1、精選優(yōu)質文檔-傾情為你奉上Will you be a worker or a laborer?你想做工作者還是勞役者?To be truly happy, a person must feel both free andimportant. People are never happy if they feelcompelled by s
2、ociety to do work they do not enjoy, orif what they do enjoy is ignored by society as havingno value or importance. In a society where slavery inthe strict
3、;sense has been abolished, the socialindications around work, the value of work and thesalary, have degraded many laborers into modernslaves - "wage slaves".一個人要想真正快樂,必須覺得自己既自由又重要。如果覺得自
4、己是受社會逼迫而做自己不喜歡的工作,或者自己喜歡的工作被認為沒價值或不重要而遭社會忽視,那他絕不會快樂。在一個奴隸制度嚴格說來已經被廢除的社會里,工作的社會含義、工作的價值和薪水,已經把許多勞役者降格為現(xiàn)代奴隸“薪奴”。People are considered laborers if their job has an adverse effect on them, yet they feelcompelled to cont
5、inue working by the necessity of conforming to societal expectations andearning the revenue to support themselves and their families. The polar opposite of labor is play.When&
6、#160;we play a game, we enjoy what we are doing, but it is a purely private pastime; societydoes not care when or whether we play.如果人們的工作對自己有負面的影響,但為了遵從社會的期望或者掙錢養(yǎng)家糊口而被迫必須繼續(xù)工作,那么他們就
7、被認為是勞役者。勞役的對立面是玩樂。當我們玩游戲時,我們很享受正在做的事情,但這僅僅是個人娛樂。社會對我們何時玩樂或者是否玩樂并不關心。Between labor and play stands work. People are labeled as workers if their personal interestscoincide with the jobs society pays the
8、m to do; what is necessary labor from the point of viewof society is voluntary play from the individual's personal point of view. Whether a job is to bedesi

10、60;the difference betweena manual and mental job or between jobs of low or high esteem; a gardener covered in dirt ina greenhouse may be a worker while a well-d
11、ressed city mayor may prove to be an unhappylaborer!處于勞役和玩樂之間的就是工作。如果人們的個人興趣跟社會付酬讓他們做的工作相吻合,他們就被稱為工作者。社會上看來一定是苦工的事情對個人來說卻是自在的玩樂活動。一份活到底應定為工作還是勞役并不取決于其本身,而是承擔這份活的個人感受。比如,二者的區(qū)別與是體力活還是腦力活或尊嚴的高低沒有關聯(lián)。溫室里滿身塵土的園丁可能是工作者,而衣冠楚楚的市長則可能是一個不開心的勞役者!People's attitude
12、 toward their work determineseverything. To workers, leisure means simply thehours they need to relax and rest in order to workefficiently. Workers are therefore more prone
13、60;todedicate more time to working, taking too littleleisure rather than too much. To laborers, on theother hand, leisure means autonomy fromcompulsion, so it is natural for
14、160;them to imagine thatthe fewer hours they have to spend laboring, and themore hours they have free for play, the better.人們對自己工作的態(tài)度決定了一切。對工作者而言,閑暇只是為了更有效地工作而需要放松休息的時間。因此,工作者更傾向于投入更多的時間工作,而花在休閑上的時間并非
15、很多,而是很少。而對勞役者而言,休閑意味著從被迫狀態(tài)中得到自主。因此,他們自然會想,花在勞作上的時間越少,自在玩樂的時間越多,則越好。Besides the mere hours spent in leisure, workers and laborers differ in the amount of personalsatisfaction they derive from their job
16、s. Workers who enjoy their jobs will be happier, lessstressed, and generally more satisfied with their lives. They will also work with more diligenceand precision because
17、;they have fostered a sense of personal pride in their jobs. On the otherhand, laborers, whose sole incentive is earning their livelihood, feel that the time they sp
18、end onthe daily grind is wasted and doesn't contribute to their happiness. Instead of valuing all 24hours of their day as enjoyable and productive hours, they gauge
19、160;only the time spent inleisure and play as meaningful. Unfortunately, laborers are all too commonplace, and only asmall percentage of the population is in the lucky po
20、sition of being workers.除了花在閑暇上的時間不同,工作者和勞役者的區(qū)別還在于他們從工作中獲得的個人滿足感不同。工作者喜歡自己的工作,感覺更快樂,更輕松,通常對自己的生活更滿意。他們工作起來也會更勤奮,更精細,因為他們對自己的工作已經產生了一種自豪感。相反,由于勞役者的唯一動力是掙生活費,他們覺得每天花在苦差上的時間是一種浪費,不會讓自己快樂。他們不把每天的 24 小時都當作愉快有用的時光,認為只有花在休閑娛樂上的時間才是有意義的。不幸的是,勞役者太常見了,只有一小部分人能有幸成為工作者。In recent decades

26、 bad habits that waste valuable time.近幾十年,技術創(chuàng)新和勞動分工使許多領域不再需要專長或特殊技能,導致了重大經濟變革,把許多可以通過開心工作來掙錢的職業(yè)變成了枯燥的勞役。隨著自動化機器如機器人的使用,日益提高的生產力減少了必要的勞作時間??梢韵胂?,在即將到來的社會中,大多數(shù)人會擁有同早期中世紀貴族一樣多的閑暇時間。中世紀貴族有大量的閑暇時間,但卻往往耗費在玩游戲和對時尚的無聊追求上。同樣,有太多閑暇時間的現(xiàn)代勞役者們會覺得很難擺脫那些無聊又易上癮的追求,像名人八卦、奢華時尚、過度電子游戲和電視等諸
27、如此類浪費寶貴時間的壞習慣。However, it's not necessary to take such a toxicattitude toward such a positive thing as leisure time.In fact, in many countries, people now use theirleisure

32、160;into their work, be it physical like the work of a smith, or more mental like that of ascientist or an artist. Even purely mental work can suffice as a
33、n outlet, as aptly expressedby the phrase "sinking one's teeth into a problem".不管是什么工作,喜歡自己工作的人總發(fā)現(xiàn)時間過得飛快。不管是鐵匠的體力活,還是像科學家或藝術家從事的偏腦力的活,他們在工作中都會投入激情。即便是純腦力活也足以讓他們揮灑激情,恰如短語表達的那樣,“全身心投入問題中”。Eventually, everyone has to find a job and earn a living. Laborers are slaving away at a job
