Interviewer: I think what's striking about the results is that by far workers valued important and meaningful work as more important than any of the other characteristics, that included salary.
主持人：我認為這些結果中最令人吃驚是，勞動者看重的是重要而有意義的工作，對他們來說這比其他任何特征都重要，包括薪水。
Interviewee: Yeah. Now I'm going to tell you about another poll, and this poll was taken a year later in 1991, and it asked the respondents to reflect on how important certain job characteristics were in their work. And this is a different type of poll because whereas in the first poll, respondents had to choose only one out of five, in this poll they wanted their respondents to react to each item separately. You know, this is to rank each item as "not important", "somewhat important", "important" or "very important". So they have four choices for each item.
嘉賓：是的。現在我要告訴你另一項民意調查，這項民意調查是在1991年進行的，比剛才那個晚一年。它要求受訪者思考某些工作特征在他們的工作中有多重要。這是一種不同的民意調查，因為在第一次民意調查中，受訪者只能選擇五項中的一項。而在這次民意調查中，他們希望他們的受訪者分別對每一項做出反饋。要給每一項都標上“不重要”、“有些重要”、“重要”或“非常重要”。所以每一項有四個選擇。
Interviewer: Sorry to interrupt you. How many items altogether?
主持人：不好意思我要打斷一下。一共多少項?
Interviewee: Oh, the poll had 16 items. Let me give you a few examples.
嘉賓：哦，這個調查有16項。我舉幾個例子。
Interviewer: OK.
主持人：好。
Interviewee: The second item they asked about is interesting work. They asked how important is interesting work to you. And again, I'm just going to tell you about how many people said it was very important. In this case, 78% of the respondents ranked this as very important to them.
嘉賓：他們問的第二項是有趣的工作。他們問你有趣的工作有多重要。同樣，我只想告訴你們有多少人說這很重要。這一項中，78%的受訪者認為這對他們非常重要。
Interviewer: 78%?
主持人：78%?
Interviewee: Yes, 78%. This is a key point, I think. One often sees people working for a lot less if they enjoy their work.
嘉賓：是的,78%。我認為這是一個關鍵點。如果人們喜歡他們的工作，他們工作的負擔就會少很多，這很常見。
Interviewer: That's true.
主持人：對。
Interviewee: The fourth item they asked about was opportunity to learn new skills. How important is that to you? 68% ranked this as very important. And I think that goes again to the idea of interest level, personal satisfaction, and the idea that people want their work to be meaningful.
受訪者:他們詢問的第四個項目是學習新技能的機會。這對你有多重要？68%的人認為這非常重要。我認為這又回到了興趣水平，個人滿足感等概念，以及人們希望做有意義的工作這樣的想法。
Interviewer: Definitely.
主持人：是的。
