下午好,各位打工人!
近日,“打工人”爆紅網(wǎng)絡(luò),受到各行各業(yè)年輕人的追捧,但這詞到底說(shuō)的是個(gè)啥?
“打工人”是那些依靠體力或技術(shù)的勞動(dòng)者的統(tǒng)稱(chēng)。除了賺錢(qián)這個(gè)最大的目標(biāo),別的啥也不想;他們意志堅(jiān)定,也不會(huì)遲到早退。
Dagong ren(laborer, commuter) is a general term for workers who engage in physical labor or are technically skilled. With making money as their first and only goal, laborers are a resolute group, and would never be caught arriving late to work or leaving early.
有網(wǎng)友說(shuō),“打工人”的說(shuō)法背后是千萬(wàn)草根的自嘲,他們壓力大、工作環(huán)境不如意。
不過(guò),“打工人”卻也不僅僅指代“藍(lán)領(lǐng)”,還包括普通職員和中高層管理人員(It applies to all kinds of employees, from blue-collar workers and low-level staff to managers and top executives)。
它沒(méi)有社畜(corporate slave)顯得那么慘,也沒(méi)打工仔(migrant worker)顯得那么卑微,透露出小人物在平凡生活中的不懈追求。
例句:
世上只有兩種最耀眼的光芒,一種是太陽(yáng),一種是打工人努力的模樣。
There are two exceptionally dazzling lights in this world. One is sunshine, and the other is the face of a diligent laborer!
