什么样的工作才是真正的好工作

2010-08-20来源:和谐英语

  Asked what job they would take if they could have any, people unleash their imaginations and dream of exotic places, powerful positions or work that involves alcohol and a paycheck at the same time.

  如果能选择,你会做什么工作?对于这个问题,人们会充分施展想象力,幻想在异国他乡身居高位,或从事一边喝酒一边拿工资的事情。

  Or so you'd think.

  大概你也这么想。

  None of that appeals to Lori Miller who, as a lead word processor, has to do things that don't seem so dreamy, including proofreading, spell checking and formatting. But she loves it.

  可是这些全都没有让首席文字处理员Lori Miller心动。她的工作似乎不那么美妙,比如校正、拼写核对及整理格式。可是她却乐在其中。

  "I like and respect nearly all my co-workers, and most of them feel the same way about me," she says. "Just a few things would make it a little better," she says, including a shorter commute and the return of some great people who used to work there. And one more thing: She'd appreciate if everyone would put their dishes in the dishwasher.

  她说:"我喜欢并尊敬所有同事,他们多数人对我也是一样的感觉。只需一点点改进就能让这份工作更好了。"她所指的包括:上班距离更近;过去跳槽的好职员能回来;另外,她希望大家都把用过的碗碟放入洗碗机内。
