In squiggly careers, there is room for everybody to succeed. And no two squiggles are the same. The ladder has been holding us back for far too long. But it's not easy to change something that's been around for over 100 years. What we need now is more than a radical rethink. We need a radical redo, and change comes from action.

在曲线型职业生涯中,每个人都有成功的机会。没有哪两条曲线完全相同。职业阶梯已经阻碍我们太久了。但要改变已经存在了100多年的东西并不容易。我们现在需要的不仅仅是彻底的重新思考。我们需要彻底的改弦更张,而改变来自行动。

radical /ˈrædɪkl/n. 自由基;adj. 根本的 redo /ˌriːˈduː/vt. 重做;重新装饰

SE: Together, we have an ambition to make careers better for everyone. And we've seen just what's possible when people let go of the ladder. We see people who define their own success and take control of their careers. And we see organizations who benefit from adaptable employees who are curious, confident and continually learning.

萨拉·埃利斯:我们有一个共同的远大目标:让每个人都能有更好的职业发展。我们已经看到了摒弃职业阶梯带来的可能性。我们看到那些自己定义成功并掌控自己职业生涯的人。我们看到适应性强的员工使组织获益,这些员工好奇心强、充满自信、持续学习。

have an ambition to 有雄心做.... adaptable /əˈdæptəbl/adj. 有适应能力的,能适应的

HT: We want to ask you to become an advocate for squiggly careers. You might be a manager who could help somebody to explore their career possibilities. Or maybe you're a mentor and you can give someone the confidence to see how they can use their talents in new ways. And now that we're all teachers, let's share what we know so that everybody can succeed.

海伦·图珀:我们希望你也能成为一个曲线型职业生涯的倡导者。可能你是一个主管,可以帮助别人探索他们职业发展的可能性。又或者是一位导师,可以给予别人信心,让他们知道如何运用新的方式发挥自己的才能。既然我们都是知识的传授者,就让我们分享我们所知道的,让每个人都能获得成功。

SE: It's finally time for us all to step off the ladder and into the squiggle.

萨拉·埃利斯:终于到了我们所有人都该从 “晋升阶梯” 上走下来,拥抱 “蜿蜒曲折” 的时刻了。
