職場英語推薦：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，即便我們沒讀過《The Four-Hour Work Week》這本書。在街坊里、在電視上，我們認識或見過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”時代下的職場幻想：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，會支持我們，領導要明智、有道德感。聽上去合情合理。可現實的生活中，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.
對于剛開始工作的人來說，要記住我們對理想工作的要求往往會隨著時間發生變化。年輕時的工作在那時是理想工作，但是現在由于工作時長則一點都不理想。當我二十來歲、單身的時候，我可以晚上11點和同事們坐在會議室一起吃著比薩，興致勃勃地討論公事。現在不能、也不會有那個念頭了。
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，你曾渴望過一個管理位置而現在發覺對此毫無興趣；或者你曾感到獨自辦公時最快樂，你的同事們在你需要的時候出現，但是不要整天都在眼前晃。(to be continued)
