外国人眼中:那些高薪却超孤独的工作

from 一席英语·脱口秀:老外来了

主播:Selah(美国)+ Maelle(法国) 音乐:Alonica最近,一个话题在国内引发了很多讨论——“工资高但是很孤独的工作”。These are jobs that offer a lot of money (收入很高), but sometimes very little social life (但往往社交非常少).这听起来是不是既现实又有点扎心?01. What Are Lonely Jobs?什么是“高薪但孤独的工作”?很多网友提到的一类工作是:长期驻外。这类工作requires working overseas for long periods of time (需要长期在海外工作的岗位)。有些人一年到头都在国外,甚至节假日也只能一个人度过:Even during holidays, they might spend time alone instead of celebrating with loved ones.长期和家人分开,确实会带来很大的情感压力:“Being far from family for months or even years can feel very lonely(长时间远离家人,会让人感到非常孤独。)”还有一些工作,是“物理上的孤独”。比如守岛人:Imagine waking up every day and seeing the ocean, but almost no people (但几乎看不到人)。听起来很治愈,但时间久了:“The lack of daily conversation can feel very isolating.”(缺乏日常交流会让人越来越孤独。)还有一些高压技术岗位,比如保密工作:highly confidential (高度保密) and very stressful。很多人几乎没有时间维持社交关系(maintain friendships)。还有一些比较特殊的职业,比如:mortician(入殓师) crime scene cleaner(凶宅清理师) 这些工作收入不错,但:“These jobs are not only lonely but sometimes emotionally heavy as well.”(不仅孤独,而且心理负担也很重。)02. High-paid jobs from the US and France 美国和法国的一些高薪岗位那在国外,有哪些类似的工作?在美国,有一个典型例子是:deep-sea welder(深海焊工)“These workers repair underwater equipment, sometimes hundreds of feet below the surface.”(他们在水下数百英尺进行设备维修。)这个工作非常危险,但收入也很高。另一个例子是:air traffic controller(空中交通管制员)虽然薪资高,但压力极大:“They must stay focused for long periods of time, and the responsibility is huge.”(需要长时间保持专注,而且责任非常重大。)在法国,也有一些类似的工作。比如手工艺人:artisans(手工艺人)像面包师、奶酪师,甚至建筑行业的工人:“They often wake up very early, like 3 or 4 am, and work long hours.”(他们通常凌晨三四点就要起床,工作时间很长。)其实在很多情况下:“Skilled manual workers can earn more than office workers.”(技术型体力劳动者,收入可能高于办公室工作者。)03. Would You Choose One?你会选择这样的工作吗?接下来就是一个很现实的问题:Would you choose money or connection with people?(你会选择金钱,还是人与人之间的连接?)Selah 的回答很直接:“I would much rather choose connection with people.”(我更愿意选择人与人之间的连接。)她也提到一个现实情况:有些人为了钱放弃关系,最后却发现:“They are so isolated and unhappy.”(变得孤独而不快乐。)Maelle的看法是:“I would not be able to do it for a long period of time.”(我很难长期做这样的工作。)她用了一个很形象的词:Thrive:如鱼得水、充分发挥才能“I thrive in environments where I can connect with people.”(在可以和人建立连接的环境中,我才能发挥得更好。)当然,也有人适合这样的生活方式。“Some people enjoy independence and quiet time.”(有些人喜欢独立和安静。)但从整体来看:“Humans are social beings.”(人是社会性动物。)长期缺乏交流,可能会带来心理压力。04. Health Risks of Loneliness 孤独的健康影响孤独不仅仅是情绪问题。“Long-term loneliness can affect both mental and physical health.”(长期孤独会影响心理和身体健康。)有些人甚至会在社交场合感到紧张或者不知道如何沟通。 They might miss social cues (领会不到社交信号) or feel uncomfortable in group settings.这需要人们学会在金钱和身心健康之间找到平衡。05. Career Choice and Passion 职业选择与热爱节目中还有一个很有意思的问题:如果可以选择另一份工作,你会选什么?Maelle的答案是 psychology,心理学。因为她喜欢connecting and helping people.(与人建立连接,并帮助别人。)Selah 则选择了摄影,尤其是旅行摄影。She really admires photography and loves to travel.(我非常热爱摄影,也喜欢旅行。)虽然她也笑着说:“I have no talent (天赋) haha.”Career choices are not always about money.有时候,也是关于:passion(热爱) lifestyle(生活方式) 欢迎在评论区留言:Would you choose a high-paying but lonely job?你会选择一份高薪但孤独的工作吗?
