2013年美国什么工作最爽? 最好工种出炉

This year, several professions geared toward serving the financial and health needs of an aging population made the top ten, says Lee, including audiologist, financial planner, and physical therapist.
李说，今年有好几个服务于老龄化人口金融和医疗需求的工作挤进了前10名，包括听力矫治专家、理财规划师和理疗师。

As for the worst job of 2013? Newspaper reporter bumped last year's loser, lumberjack, for the ignominious distinction.
想知道2013年的最差工作是哪些吗？报社记者以其令人尴尬的特质，取代伐木工人成为今年的最差工作。

'It's been low for a while, says Lee (last year it was ranked 196 out of 200). 'What probably pushed it to the bottom is that several things got worse job prospects decreased, the average salary continued to fall, and work hours continued to rise. Those factors also make the job more stressful.'
李说，记者职业排名靠后已经有一段时间了(去年在200个职业中排名第196位)。他说，这次被挤到最后一位很可能是因为有些情况更糟了，如职业前景变差、平均薪资继续下滑、工作时间持续增加等，而且这些因素也让记者的压力更大。

But not every reporter (including this one) would agree with the final assessment.
但并非所有记者──比如笔者本人──都认同这个最终评估结果。

Rocco LaDuca, covers crime and courts at the Observer-Dispatch in Utica, New York. He says he became a reporter in part because of fond memories of reading newspapers with his grandmother.
拉杜卡(Rocco LaDuca)是纽约州尤蒂卡市(Utica)《观察家快报》(Observer-Dispatch)报道犯罪和法院新闻的记者。他说，之所以选择做记者，一定程度上是源于他和祖母读报的美好记忆。

Pay is an issue, he says (the median salary for reporters in 2010 was $36, 000); he's not sure he can raise a family and send kids to college on a reporter's salary. And yes, the stress and the hours can be taxing. But he says, 'I'm not sure I'd be happy in another setting. I can't think of any job that would be as exciting or as fulfilling as this.'
他说，薪酬是个问题（2010年记者的年薪中值为3.6万美元）。他不知道自己能否靠做记者的薪水供养家庭并送孩子上大学。而且还有一点没错，记者的压力和工作时间可能会令人感到精疲力竭。但他说，我不确定自己换个工作是否会开心，也想不出任何一个工作会像做记者这样让我觉得兴奋或有成就感。

'People in the community are affected by what I write, ' he says.
他说，我写的稿子影响着社区人们的生活。
