为什么你会成为职场剩女?

2012-01-09来源:和谐英语

  1.Having A Job Where You Sit All Day

  成天端坐身材走样

  A study last month found that sitting for long periods of time can actually expand your ass. “Fat cells seemed to thrive on the inactivity, infiltrating the muscle, and creating thick ‘stripes’ of fat,” the Daily Mail reported. The safest course is to quit your office job and become employed as an aerobics instructor.

  上个月,一份新研究出炉,证实了长期坐在位子上会使屁股变大。《每日邮报》的报道称,“肥胖细胞在不常运动的人身上尤其活跃,赘肉挤掉肌肉,造成浑身横肉的囧样。”最好的变身办法可能就是辞去坐办公室的工作,去应聘当个健身教练了。

  2.Negotiating

  女人谈判人人厌

  Women who negotiate aggressively for higher salaries are socially penalized more than men who do the same, according to research by the author of the important book “Women Don’t Ask.” "People are less likely to like them,” Linda Babcock told NPR. “if they negotiate in a job interview, they are less likely to hire them. There are real social sanctions that occur when women initiate negotiations."

  如果女人气势冲冲地跑去谈判要求加薪,那么大家就会对她另眼相看。反之,如果男人这么做的话,社会反倒比较宽容。畅销书《女人不问》的作者琳达-巴布科克告诉美国公共广播电台(NPR)说,“人们不喜欢谈判的女人。如果在求职面试中,女人和面试官谈判的话,那么她们大概就不会被录用了。如果女人谈判的话,的确很难得到社会的认可。”

  3.Getting A Raise

  加薪工资赚得多

  In most major cities, young single women now out-earn men by about 8%. No wonder they’re single! Ladies, men are too insecure to handle it if you earn more than them. If you want to catch a guy, keep that salary low, low, low.

  在大多数主要的大城市中,现在,年轻的单身女性的薪水要要比男性高出8%。这就难怪她们嫁不出去了。女人比男人赚得多,男人就会很没有安全感。如果你真想找个人嫁了,那就赚得少一点,再少一点吧。
