1.(学会断句)Some might say/that we work/because we have to,not least because we need the salary/that enables us to be financially independent.
[句式分析] 本句为主从复合句。句中第一个that引导宾语从句;两个because均引导原因状语从句;第二个that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the salary。
[翻译] 有人可能会说,我们工作是因为我们必须工作,尤其是因为我们需要薪水来实现经济独立。
2.(学会断句)It is certainly true/that most of us do join the labour force/once our studies are completed.
[句式分析] 本句为主从复合词。句中It作形式主语,that引导的主语从句作真正的主语;once引导条件状语从句。
[翻译] 当然,我们中的大多数人一旦完成学业就加入了劳动大军。
3.(学会断句)Twenty years ago,positions in social technologies or energy efficiency/did not even exist,and it is difficult/to anticipate the new positions/which will emerge twenty years from now.
[句式分析] 本句为and连接的并列复合句。后面的分句中,it作形式主语,动词不定式短语to anticipate the new positions作真正的主语;which引导定语从句,修饰先行词the new positions。
[翻译] 二十年前,社交技术或能源效率方面的职位甚至还不存在,而且也难以预料二十年后将会出现的新职位。

亨利·戴维·梭罗曾说过:“……一个人若自信地朝他梦想的方向前进,努力过他设想的那种生活,那么他就会在平常的时刻与成功不期而遇。”
3.(应用文佳句)Not only does work benefit us personally,it also contributes to the health of society.
工作不仅使我们个人受益,而且有助于社会的健康。
Wherever life takes us and whatever choices are laid out before us,something worth remembering is that our work,when done well,will not only help us make a living but also help make a life for ourselves and for others.We can take pride in the knowledge that hard work is essential for our individual well-being as well as for the benefit of our society as a whole.
