How would you translate workplace and worksite in Chinese?

Question

When speaking with people in the educational field, I notice some of us refers to "worksite" as the place they work at. Such as their school. However, I always thought that "workplace" would be more accurate.

Findings: While "worksite" and "workplace" can both make sense to describe the place someone works at.

The former "worksite" can lean toward the definition of an "construction site", an specific project location. It, however, also have the meaning of an "workplace"(?)

In contrast, the latter "workplace" is more accurately for where someone works at. (i.e. office, school, factory, etc...)

Contextual Chinese Translation:

工作场所 (Workplace) / 职场 (Work Environment)

工作场所 (Workplace): 进行工作的地方; physical site of your job.

职场 (Work Environment): 职业活动的环境; emphasizes professional work environment.

办公室 (Office)

办公室 (Office): 处理公务; The workplace where services or other related work are taken place, such as that of a paperwork.

  办 = 处理; to deal with. In here, the word "办" refers to dealing with matters.
 
  公 = 处理公务; Handling public affairs.

工地 (Worksite)

工地 (Worksite): construction site or a designated project location.

  工 = 生产劳动; labor; physical work

While in English also has the meaning of a workplace, as a 'site' is an synonym for 'place'. In Chinese, however, '工地' can only refer to construction as its first character '工' refers to physical work.

But in dictionary,

1. workplace meaning:

the room, building etc where you work 工作场所

或者

A place where people work, such as an office or factory. 工作场所（如办公室、工厂等）

2. worksite meaning(这里关于worksite的解释和例子, 我感觉不准确):

an area where an industry is located or where work takes place 工地

For example:

Some workers are sent for three months to our worksite in Germany.一些工人被派到我们在德国的工地上干三个月。

The construction company decides to move heavy caterpillars into the worksite, an act which creates a lot of cacophonies for the residents. 营造公司决定将大型机具移至工地，造成了对当地居民的许多噪音

结论:

你问题中最后部分的工应该来自 worksite meaning 中 an area where an industry is located or where work takes place 包含的industry(工业).

在英文中Worksite 和 workplace 是一个意思, 都表示工作场所.

但在中文里, worksite 侧重工地, workplace 侧重 工作场所, 工作场所包含工地. 我感觉把worksite翻译为 工地 不准确. 要表达工地的话用building site可能比较好.

A building site is an area of land on which a building or a group of buildings is in the process of being built or altered. 建筑工地

Answer 2

Workplace - 工作场所 = "the work environment", where you work and interact with your fellow employees (usually refers to the same place)

Worksite - 工作场地 = "the work location", where you go to work (can be long-term or short-term. If it is short-term, it might change every day or a few times a day)

We say workplace bullying, but we don't say Worksite bullying because a Worksite only refers to a location, but a workplace including the people in that place

工地 = 施工場地 = construction site/ worksite (can be as big as a builds complex or as small as a road sign)
