Conversation Two

对话二

W: Hi, Tony. Today we're talking about how managers can get along better with young people at work.

女：嗨，托尼。今天我们来聊聊管理者如何才能更好地与职场中的年轻人相处。

We often hear young people today have a poor work ethic. That's not really justified though, is it?

我们经常听说现在的年轻人职业道德很差。但这种说法其实并不合理，对吧？

M: Not really. In reality, young people of this age group are as varied and multifaceted as any other generation.

男：确实不合理。事实上，这个年龄段的年轻人和其他任何一代一样，都是多样且多面的。

W: Yeah, but if you are struggling to work with young people in your workspace, what can you do?

女：是的，但如果你在工作中很难和年轻人共事，该怎么办呢？

M: Well, it's essential to connect with them, to learn about their values.

男：嗯，与他们沟通、了解他们的价值观是至关重要的。

It's also really important to recognize the way young people want to balance their work life with their personal life.

同时，理解年轻人想要平衡工作与生活的方式也非常重要。

W: So, they generally don't want to defer happiness in return for career advancement?

女：所以，他们通常不愿意为了职业发展而推迟享受生活，是吗？

M: Absolutely. They are not willing to sacrifice their personal lives for their work lives.

男：没错。他们不愿意为了工作而牺牲个人生活。

And this leads people to equate that with an unwillingness to work hard.

而这一点让人们误以为他们不愿意努力工作。

W: Right, but that couldn't be further from the truth, could it?

女：对，但事实完全不是这样，对吧？

M: Young people will work extremely hard during their defined work hours.

男：年轻人会在规定的工作时间内非常努力地工作。

But they expect to have their time off, like weekends and nights, free from work.

但他们希望在周末、晚上等休息时间完全不被工作打扰。

W: So, how should managers go about assessing young people's productivity?

女：那么管理者应该如何评估年轻人的工作效率呢？

M: Generally, young people believe their productivity should not be measured by the number of hours they work-since someone can work for 8 hours and accomplish next to nothing of significance for the company.

男：通常来说，年轻人认为他们的效率不应该用工作时长来衡量——因为有人可能工作8小时，却几乎没为公司做成什么有意义的事。

Instead, young people measure their productivity levels by the quality of the work they perform.

相反，年轻人是通过工作完成的质量来衡量自己的效率。

W: But we often hear that young people want to feel more than just being a part of a big machine. Such a perspective can be hard to discredit, can't it?

女：但我们常听说，年轻人不想只觉得自己是一台大机器上的零件。这种观点其实很难反驳，对吧？

M: It's important to legitimize their work.

男：让他们的工作变得有价值、有意义很重要。

Young workers want to work on projects that matter to themselves, the company or the world at large.

年轻员工想要参与对自己、对公司、乃至对整个世界都有意义的项目。

They must feel the need to stay working at a company whose values align with their own.

他们更愿意留在价值观与自己一致的公司工作。

W: Thanks for your advice.

女：谢谢你的建议。
