職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)推薦：如何找到理想的工作
By Liz Ryan, BusinessWeek
We know it’s possible, even if we haven’t read "The Four-Hour Work Week" yet. We know people in our neighborhoods or we’ve seen people on TV who have dream jobs, so we know they exist. It’s the post-millennium workplace fantasy: To do work we love and are passionate about, be paid well for doing it, and to work among smart and supportive team members under the leadership of a wise and ethical chief executive officer. Sounds reasonable on paper. Why is it so hard, in real life, to get all the dream job ducks to line up in a row?
我們知道有份理想的工作是可能的，即便我們沒(méi)讀過(guò)《The Four-Hour Work Week》這本書(shū)。在街坊里、在電視上，我們認識或見(jiàn)過(guò)那些擁有理想工作的.人，所以，我們知道，"理想工作”是存在的。這就是“后千年”時(shí)代下的職場(chǎng)幻想：做自己喜歡的、抱有激情的工作，有豐厚的收入，同事們要聰明，會(huì )支持我們，領(lǐng)導要明智、有道德感。聽(tīng)上去合情合理�？涩F實(shí)的生活中，找到理想的工作怎么就那么難？
For starters, it’s helpful to remember that our dream-job requirements often change over time. One job I held in my youth was a dream job at the time but would be impossible for me now because of the working hours. When I was twenty-something and single, I was perfectly happy to sit in a conference room with my workmates, eating pizza and talking shop at 11 p.m. Couldn’t, wouldn’t consider that now.
對于剛開(kāi)始工作的人來(lái)說(shuō)，要記住我們對理想工作的要求往往會(huì )隨著(zhù)時(shí)間發(fā)生變化。年輕時(shí)的工作在那時(shí)是理想工作，但是現在由于工作時(shí)長(cháng)則一點(diǎn)都不理想。當我二十來(lái)歲、單身的時(shí)候，我可以晚上11點(diǎn)和同事們坐在會(huì )議室一起吃著(zhù)比薩，興致勃勃地討論公事�，F在不能、也不會(huì )有那個(gè)念頭了。
You may have longed for a management role at one time and realize now that’s the last thing you’re interested in; or you may learn that you’re happiest working independently, where your teammates are available if you need them but aren’t in your face all day long.
也許，你曾渴望過(guò)一個(gè)管理位置而現在發(fā)覺(jué)對此毫無(wú)興趣；或者你曾感到獨自辦公時(shí)最快樂(lè )，你的同事們在你需要的時(shí)候出現，但是不要整天都在眼前晃。(to be continued)
