主持人:上午好,韦斯特先生。很高兴你能参加我们的节目。
Interviewee: Good morning.

主持人:那么,韦斯特先生,人们真正想从工作中得到的是什么呢?关于适合自己的工作,人们的具体想法是什么样的?
Interviewee: Well, to answer your questions, I'd like to look at two polls, two surveys. They were both done in the 1990s.

Interviewer: Umm. What were they?
主持人:嗯。是什么?
Interviewee: Some of you might guess that the answer is obvious.
受访者:有些人可能会认为答案是显而易见的。
Interviewer: I think so.
主持人:我想是的。
Interviewee: You might say "oh people just want higher salaries, more money." But let's see if that's true.
受访者:你可能会说:“哦,人们只是想要更高的薪水,更多的钱。”不过我们来看看这是不是真的。

Interviewee: And they were only allowed to choose one out of the five items.
受访者:只能选一项。
Interviewer: So what were the five items?
主持人:那这五个项目是什么?
Interviewee: Alright. The first item was important and meaningful work. The second was high income. The third was chances for advancement, promotion and so on.
受访者:第一项是重要而有意义的工作。第二个是高收入。第三种是晋升之类的机会。
Interviewee: The fourth item was job security, and the fifth was shorter work hours, OK?
受访者:第四个项目是工作保障,第五个是短工时。
Interviewer: It would be interesting to know the survey results.
主持人:调查结果一定很有趣。
Interviewee: Yes, now let me tell you the results. 50% considered important and meaningful work the most important characteristic of a job. They didn't choose high income.
受访者:是的,现在我来告诉你结果。50%的受访者认为重要和有意义的工作是工作最重要的特征。他们没有选择高收入。
Interviewee: Interesting. Anyway, 24% did say high income was the most important characteristic of a job. Of the remaining, 16% said chances for advancement was most important.
受访者:真有趣。24%的人认为高收入是工作最重要的特征。剩下的16%的人认为晋升的机会是最重要的。
