新概念雙語(yǔ)：真相：夢(mèng)想中的職業(yè)卻承載了這么多心酸

1.Public school teacher

1.公立學(xué)校的老師

Teachers tend to be an easy target for many people who like to bellyache. "Teachers get summers off!", they'll say, oblivious to the fact that many teachers spend the remaining nine months of the year working an average of 53 hours per week, and earning between $41,000 and $47,000 per year. And many teachers actually spend their summers refreshing their credentials, and planning for the next year, so it's hardly a vacation.

對(duì)于很多喜歡發(fā)牢騷的人來(lái)說(shuō)，老師們更容易成為攻擊對(duì)象。他們會(huì)說(shuō)，“老師在暑假的時(shí)候不用上班”，但是他們沒(méi)注意到的是，很多老師在其余的9個(gè)月每周平均工作53個(gè)小時(shí)，每年收入在41000美元至47000美元之間。事實(shí)上，很多老師在暑假的時(shí)候會(huì)更新教案，規(guī)劃來(lái)年，因此幾乎沒(méi)有假期可言。

2.Pilots

2.飛行員

Can you imagine anything more stressful than having hundreds of lives in your hands as you steer a gigantic metallic bird through the air? Being a pilot may sound like fun, but when you consider just how much stress and pressure these men and women are under while performing the job, it may not sound like such a fun gig.

當(dāng)你駕駛一架巨型金屬飛行器翱翔天空，數(shù)百條生命落在了你的手中之時(shí)，你還能想出什么比更這有壓力的嗎?成為一名飛行員可能聽(tīng)起來(lái)很有意思，但是當(dāng)你想到他(她)們?cè)隈{駛時(shí)承受的壓力之時(shí)，這可能就不那么好玩了。

3.Actors and actresses

3.演員

Acting has to be an easy gig, right? You show up and say your lines.

表演是份很簡(jiǎn)單的工作，對(duì)嗎?你只需出場(chǎng)、說(shuō)臺(tái)詞就行。

Well, yes. That's partially true. But depending on your role, it may require much more than that. Just look at what some actors have to do to prepare. Leonardo DiCaprio, for example, did some ghastly things to prepare for The Revenant.

是的。部分是這樣。但是根據(jù)你的角色，有時(shí)候要求就會(huì)變高了?？纯匆恍┭輪T不得不做的準(zhǔn)備。如萊昂納多·迪卡普里奧為準(zhǔn)備拍攝《荒野獵人》而做一些可怕的事情。

4.Newspaper reporter

4.報(bào)紙記者

Journalism has hit hard times, and because of that, budgets have shrunk for local news departments across the country. That means reporters are required to do more with less, and do it all for less pay. Reporters, on average, only earn around $34,000 per year, and work 10 hours per day.

新聞業(yè)不夠景氣，因此全國(guó)的地方新聞機(jī)構(gòu)預(yù)算縮水。這就意味著記者們需要做得更多的工作，但是薪水更少。平均而言，記者們每年收入僅約34000美元，每天工作10個(gè)小時(shí)。
