Career or Family: which is more important?

When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.

當被問到關(guān)于事業(yè)和家庭的看法時，人們的反應往往不同。有的人認為追求事業(yè)更重要，而也經(jīng)常有其他人認為家庭應該發(fā)放到人生中的首位。

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

毫無疑問，事業(yè)在我們的生活中扮演著關(guān)鍵的角色。首先，事業(yè)能夠給我們生活的目標。沒有事業(yè)，我們大部分的生活時間就會浪費。而且，事業(yè)能夠給我們提供生活的手段。大部分的人從工作中賺取收入。另一方面，家庭也是生活不可或缺的一部分，很多人都承認這一點。家總是被看作是我們可以逃避生活中的困難的地方。另外，我們可以從家庭中獲得歸屬感。沒有家庭，任何人都會覺得孤獨和沮喪。

  In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在我看來，事業(yè)和家庭不是互相對立的。相反，他們可以相互提高，這樣人們的生活就會變得越來越好。因此，這不是一個對與錯的選擇，而是理想和現(xiàn)實之間的選擇。
