⏹Wordswhichstandforwhatpeopledoinordertomakealiving:

job,vocation,profession,occupation,career,trade,work

⏹Profession（anoccupationrequiringspecialeducation,especiallyintheliberalartsorsciences）所指的职业是需要在文科或理科方面有一定的教育程度，具备一定理论水平的人才的职业。

通常指脑力劳动。

例如：

theteachingprofession（教书的职业），theprofessionofjournalism（新闻业）。

⏹以前profession专指三种职业：

法律、医药、神学，称作thelearnedprofessions（学者的职业）。

⏹ 

而随着技术的发展和职业的细化（occupationalspecialization），渐渐越来越多的职业可以划归到“profession”中，如：

engineers（工程师），educationalists（教育家），accountants（会计）。

现在profession覆盖的范围更大了。

⏹Vocation（theparticularoccupationforwhichyouaretrained）是指经过训练后从事的职业，需要一定职业技能。

vocationaleducation（职业教育），vocationalschool（职业学校）。

⏹Occupation（theprincipalactivityinyourlifethatyoudotoearnmoney）指生活中为了赚钱而从事的主要活动。

我们可以说Byoccupationsheisahousewife.（她的职业就是做家务。

）而occupationaldisease则是职业病。

⏹Trade（theskilledpracticeofapracticaloccupation）更侧重技巧、手艺而非高深的学问、理论等。

如：

carpenter（木匠），barber（理发师）等。

我们说“三十六行”这里的“行”就是trade。

⏹Career（long-termorlifelongjob）指长期的，甚至终身从事的职业。

acareersoldier（职业军人），acareerpolitician（职业政客）。

⏹work它是泛指一切长期从事的职业，不管专业、技巧，不管是否需要学问等等。

“What'

syourwork?

”（你做什么工作?

）是最常见的问别人工作的一句话。

⏹Job（aspecificpieceofworkrequiredtobedoneasadutyorforaspecificfee）常指一件具体工作。

Youhavedoneagoodjob．（你做的很好。

）暑期工就可以是asummerjob。

Hisjobistosellnewspapers.（他的活就是卖报纸。

）
