You look kind of… off today. Jamie: Ugh, I’ve just been in my head a lot lately. I got a message from a recruiter, and now I can’t stop thinking about it. Alex: Oh yeah? What kind of role? Jamie: A marketing manager position at a startup. The pay is a bit higher, but honestly… I keep talking myself out of it. Alex: How come? That sounds like a good opportunity. Jamie: I don’t know. What if I join and then get laid off six months in because I’m the new person? At least here I have job security. I know how things work. Alex: Ha, welcome to the “job hugger” club. Jamie: The what? Alex:Job hugging. It’s this thing where you stay at your current job — not because you love it, but because you’re scared to leave. Apparently like sixty percent of Americans are doing it right now. Jamie: Wait, seriously? I thought Americans were all about jumping from job to job. Alex: That’s the old stereotype. Things have changed. With AI shaking everything up and layoffs everywhere, people are just… holding on. Jamie: Honestly, that makes total sense. I’d rather deal with a boss I know than take a leap into the unknown. Alex: I get it. But don’t you think staying out of fear is kind of… settling? Jamie: Maybe. But settling feels a lot better than being unemployed. Alex: Fair point. Though I’d say it’s worth at least having the conversation with the recruiter. You don’t have to commit to anything. Jamie: You’re right. I guess I’m just overthinking it. I’ll sleep on it. Alex: That’s the spirit. Just don’t hug this job so tight you forget there are other options out there. 中文翻譯 Alex: 嘿,Jamie,你還好嗎?你今天看起來有點… 不對勁。 Jamie: 唉,我最近一直想東想西。一個獵人頭傳訊息給我,我就停不下來一直在想這件事。 Alex: 喔?什麼樣的職位? Jamie: 一家新創的行銷經理職缺。薪水高一點點,但說真的… 我一直說服自己算了。 Alex: 怎麼了?聽起來是個不錯的機會啊。 Jamie: 我也不知道。萬一我加入之後,因為是新人就六個月內被裁掉怎麼辦?至少在這裡我有工作保障,我知道事情怎麼運作。 Alex: 哈,歡迎加入「抱緊工作族」俱樂部。 Jamie: 什麼族? Alex: Job hugging,就是抱緊工作的意思。就是那種你留在現在的工作——不是因為喜歡,而是因為害怕離開。據說現在大概六成的美國人都在做這件事。 Jamie: 等等,認真的嗎?我以為美國人都超愛換工作的耶。 Alex: 那是舊刻板印象了。現在情況不一樣了。AI 把一切都攪亂了,到處都在裁員,大家就只是… 撐著。 Jamie: 說真的,這完全合理。我寧願應付一個我認識的老闆,也不想跳進未知的領域。 Alex: 我懂。但你不覺得留下來只是因為怕,有點… 將就嗎? Jamie: 也許吧。但將就感覺比失業好多了。 Alex: 有道理。不過我覺得至少可以跟那個獵頭聊聊看。你不需要答應任何事。 Jamie: 你說得對。我想我只是想太多了。我先睡一覺想想。 Alex: 對了。只是別把工作抱得太緊,忘了外面還有其他選擇。 ** 重點單字 Vocabulary Boost** recruiter / rɪˈkruːtər / (n.) → 獵頭;招聘人員 talk oneself out of sth (phr. v.) → 說服自己放棄某件事 job security (n.) → 工作保障 job hugger (n.) → 抱緊工作族(因為害怕而不敢離職的人) layoff / ˈleɪɔːf / (n.) → 裁員 stereotype / ˈstɛriəˌtaɪp / (n.) → 刻板印象 leap into the unknown (phr.) → 跳進未知領域;冒險一跳 settle / ˈsɛtl / (v.) → 將就;妥協 commit / kəˈmɪt / (v.) → 承諾;決定 sleep on it (phr.) → 先不急著決定,睡一覺想想 shake up (phr. v.) → 大幅改變;攪亂現狀 hold on (phr. v.) → 撐著;緊抓 重點句型 Sentence Patterns I keep talking myself out of it. → 我一直說服自己算了/打退堂鼓。 I keep talking myself out of applying for the promotion. (我一直說服自己別去申請晉升。) 替換詞:going(去做)/ asking for a raise(要求加薪) What if I join and then get laid off? → 萬一我加入之後被裁員怎麼辦? What if I quit and then can’t find anything new? (萬一我辭了,卻什麼都找不到怎麼辦?) 💡「What if…」是表達假設性擔憂的萬用句,比「If I… what will happen?」自然太多。 I’d rather deal with… than… → 我寧願面對…也不要… I’d rather deal with a long commute than a toxic workplace. (我寧願通勤很久,也不要待在有毒的工作環境。) With ___ shaking everything up… → 因為 ___ 把一切都攪亂了… With AI shaking everything up, no one feels safe anymore. (因為 AI 把一切都攪亂了,沒有人再感到安全。) 💡 這個句型也可以套用: With prices going up…(隨著物價上漲…) I’ll sleep on it. → 我先睡一覺想想。 Don’t pressure me for an answer now — I’ll sleep on it. (不要現在逼我回答——我先睡一覺想想。) 💡 比 Let me think about it 更自然道地! You don’t have to commit to anything. → 你不需要答應任何事。 Just go to the coffee chat — you don’t have to commit to switching jobs. (去那個非正式聊天就好——你不需要答應換工作。) Don’t hug [it] so tight you forget there are other options. → 別抱得太緊,忘了還有其他選擇。 Don’t hug your comfort zone so tight you forget to grow. (別把舒適圈抱得太緊,忘了成長。) 💡 這是從「job hugging」延伸出來的比喻用法,在說話時用到會讓人眼睛一亮! 【推薦】📝 賴世雄獨門英文法心法+圖表+練習一次搞懂 ➜ https://s.shopee.tw/AKO1JfgYp4 ☕ 如果內容有幫助 😊請我們喝杯咖啡支持創作: https://p.ecpay.com.tw/E34AEEA Overseas supporters https://buymeacoffee.com/mjenglish -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
