7、工作使我快乐 1.The

　　1.The table clearly reflects the statistics of staff’s job
　　satisfaction in a certain company.
　　这张表格清楚反映了某公司员工工作满意度的统计数据。
　　2.According to the data given above, we may conclude that
　　the percentage of people satisfied with their jobs is highest
　　among those over 50 years old, at about 40%.
　　根据给出的数据，我们可以看 出 50 岁以上的人工作满意度
　　最高，约为 40%。
　　3.In contrast, the percentage of the staff not satisfied with their
　　jobs is about 64% among those in their forties, the highest
　　among all the three age groups.
　　相反，41 至 50 岁之间的人在三个群体中不满意度最高，约
　　为 64%。
　　4.The major determinant of satisfaction lies in people’s various
　　attitudes.
　　主要的决定因素是人们的态度。
　　5.On the one hand, staff members in their forties usually have
　　to undertake a lot of responsibilities from both their families
　　and their career.
　　一方面，41 至 50 岁之间的员工通常不得不承担来自于家
　　庭和职业的双重责任。
　　6.Sometimes they are even under pressure to pursue money,
　　power, high social status, and so on, which are all symbols of
　　success.
　　有时他们甚至承受着获取金钱、权力、较高的社会地位等压力，
　　而这些都象征着成功。
　　7.So, they have the least satisfaction in their job.
　　因此，他们对工作的满意度最低。
　　8.On the other hand, people over generally have shifted their
　　life’s goals from achieving the ultimate success to a relatively
　　easy and comfortable life, and therefore are inclined to be
　　much more satisfied with their jobs.
　　另一方面，50 岁以上的人通常已经将人生目标从最终的成
　　功转变为一种相对轻松、舒适的生活，因而更容易对工作感到
　　满意。
　　9.In view of the above reasoning, I am convinced that it is
　　difficult for everyone to be content with their job. And it is
　　advisable that people should adjust expectations for work, and
　　that companies should pay more attention to the welfare of
　　their staff.
　　鉴于上述论证，我认为很难做到每个人都对工作满意。建议人
　　们调整对工作的期望，而企业也应对员工的幸福多加重视。
