Notesonthetext课文注释
1 Peoplewhoworkinofficesarefrequentlyreferredtoas‘white-collarworkers’,那些坐在办公室的人,往往被称为“白领工人”。
white-collarworkers往往指脑力劳动者,而体力劳动者则被称为blue-collarworkers,蓝领工人。
2 forthesimplereasonthat…这里that引导的从句是thereason的同位语。
3 Suchishumannature,that…
such位于句首,起强调作用,后面要用倒装语序,that引导的是such的同位语从句。
4 asitdidinthecaseofAlfredBloggswho…workedasadustmanfortheEllesmereCorporation.正如给埃尔斯米尔公司当清洁工的艾尔弗雷德·布洛格斯的情况所造成的怪现象那样。
asitdid中的it是指上一句中that从句所指的情况,而did是替代giverisetocurioussituations。
5 halfasmuchasheusedto,只相当于过去的一半。
参考译文
如今,从事体力劳动的人的收入一般要比坐办公室的人高出许多。
坐办公室的人之所以常常被称作“白领工人”,就是因为他们通常是穿着硬领白衬衫、系看领带去上班。
许多人常常情愿放弃较高的薪水以换取做白领工人的殊荣,此乃人之常情。
而这常常会引起种种奇怪的现象,在埃尔斯米尔公司当清洁工的艾尔弗雷德·布洛格斯就是一个例子。
艾尔弗结婚时,感到非常难为情,而没有将自己的职业告诉妻子。
他只说在埃尔斯米尔公司上班。
每天早晨,他穿上一身漂亮的黑色西装离家上班,然后换上工作服,当8个小时清洁工。
晚上回家前,他洗个淋浴,重新换上那身黑色西服。
两年多以来,艾尔弗一直这样,他的同事也为他保守秘密。
艾尔弗的妻子一直不知道她嫁给了一个清洁工,而且她永远也不会知道了,因为艾尔弗已找到新职,不久就要坐在办公室里工作了。
他将来挣的钱只有他现在的一半。
不过他觉得,地位升高了,损失点儿钱也值得。
从此,艾尔弗可以一天到晚穿西服了。
别人将称呼他为“布洛格斯先生”,而不再叫他“艾尔弗”了。
