However, after reading Auden’s discussion about work, labour, and play, the majority of us may find that we are no longer “workers”. What are we then? Questions: Part 1( Paras.1-3) 1. How can one feel free and important in his work? 2. Why does the author call a laborer a wage slave? 3. What does “voluntary play” mean in this context? 4. To a worker, what does leisure mean? 5. What is a laborer’s attitude toward leisure? Translate the sentence into Chinese. In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been abolished, whether what a man does has social value depends on whether he is paid money to do it, but a laborer today can rightly be called a wage slave. (LL6-9) 在一个严格意义上已废除奴隶制的社会里，一个人做的事情是否具有社会价值取决于他是否为完成此项工作得到了报酬。然而，今天的劳动者可以被称为名副其实的工资奴隶。 cf. abolish, cancel repeal 这些动词均含“取消、废除”之意 abolish正式用词，指彻底废除某种制度、规章或习俗。 In my opinion, such corrupt practices should be abolished. cancel用法广泛，多指取消债务、合同、证书、比赛、旅行、计划或约会等。 If it rains, let our engagement be cancelled. repeal书面用词，指撤销立法机关通过的协议、法案或法律
