Question

【题目】 Most people cannot choose their jobs. They only have their jobs forced upon (被迫) them. This may be because they haven’t enough training for any other job, or because of economic situation, or because they live in a place where there is a limited choice of jobs, or because their fathers and grandfathers have always followed a certain occupation. The Indian born of farmer parents in a village has, for example, few opportunities of becoming anything but a farmer.

But if one is lucky enough to be able to choose the job one is going to do, how should one make one’s choice? One’s choice clearly depends on what one wants to get out of one’s job.

Some people believe that nobody can do a job well if they do not enjoy it. But this is probably true only of certain types of work. And there are those who have an ability for turning their job into something that is an enjoyable way of earning their living (挣钱生计), but who do not really do their work well. Some doctors, for example, who become rich and famous men are in fact not owning humanity (人性) which is necessary in their job, and may even not be especially skilled at their job. So are some lawyers. Perhaps many of the best doctors, lawyers, and teachers spend their lives working so hard for others that do not have time to become rich and famous. One must decide, when choosing a job, whether one wants to do a job for its own sake (为工作本身) or for the rewards (报酬) it offers.

【解析】

文章大意：大多数人不能选择他们的工作。他们的工作只能强迫他们做。这可能是因为他们没有足够的培训来从事其他工作，或者是因为经济状况，或者是因为他们生活在一个工作选择有限的地方，或者是因为他们的父辈和祖父总是从事某种职业。但是，如果一个人足够幸运，能够选择自己要做的工作，他应该如何做出选择？一个人的选择显然取决于他想从工作中得到什么。例如，一些富有而出名的医生，实际上并不具备他们工作所必需的人性，甚至可能对他们的工作也不是特别熟练。也许许多最好的医生、律师和教师一生都在为那些没有时间致富成名的人努力工作。在选择工作时，必须决定是为了自己的工作还是为了它提供的报酬。
