翻译为中文：
For most of us,work is the central,dominating fact of life.We spend more than half our conscious hours at work,preparing for work,travelling to and from work.What we do there largely determines our standard of living and to a considerable extent the status we are accorded by our fellow citizens as well.It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important,the indignities and injustices of work can be pushed into a corner,that because most woork is pretty intolerable,the people who do it should compensate for its boredom,frustrations and humiliations by concentraing hopes on the other parts of their lives.

对我们绝大多数人来说，工作是生活中重要且主要的事实。我们在工作上花费了超过一半的清醒时间，准备工作，上班下班。我们在那做的，很大程度上决定了我们生活的质量，而且，在一定范围内，我们也被市民赋予一定的身份地位。有时候人们说，因为假期开始变得越来越重要，工作中的不妥和不公正将被推向困境。那样说是因为大部分工作是相当难以忍受的，做这些的人需要生活中其他可以期待的希望来补偿工作的枯燥，受挫以及耻辱。
