北师大版高中英语新教材(选择性必修第三册)课文（Unit 7 | LESSON 3) 英汉对照 Lesson 3 Meet the New Boss: You 第三课 遇见新老板：你 Up until the 1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents’ footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them. You’d follow your father to sea, onto the farm or into the workshop. You’d follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room. In your grandparents’ time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long. 一直到 20 世纪 80 年代，在很多国家人们往往子承父业，参与家族生意，或选 择与父母从事同一职业。你可能会像父亲一样出海、去农场、进车间，也可能会 像妈妈一样进厨房、去缝纫室。在你祖父母的时代，人们的预期是从毕业到退休 都做同样的工作。现在时代变了!如今大多数人不再想子承父业，甚至不愿长时 间做同一份工作。 In fact, planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn’t practical anymore.

You might be able to keep your job if you finish what you are asked to do, but this is hardly a recipe for great career success. Instead, you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.
