Most Americans made work-related New Year's resolutions this year, be they to try to change jobs or get a raise or promotion at their current workplace, according to a survey released Friday.

　　周五發布的一項調查顯示，今年大部分美國人的新年決心與工作有關，比如說決定跳槽，或者是決心在現有公司獲得升職或加薪。

　　The survey, conducted by jobs websites Monster.com and HotJobs.com, found 98 percent of Americans polled were looking to make a change in their work situation in 2011.

　　招聘網站巨獸網和熱門職業網聯合進行的這項調查發現，98%的受訪美國人期待著2011年改變一下他們的工作現狀。

"Employers have been doing more with a lot less and people are getting fed up," said Charles Purdy, senior editor of the websites.　"Last year people were buckling down, and hoping the worst wouldn't happen, but now people are more optimistic about their job prospects," he said.

　　網站資深編輯查爾斯 珀迪說：“雇主們近來一直是少雇人，多做事。員工們現在也忍無可忍了。”他接著說：“去年人們都拼命工作，希望自己不會被炒魷魚。但是現在人們對他們的工作前景更有信心了。”

Sixty-six percent of those polled said they were looking for a new job with a new employer, 15 percent were hoping for a raise or promotion at their current employer and 17 percent were hoping to start their own business. Two percent said they were happy with the status quo.

　　66%的被調查者說他們在找新工作，15%的人希望在現有的工作崗位上獲得加薪或者升職，17%的人希望能開始創業，只有2%的人稱他們對現狀很滿意。
