Talk about getting straight to the point. Most of us could write a book when asked what we do for a living and how we feel about it. But if you were to boil it all down to six words, what would you say?That's the topic of a contest cosponsored by Smith magazine and consulting giant Mercer. The submissions judged to be the cleverest will appear in a book called Six Words About the Work Life, due out in early 2017. A few top winners will also receive prizes like iPads and PlayBooks. But, says the magazine's founder Larry Smith, "most people just like to share their story." 说到讲正题，我们当中的大多数人可以就我们自己的工作以及我们对工作的感触写一本书。但是如果只给你6个字，你会怎么说呢？这次这个活动由Smith杂志和资讯巨头Mercer联合赞助，那些被认为是最聪明的形容内容会在2017年被放到一本叫做《有关于工作和生活的6个词》的书里。一些写的实在是很好的人就会获得类似于Ipad和Playbook之类的奖品。但是Smith杂志的创始人表示：其实大多数人只是想发泄一下。 Some of the entries so far: 这里列举一些现有的条目： • "Thankless, but everyone needs an assistant." 毫无感激之情的使用助理 • "Middle school counselor. Teenage angst specialist." 中学教导处主任，小学生焦虑专员 • "Between windows, alt-tabbing the hours." |
