- 英譯漢 Quality of life is about more than the size of your pay cheque. It means being able to spend an evening with your family once a week--instead of keeping one parent at home with the kids while the other works, and then exchanging a few words when you switch roles halfway through the day. It means being able to request working hours that allow you to travel when buses are running so you do not have to walk miles to get to work. Those things matter to workers. When someone on a low wage talks about finding a better job, better pay is just part of the mix. This is why campaigns groups across America are trying to win better conditions--enabling mployees to address questions of health, safety and life quality, alongside their wage gains. Short-notice rotas, as much as low pay or unsafe conditions, are central to a spate of protests across the US.

這些事情對(duì)勞動(dòng)者來(lái)說(shuō)很重要。當(dāng)一個(gè)薪水較低的人談起找一份更好的工作時(shí)，更高的薪資僅僅是部分因素。這就是為什么美國(guó)各地的活動(dòng)團(tuán)體一直在努力爭(zhēng)取更好的工作條件——讓雇員在獲得漲薪的同時(shí)，也能夠解決健康、安全和生活質(zhì)量方面的問(wèn)題。臨時(shí)排班與低薪和不安全的工作條件一樣，是美國(guó)各地大量抗議活動(dòng)主要針對(duì)的問(wèn)題。

- 8 【英譯漢】 Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to zone out from the actual driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has. This is the well-traveled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route. The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.
