PAGE 2 UNIT 3 Careers and skills All occupations are equal, with no difference in status or worth. Any one that is beneficial to the public is praiseworthy.—Huang Yanpei 职业平等，无高贵，无贵贱。苟有益于人群。皆是无上上品。——黄炎培 Reading(p 30-31) Work to live, live to work为了生活而工作,为了工作而生活 If you were asked the question. “Do you work to live or live to work?”, what would your answer be? Some might say that we work because we have to, not least because we need the salary that enables us to be financially independent. It is certainly true that most of us do join the labour force once our studies are completed. Indeed, it could be argued that our education geared towards preparing us for a life of work. However, earning living is by no means the only reason why we work—there are other important reasons that motivate us to enter the world of work. 如果有人问你“你是为了生活而工作还是为了工作而生活?”,你的答案会是什么?有人可能会说,我们工作是因为我们必须工作,尤其是因为我们需要薪水来实现经济状立。的确,我们中的大多数人一定成学业就加入了劳动大军。事实上,可以说,我们的教育是为了让我们为职业生涯做好准备。然而,谋生绝不是我们工作的唯一原因——还有其他重要的原因促使我们进入工作的世界。 Through the work we do. our goals can be attained and our dreams achieved. All of us have had dreams of one kind or another and work often enables us to pursue those dreams, Henry David Thoreau said, “... if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” Yang Liwei, for example, driven by his passion for flying, became a pilot and then China’s first astronaut in space. Wherever our interests may lie and whatever our career choices might be, work allows us the opportunity to be engaged in something we are fond of, and consequently, it can give us a great sense of achievement and satisfaction. 通过我们所做的工作,我们的目标可以达成,我们的梦想可以实现。我们每个人都有这样或那样的梦想,工作常常使我们能够追求那些梦想,亨利·戴维·梭罗曾说过:“······一个人若自信地朝他梦想的方向行进,努力过他设想的那种生活,那么他就会在平常的时刻与成功不期而遇。”以杨利伟为例,出于对飞行的热爱,他成了一名飞行员,然后成了中国第一位进入太空的航天员。无论我们的兴趣在哪里,无论我们的职业选择是什么,工作让我们有机会从事我们喜欢的事情,因此,它可以给我们一种巨大的成就感和满足感。 Work can also help develop our skills,
