HT: A squiggly career is both full of uncertainty and full of possibility. Change is happening all of the time. Some of it is in our control, and some of it's not. Success isn't one-size-fits-all. Our squiggles are as individual as we are. And for me, that's meant a career where I've moved from working on foldable credit cards in one company -- they didn't catch on -- to building and launching a loyalty app for another，and that one is still going.
海伦·图珀：曲线型职业生涯充满了不确定性，同时也充满了可能性。变化无时无刻不在发生。有些是我们可以掌控的，有些则不是。成功是不可复制的。我们的职业曲线和我们自身一样独特。对我来说，这意味着，我的职业已经从在一家公司从事折叠信用卡相关工作——这种信用卡没有流行起来——变成为另一家公司构建并发布一款忠诚度软件，那款软件还在运作。
full of uncertainty and full of possibility 充满不确定性和可能性 one-size-fits-all 通用的，成功不是通用的，意译为成功是不可复制的 squiggles /ˈskwɪɡlz/ n. 胡乱写的字；vt. 潦草地写 individual /ˌɪndɪˈvɪdʒuəl/ adj. 个人的；个别的；独特的；n. 个人，个体 foldable /ˈfəʊldəbl/ adj. 可折叠的；可合拢的 credit /ˈkredɪt/ n. 信用，信誉；vt. 相信，信任 catch on /kætʃ ɒn/ 理解，明白；变得流行 launching /ˈlɔːntʃɪŋ/ n. 发射；"launch" 的现在分词
SE: And I've moved from making magazines to working on food waste, from a five- to a four-day week so I could spend more time on personal projects and volunteering. I've already had more jobs and worked in more organizations than my dad, and he's been working for twice as long as I have. And I'm the rule, not the exception.
萨拉·埃利斯：我已经从做杂志转向致力于解决食物浪费，从每周工作5天变成了每周工作4天，这样我就可以把更多的时间花在自己的事情和志愿工作上。我工作过的岗位比我父亲都多，供职过的机构也比他多，尽管他工作的时间是我的两倍。并非只有我一个人是这样，大多数人都是如此。
moved from A to B 从A转向B personal projects 个人项目，意译为自己的事情 volunteering:n.志愿活动;v.志愿(volunteer的ing形式） And I'm the rule, not the exception 字面意思是我是规则，不是例外，意译为我是普遍的，大多人都是我这样
HT: When we started to share the idea of squiggly careers with people, we were surprised by how much it stuck.
海伦·图珀：当我们开始和其他人分享我们关于曲线型职业生涯的想法时，我们惊讶于它是如此深入人心。
stuck /stʌk/ 原意是陷入，这里衍生为：深入人心
It seemed to give people something that perhaps they didn't even know that they needed, a way of describing both their experiences and their aspirations. Someone even told us that they took our book, which has a big squiggle on the front of it, into a job interview, as a way of describing their career so far. But we underestimated one big problem: the legacy of the ladder is all around us.
它似乎给了人们也许他们自己甚至(都)不知道自己需要的，一种描述他们职业经历和职业规划的方式。有人甚至告诉我们，他们把我们写的那本封面上有个很大的弯弯曲曲图案的书，带到了求职面试中，以此来描述他们之前的职业经历。可是我们低估了一个大问题：职业阶梯观念的遗留影响在我们身边随处可见。
aspiration /ˌæspəˈreɪʃn/ n.渴望，抱负，愿望 the legacy of ...的遗留影响， legacy常用意思是遗产，也可以作为遗留影响，后遗症
It's in the companies that we work in and the conversations that we have. It sounds like being asked in a job interview, "Where do you see yourself in five years' time?" It's the uncomfortable question of how we reward and motivate people who do a great job but don't want to be promoted. And it's the unfairness of our learning being unlocked by the level that we reach in an organization.
它存在于我们供职的公司中，体现在我们的谈话中。像是在面试中被问到，“设想一下五年之后的你的工作会怎样？”对于那些把工作做得很好但是并不想要晋升的人来说，这个有关如何奖赏、激励他们的问题听起来令人不快。这也是我们的学习受我们在一个组织内所做到的职位制约的不公平之处。
uncomfortable 不舒服的，这个单词不能作为身体不适，生病的不舒服，而是指心里上不舒服；或者身体物理上的膈应不舒服，比如凳子坐的屁股不舒服 motivate /ˈmoʊtɪveɪt/ vt.激励，奖赏 ，刺激 be promoted 晋升，这里注意要用被动语态，是被晋升 unfairness n.不公平
