文檔簡介
1、Will you be a worker or a laborer?你想做工作者還是勞役者?To be truly happy, a person must feel both free andimportant. People are never happy if they feelcompelled by society t
2、o do work they do not enjoy, orif what they do enjoy is ignored by society as havingno value or importance. In a society where slavery inthe strict sense h
3、as been abolished, the socialindications around work, the value of work and thesalary, have degraded many laborers into modernslaves - "wage slaves".一個(gè)人要想真正快樂,必須覺得自己既自由又重要。如果覺得自己是受社會(huì)逼迫而做自己不喜
4、歡的工作,或者自己喜歡的工作被認(rèn)為沒價(jià)值或不重要而遭社會(huì)忽視,那他絕不會(huì)快樂。在一個(gè)奴隸制度嚴(yán)格說來已經(jīng)被廢除的社會(huì)里,工作的社會(huì)含義、工作的價(jià)值和薪水,已經(jīng)把許多勞役者降格為現(xiàn)代奴隸“薪奴”。People are considered laborers if their job has an adverse effect on them, yet they feelcompelled to continue wor
5、king by the necessity of conforming to societal expectations andearning the revenue to support themselves and their families. The polar opposite of labor is play.When we
6、play a game, we enjoy what we are doing, but it is a purely private pastime; societydoes not care when or whether we play.如果人們的工作對(duì)自己有負(fù)面的影響,但為了遵從社會(huì)的期望或者掙錢養(yǎng)家糊口而被迫必須繼續(xù)工作,那么他們就被認(rèn)為是勞役者。勞役的對(duì)立
7、面是玩樂。當(dāng)我們玩游戲時(shí),我們很享受正在做的事情,但這僅僅是個(gè)人娛樂。社會(huì)對(duì)我們何時(shí)玩樂或者是否玩樂并不關(guān)心。Between labor and play stands work. People are labeled as workers if their personal interestscoincide with the jobs society pays them to
8、0;do; what is necessary labor from the point of viewof society is voluntary play from the individual's personal point of view. Whether a job is to bedesignated a
9、s labor or work depends, not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individualwho undertakes it. The difference does not, for example, correlate with the d
10、ifference betweena manual and mental job or between jobs of low or high esteem; a gardener covered in dirt ina greenhouse may be a worker while a well-dressed c
11、ity mayor may prove to be an unhappylaborer!處于勞役和玩樂之間的就是工作。如果人們的個(gè)人興趣跟社會(huì)付酬讓他們做的工作相吻合,他們就被稱為工作者。社會(huì)上看來一定是苦工的事情對(duì)個(gè)人來說卻是自在的玩樂活動(dòng)。一份活到底應(yīng)定為工作還是勞役并不取決于其本身,而是承擔(dān)這份活的個(gè)人感受。比如,二者的區(qū)別與是體力活還是腦力活或尊嚴(yán)的高低沒有關(guān)聯(lián)。溫室里滿身塵土的園丁可能是工作者,而衣冠楚楚的市長則可能是一個(gè)不開心的勞役者!People's attitude toward&
12、#160;their work determineseverything. To workers, leisure means simply thehours they need to relax and rest in order to workefficiently. Workers are therefore more prone todedicate
13、 more time to working, taking too littleleisure rather than too much. To laborers, on theother hand, leisure means autonomy fromcompulsion, so it is natural for them
14、;to imagine thatthe fewer hours they have to spend laboring, and themore hours they have free for play, the better.人們對(duì)自己工作的態(tài)度決定了一切。對(duì)工作者而言,閑暇只是為了更有效地工作而需要放松休息的時(shí)間。因此,工作者更傾向于投入更多的時(shí)間工作,而花在休閑上的時(shí)間并非很多,而是很少。而對(duì)勞役者
15、而言,休閑意味著從被迫狀態(tài)中得到自主。因此,他們自然會(huì)想,花在勞作上的時(shí)間越少,自在玩樂的時(shí)間越多,則越好。Besides the mere hours spent in leisure, workers and laborers differ in the amount of personalsatisfaction they derive from their jobs. Worke
16、rs who enjoy their jobs will be happier, lessstressed, and generally more satisfied with their lives. They will also work with more diligenceand precision because they ha
17、ve fostered a sense of personal pride in their jobs. On the otherhand, laborers, whose sole incentive is earning their livelihood, feel that the time they spend onth
18、e daily grind is wasted and doesn't contribute to their happiness. Instead of valuing all 24hours of their day as enjoyable and productive hours, they gauge only
19、;the time spent inleisure and play as meaningful. Unfortunately, laborers are all too commonplace, and only asmall percentage of the population is in the lucky position o
20、f being workers.除了花在閑暇上的時(shí)間不同,工作者和勞役者的區(qū)別還在于他們從工作中獲得的個(gè)人滿足感不同。工作者喜歡自己的工作,感覺更快樂,更輕松,通常對(duì)自己的生活更滿意。他們工作起來也會(huì)更勤奮,更精細(xì),因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)自己的工作已經(jīng)產(chǎn)生了一種自豪感。相反,由于勞役者的唯一動(dòng)力是掙生活費(fèi),他們覺得每天花在苦差上的時(shí)間是一種浪費(fèi),不會(huì)讓自己快樂。他們不把每天的 24 小時(shí)都當(dāng)作愉快有用的時(shí)光,認(rèn)為只有花在休閑娛樂上的時(shí)間才是有意義的。不幸的是,勞役者太常見了,只有一小部分人能有幸成為工作者。In recent decades, techno

24、aristocracy. Themedieval aristocrats had an abundance of leisure time but often wasted it in trivial pursuit ofgames and fashion. Likewise, modern-day laborers with too much l

26、0;habits that waste valuable time.近幾十年,技術(shù)創(chuàng)新和勞動(dòng)分工使許多領(lǐng)域不再需要專長或特殊技能,導(dǎo)致了重大經(jīng)濟(jì)變革,把許多可以通過開心工作來掙錢的職業(yè)變成了枯燥的勞役。隨著自動(dòng)化機(jī)器如機(jī)器人的使用,日益提高的生產(chǎn)力減少了必要的勞作時(shí)間??梢韵胂?,在即將到來的社會(huì)中,大多數(shù)人會(huì)擁有同早期中世紀(jì)貴族一樣多的閑暇時(shí)間。中世紀(jì)貴族有大量的閑暇時(shí)間,但卻往往耗費(fèi)在玩游戲和對(duì)時(shí)尚的無聊追求上。同樣,有太多閑暇時(shí)間的現(xiàn)代勞役者們會(huì)覺得很難擺脫那些無聊又易上癮的追求,像名人八卦、奢華時(shí)尚、過度電子游戲和電視等諸如此類浪費(fèi)寶貴時(shí)間的壞習(xí)慣
