1
In a perfect world, when it came to choosing an occupation, we would have only two priorities in mind: Firstly, to find a job that we enjoyed.
2
and secondly to find a job that paid us enough to cover reasonable material needs.
3
But in order to think so freely, we would have to be emotionally balanced in a way that few of us actually are.
4
In reality, when it comes to choosing an occupation, we tend to be haunted by three additional priorities: we need to find a job
5
that will pay not just enough to cover reasonable material expenses, but a lot more besides: enough to impress other people,
6
even other people we don't like very much.
7
We also crave to find a job that will allow us not to be at the mercy of other people, whom we may deep down fear and distrust.
8
And, we hope for a job that will make us known.
9
esteemed, honoured and perhaps famous, so that we will never again have to feel small or neglected.
10
Needless to say, these three additional requirements make working life hugely more complicated
11
and unhappy than it would otherwise have needed to be.
12
No wonder we may get stuck choosing what to do.
13
Rather than being able to focus on the jobs that we are passionate about and that we would intrinsically enjoy, we have to twist our natures to appease extrinsic imperatives.
14
There is no way that we could, for example, work as a kindergarten teacher, a psychotherapist, a carpenter or a cook.
15
Our psychological drive to impress, to have power over others and to be known to strangers, preclude such relatively modest choices from the outset.
16
The state of our psyches means that we have to aim for far more stellar careers, even in fields we don't really much like,
17
and we may have to work much harder than is good for our health or our families.
18
We are prone to be constantly panicked because the bar for failing is so much higher.
19
A slight wind of disapproval from the public might be experienced as appalling.
20
A bit less money than the astronomical sum we made last year will register as fateful Under pressure, we may make unwise and hasty moves.
21
We might cut corners, involve ourselves in risky schemes, and not give our work the time and calm it needs.
22
What would enable us to make the right career choices is something that seems, on the face of it, to have nothing to do with work at all.
23
Love a profound experience of love in both childhood and adulthood.
24
A child who is properly loved is a creature who doesn't need to prove itself in any significant way.
25
It doesn't have to excel at school, dazzle acquaintances or shore up a parent's fragile sense of esteem.
26
It may do well at school anyway, but because it enjoys the work, not because it has to boost a parent.
27
It can find its way to its own pleasures.
28
It doesn't need to amaze because it's special enough just by existing.
29
It may end up working extremely hard, but it will do so because it is passionate, not because it craves applause.
30
It can concentrate on doing a job very well, while unimpeded by any worries as to whether it will be known in a hundred years or to people in another city.
31
It can potter away in obscurity, deriving gratification from the business at hand.
32
An experience of adult love further enhances the sense of security we need.
33
When someone properly loves us, their patience, concern and tenderness make us feel rooted and welcome on the earth.
34
It doesn't really matter if no one knows who we are
35
and if there's very little left over at the end of the month.
36
"Two people who are in love will be happy to sleep on a park bench," wrote DH Lawrence.
37
an idea which may not be literally true, but which conveys well enough what room for manoeuvre love gives us in relation to our material priorities.
38
It follows that when people crave power, fortune and fame, it isn't greed that's driving them, but an anguished feeling of being unloved,
39
for which we can feel enormous compassion.
40
They may look like winners ; they are in reality unhappy victims.
41
Excessive achievements are the legacy of an emotionally damaged sense that it isn't enough just to be.
42
It may have become second nature to us to try to fix emotional wounds through our career choices and exploits.
43
We may not even realise what we're up to.
44
We should dare to ask: what might I have done with my life if I had felt properly loved from the start?
45
And we may have to acknowledge, with tears in our eyes, how different our path would have been,
46
how many genuine ambitions we sacrificed in the name of shoring up a sense of acceptability we should have had from infancy.
47
The most astonishing career achievements will never compensate anyone for the lack of love they've suffered.
48
Work cannot fix a deficit of love.
49
we should enjoy work on its own terms, and in another part of our lives,
50
mourn and seek redemptive substitutes for the love we originally lacked.

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
在選擇職業時，我們常常面臨著多重壓力，這在影片中得到了深刻的分析。理解這些壓力不僅對職業選擇至關重要，還能幫助我們更好地表達自己的感受。通過模仿影片中的語句，學習者可以改善他們的英語口語表達，增強自信心，並找到自己真正熱愛的工作。此外，此影片也提供了一個英語影子跟讀的絕佳機會，讓學習者在真實的對話情境中練習口語技巧。
語法與表達在語境中的應用
- “需要找到一份能支付合理物質需求的工作” - 這裡的“需要”表達了強烈的必要性，適用於討論期望與職責。
- “例如，作為幼兒園老師、心理治療師等” - 此句展示了多重選擇的可能性，學習者可模仿該結構來討論自己的夢想職業。
- “缺乏愛所導致的情感創傷” - 使用“所導致的”與“情感創傷”這樣的組合，幫助學習者理解複雜的情感狀態，這在抒情表達時非常有效。
常見發音陷阱
影片中有幾個詞語發音較為複雜，容易導致學習者發音不準確。例如：“職業（occupation）”的正確發音是（ˌɑː.kjʊˈpeɪ.ʃən），而很多人可能會將其簡化。另一個常見的詞是“讚美（applause）”，其發音為（əˈplɔːz），注意母音部分的發音。此外，這段影片涉及的不同情感表達也可以幫助學習者提高英語發音，從而在雅思口語練習中表現得更加自如。
通過shadowing site的練習，學習者可以不斷地調整自身的語調和發音，專注於更自然的口語表達。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | be haunted · be known · will be known |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have needed · have done · they've suffered |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
