SE: Career ladders were created as a way to manage and motivate a whole new generation of workers -- in the early 1900s. And that world of conformity and control from over 100 years ago is unrecognizable today, especially when we consider only six percent of people in the UK now work nine-to-five. We can all expect to have five different types of career. And the World Economic Forum estimates that 50 percent of the skills that we have right now won't be relevant by 2025.
萨拉·埃利斯：职业阶梯作为管理和激励新一代员工的一种方式——诞生于20世纪初。而当今世界，人们已经不再需要像100多年前那么严格遵守社会规范，尤其英国现在只有6%的人朝九晚五地工作就足以证明这一点。我们每个人都有会从事五种不同类型职业的可能。世界经济论坛估计，到2025年，我们现在掌握的技能中有50%将不再有用。

HT: Ladders are limiting. They limit learning and they limit opportunity, and if organizations don't lose the ladder, they will lose their people, the people that are always adapting, that never stop learning and who are open to the opportunities that come their way. 2020 disrupted the way that all of us work, and none of us know what will happen next. But one thing we can be confident about is that the ladder is a redundant concept of careers.
海伦·图珀：职业阶梯是限制性的。它限制了学习，也限制了机会，如果组织不摒弃职业阶梯，他们就会失去自己所拥有的人才，那些总能适应变化的人，那些从不停止学习的人，以及那些对面前的机遇持开放态度的人。2020年改变了我们所有人的工作方式，谁也不知道接下来会发生什么。但有一点我们可以确信，阶梯这个职业生涯概念已经淘汰了。
lose /luːz/ 常用意思是失去，这里也表示摒弃，丢弃 disrupted /dɪsˈrʌptɪd/ adj. 被破坏的；扰乱的；（是 disrupt 的过去分词形式，常用作形容词表示相应状态）；v. 破坏；扰乱（disrupt 的过去式及过去分词形式） redundant /rɪˈdʌndənt/ adj. 多余的，过剩的 concept /ˈkɒnsept/ n. 观念，概念
SE: Losing the ladder starts with redefining our relationship with learning at work. We all now have the chance to curate our own curriculums, and we can be really creative about what that looks like, whether it's the TED Talks that you're watching, the books and blogs you're reading, the podcasts you're listening to. Your learning is personal to you. And the good news is, your development is no longer dependent on other people.
萨拉·埃利斯：摒弃阶梯要从重新定义我们与工作中学习的关系开始。我们现在都有机会规划我们自己的课程，课程可以是各式各样的，可以是你正在看的TED演讲，你正在看的书或博客，也可以是你正在听的播客。你的学习是个性化的。好事是，你的发展不再依赖于别人。

HT: Our learning can't be limited by the level we reach in an organization or only available to the fortunate few. It's not the responsibility of a single department, and it doesn't just happen when you go on a course. No one has a monopoly on wisdom. In squiggly careers, everybody is a learner, and everybody is a teacher.
海伦·图珀：我们的学习不能被我们在一个组织中所做到的职位所限制，也不能只为少数幸运儿所独有。这不仅仅是一个部门的责任，也不该只在你学习某一门课程的时候如此。没有人能垄断知识。在曲线型职业生涯中，每个人都是学习者，每个人都是知识的传授者。
