【政经一日闻】六个字总结你的工作 　　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 2012. 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2012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： 　　bull; Thankless, but everyone needs an assistant. 　　毫无感激之情的使用助理 　　bull; Middle school counselor. Teenage angst specialist. 　　中学教导处主任，小学生焦虑专员 　　bull; Between windows, alt-tabbing the hours. 　　窗口之间，蹉跎时间 　　bull; Who doesn’t love the payroll lady? 　　人见人爱的财务小姐 　　bull; Helping patients die comfortably comforts me. 　　让病人安详的离开让我感到安慰 　　bull; Work as bartender and marriage counselor. 　　同时兼顾酒保和婚姻介绍人 　　bull; Amateur chocolatiermaking life little sweeter. 　　巧克力业余爱好者，让生活更甜美 　　bull; You want it done by when? 　　最晚啥时候? 　　A few contestants describe their, or their bosses’, management techniques: 　　某些形容他们自己的老板管理技术的话: 　　bull; Led in whispers, from a distance. 　　远远的小声和你说 　　bull; Asked for ideas and used them. 　　你出主意他领功 　　bull; Integrity mixed with dose of tact! 　　整合各种策略 　　bull; Kicked my a** because he cared! 　　他的地盘他做主 　　Noting that his magazine’s Six-Word Memoir projects on various topics over the past five years have drawn more than half a million responses from the U.S., Great Britain, and Canada, Smith predicts that distilling one’s work life down to its essence will prove to be addictive.
