SE: And this is not a one-way street. We need support from the people that we work for and the organizations that we work in. And we've seen how this can work in practice at a food manufacturer called Cook. They have something called the "Dream Academy." And in this academy, their colleagues can explore any career that they're intrigued by, in or out of the organization, and even rediscover abandoned ambitions. It could be to try stand-up comedy, to write their first children's book, to move from marketing to finance, become the CEO.
萨拉·埃利斯:这不是你一个人的事。需要我们上司和我们所在的组织的支持。我们已经在一家叫烹调的食品制造企业看到了上司和组织的支持是如何在实践中发挥作用的。他们设立了一个“梦想学院”。在这个学院里,他们的同事可以探索自己感兴趣的无论组织内外的任何职业,甚至重新发现自己早已抛弃的远大抱负。可能是尝试喜剧脱口秀,写第一本儿童读物,从市场营销岗转到财务岗,成为首席执行官。
And this is not a one-way street 不是单行道,意译为不是你一个人的事 manufacturer /ˌmænjuˈfæktʃərə(r)/ n. 生产商;生产者;制造者 academy /əˈkædəmi/ n. 学院;研究院;学会;专科院校 intrigued /ɪnˈtriːɡd/ adj. 好奇的;v. 引起… 的兴趣;(intrigue 的过去分词) rediscover /ˌriːdɪˈskʌvə(r)/ vt. 重新发现;再发现 abandoned /əˈbændənd/ adj. 被抛弃的;(abandon 的过去式和过去分词) ambitions /æmˈbɪʃnz/ n. 野心;雄心;抱负 (ambition 的复数) stand-up comedy /ˈstænd ʌp ˈkɒmədi/ 喜剧脱口秀
Nothing is off the table. One employee said, "The Dream Academy didn't open doors for me. It helped me to have the confidence to open them for myself." In career ladders, our identity can become about the titles that we've held, rather than the talents that we have. Everyone is talented, and we can use those talents in many ways. We don't need to constrain our careers. In the words of my favorite band, Fleetwood Mac, "You can go your own way."
没有什么是不可以的。一位员工说,“虽然‘梦想学院’没有为我打开一扇扇门。但它使我有信心去自己打开它们。”在职业阶梯上,我们的身份,由我们拥有的头衔,而非我们拥有的才能决定。我们每个人都有才能,我们可以在很多地方运用这些才能。我们无需限制自己的职业选择。正如我最喜欢的乐队——佛利伍麦克所说,“你可以走自己的路。”
constrain /kənˈstreɪn/ vt. 驱使;强迫;束缚;限制;约束(常搭配如 “constrain sb. to do sth.” 表示 “强迫某人做某事” 等)。
HT: One of the things that sticks with me from my time at Microsoft is that I'd go into the office, and I'd see a sign that said, "Come as you are and do what you love." And this was more than just words on a wall.
海伦·图珀:微软的工作经历中有一件事至今我仍记忆犹新。走进办公室就可以看到一个标语,上面写着:“做你自己,做你所爱。”它不仅仅是墙上的一行文字。
As a non-techie with a podcast on the side, I certainly brought something different to the organization. But my uniqueness was embraced, and there was no pressure to fit a perfect mold. I felt like I could be open about what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go, even if that was different to everybody else.
作为一个做播客为副业的非技术人员,我给组织带来了一些不同的东西。但组织接纳了我的独特性,我不会被迫要和别人一样。我觉得我可以对我想做的事情,和我想去工作的岗位保持开放的心态,即便和其他人不一样。
uniqueness /juˈniːknəs/ n. 独特性;独一无二;单值性 embraced /ɪmˈbreɪst/ adj. 被接受的;被采纳的;被拥护的;v. 包含;拥抱;接受(embrace 的过去式及过去分词形式) mold /məʊld/ vt. 塑造;使成形;用模子制作;影响;n. 霉菌;模子;(人的)性格,气质 fit a perfect mold 适合完美的模具,这里意译为和别人一样
