And again, I'm just going to o tell you about how many people said it was very important.

再一次，我要告诉你们有多少人说它非常重要。

In this case, 78% of the respond dents ranked this as very important to them.

在这种情况下，78%的受访者认为这对他们来说非常重要。

采访者：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.

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.

我认为这又回到了兴趣水平，个人满意度，以及人们希望他们的工作有意义的想法。

采访者：肯定是。

Interviewee: Another item, item NO. 7,recognition from coworkers. 62% of the respondents said that this was very important.

It was important for them to be recognized, to be respected, and acknowledged for the work they've done.

对他们来说，重要的是他们所做的工作得到认可、尊重和认可。

And I see recognition as a psychological benefit. There's no monetary reward necessarily attached to it,although sometimes they could be.

我认为认可是一种心理上的益处。它并没有必然的金钱回报，尽管有时候可能会有。

But more people are looking for the psychological reward in terms of appreciation.

但更多的人在欣赏方面寻求心理上的回报。

Interviewer: It seems to me that people value psychological reward a lot more than money.

采访者：在我看来，人们似乎更看重心理上的回报，而不是金钱。

Interviewee: That’s right. At least the poll result seemed to say so. Now, let's take a look at another item,NO. 14.

受访者：：这就对了。至少民调结果似乎是这么说的。现在，让我们看看另一个项目，第14项。

It was important to them to have opportunities for advancement, chances for promotion.

对他们来说，重要的是要有晋升的机会。

And I think this goes along with high income and recognition. That's both a psychological reward, promotion, as well as a monetary reward.

Interviewer: Umm.

采访者：嗯。

Interviewee:15 is contact with a lot of people. Some people are very people-oriented, and 52% said this was very important to them.

Interviewer: So we can see workers do have a lot of things that are very important to them.

采访者：所以我们可以看到工人们确实有很多对他们来说非常重要的东西。

Interviewee: Yes, but you can also see the variation in numbers. But a note of caution here. These are averages, and polls talk about averages.

受访者：是的，但你也可以看到数字上的变化。但这里需要注意。这些都是平均数，民意调查谈论的是平均数。

But still I think it is important for employers to become more aware of polls like these because it might allow them to keep their workers satisfied in ways that maybe they haven't thought of before.

但我仍然认为，雇主应该更多地了解这样的民意调查，因为这可能让他们用一些他们以前从未想过的方式来保持员工的满意度。

Interviewer: Yeah, OK.Thank you very much Mr. West for talking to us on the program.

采访者：好的，非常感谢韦斯特先生在节目中与我们交谈。

Interviewee: Pleasure.
