大部分职场人士已经适应了“远程+现场”的混合办公模式。混合办公有很多可取之处：员工拥有了更高的自由度，既可以安排在家专心工作，也能在办公室通力合作。

 单词讲解 

单词hybrid最初是指家猪和野猪杂交的后代，引申词义为“杂种，杂交”。在工业方面主要指“混合，混合物”，如油电混动汽车就是gas-electric hybrid vehicle, 也可以直接把“混动汽车”说成hybrid。例如：

A mule is a hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse. 

骡子是公驴和母马交配而生的杂种动物。

Hybrids, unlike pure electric cars, never need to be plugged in.
混合动力汽车，不像纯电动汽车，从不需要接电源。

此外，单词hybrid可以当做形容词，表示“混合的”。两种完全不同甚至对立的事物、生活方式、工作方式融合到一起，就可以用hybrid来形容，例如：

Do you think hybrid work is the way of the future?

你认为混合办公是未来的发展方向吗?

Employees on a hybrid work schedule can work from home, the office, or anywhere in the world.

混合工作制的员工可以在家里、办公室或世界上任何地方工作。

 真题例句 

Researcher Joan Goodman (1994) suggested that hybrid forms of work and play are not a detriment to learning; rather, they can provide optimal contexts for learning. For example, a child may be engaged in a difficult, goal-directed activity set up by their teacher, but they may still be actively engaged and intrinsically motivated. 

研究者Joan Goodman(1994)指出工作和游戏的混合形式并不会妨碍学习；相反，这种形式可以提供最佳的学习环境。例如，一名儿童可能会参与一项由老师设置的、困难的且目标导向的活动，但他们依然可能主动参与并且是出于内在动机的。
