職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員、宇航員、時(shí)尚設(shè)計(jì)師、超模……這些都是世人心中的理想工作，光鮮體面又多金，這樣的好工作誰(shuí)不想要呢？可是，在名利雙收的背后，卻隱藏著不為人所知的艱辛和無(wú)奈。

Models may flaunt their luxury lifestyles, but the reality is lots of hard work, a highly demanding schedule, and not as much money as you might think.

模特們也許會(huì)曬出自己奢華的生活方式，但現(xiàn)實(shí)是大量的辛苦工作、高強(qiáng)度的日程安排，而且收入也沒你想的那么高。

Models seem to be constantly jet-setting around the world, enjoying luxury vacations aboard yachts, and flaunting designers best pieces. But they have to follow a demanding schedule and deal with constant pressure to stay in shape.

模特們似乎總是在世界各地飛來(lái)飛去，享受游輪上的豪華假期，穿著設(shè)計(jì)師制作的最好的衣服。然而，模特們必須遵循高強(qiáng)度的日程安排，還要一直面對(duì)保持完美身材的壓力。

In an interview with Vogue, Bella Hadid confessed, "I would cry every single morning, I would cry during my lunch breaks, I would cry before I slept. I was very emotionally unstable for a while when I was working 14-hour days for four months straight as an 18-year-old. I think I just wanted to breathe a little bit."

在接受時(shí)尚雜志《Vogue》的采訪時(shí)，貝拉·哈迪德坦承：“我每天早上都想哭，我午飯休息時(shí)間也想哭，我在睡覺前也想哭。我18歲時(shí)，連續(xù)四個(gè)月每天工作14個(gè)小時(shí)，有一段時(shí)間我的情緒非常不穩(wěn)定。我想我只是需要喘口氣。”

Plus, they dont earn as much as you might think. In New York, models earn $48,130 on average a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Thats only a third of the average annual Manhattanite salary, Business Insider previously reported.

此外，模特們的收入也沒有你想的那么高。根據(jù)勞工統(tǒng)計(jì)局的數(shù)據(jù)，紐約的模特平均一年能掙48130美元（約合人民幣33.4萬(wàn)元）。根據(jù)商業(yè)內(nèi)幕網(wǎng)先前的報(bào)道，這只是曼哈頓人平均年薪的三分之一。

Being a professional taste-tester isnt just getting paid to snack. The reality is that the job is repetitive and highly skilled.

職業(yè)品嘗師的工作不是收錢去吃點(diǎn)心。現(xiàn)實(shí)是這份工作重復(fù)性高、技術(shù)性強(qiáng)。

As a kid, everyone fantasizes about getting to sample ice cream and cookies as a full-time career. The reality is the job is very detail-oriented and very repetitive.

小時(shí)候，大家都幻想做全職的冰淇淋和餅干品嘗師。現(xiàn)實(shí)是，這份工作非常注重細(xì)節(jié)，而且重復(fù)性很高。

When evaluating a product, testers cant just label it as "good" or "bad." Instead, a mathematical score has to be given for every aspect of the food, with testers identifying the strength of each specific flavor.

在評(píng)估一個(gè)產(chǎn)品時(shí)，品嘗師不能單純地給它貼上“好”或“壞”的標(biāo)簽。事實(shí)上，食品的每個(gè)方面都要用數(shù)字來(lái)打分，品嘗師需要辨別出每種特定口感的程度。

"It requires such a high level of concentration," one taste-tester told TODAY.com.

一名品嘗師告訴今日網(wǎng)站說：“這需要注意力高度集中。”

Sometimes a tester will have to sample a specific product, such as a cookie or cracker, for weeks on end.

有時(shí)一位品嘗師需要連續(xù)數(shù)周品嘗一種特定產(chǎn)品，比如一種曲奇餅或梳打餅。

"Youre getting graded on what you do, so its kind of stressful. You want to do a good job, and its totally quantitative. You go into test-taking mode," the taste-tester added.

這位品嘗師補(bǔ)充道：“你的工作表現(xiàn)會(huì)被考核，所以壓力還挺大的。你想把工作做好，而且這完全是定量的工作。你進(jìn)入的是測(cè)試模式。”

Anyone who grew up watching "Sex and the City" dreamed of living like Carrie Bradshaw, but in reality, you need plenty of personal funding to support a career as a writer.

任何看著《欲望都市》長(zhǎng)大的人都?jí)粝脒^上凱莉·布萊肖的生活。但現(xiàn)實(shí)是，你需要很多個(gè)人儲(chǔ)備金才能支撐自己的寫作事業(yè)。

Viewers watched Carrie Bradshaw parade around New York City in designer clothing, sipping champagne, and living off a writers salary.

觀眾看到的是凱莉·布萊肖穿著名牌衣服在紐約市到處逛，喝香檳，靠寫作的收入來(lái)生活。

Unfortunately, its rare to be able to support this lifestyle on a writers salary alone.

不幸的是，很少有人可以僅靠寫作的收入來(lái)支撐這種生活方式。

In a 2018 Authors Guild Study, the median income of all published authors for all writing-related activity was $6,080 in 2017, down from $10,500 in 2009.

根據(jù)2018年的作家協(xié)會(huì)研究，2017年所有發(fā)表過作品的作家從事寫作相關(guān)活動(dòng)的中位收入是6080美元，相比2009年的10500美元下降了。

Oftentimes, writers have to work multiple jobs, copy edit, or rely on a partner or familys financial support to follow their dreams.

通常來(lái)說，作家都要身兼多職，比如做審稿編輯，或靠著伴侶或家人的經(jīng)濟(jì)支持來(lái)追隨自己的夢(mèng)想。

Neville Frankel, author of the historical novel "Bloodlines," recommends writers "live in the attic or the basement; do whatever jobs you need to make ends meet. If youre fortunate enough to have a partner or spouse with a job, make a deal to support each other financially."

歷史小說《血防線》的作者內(nèi)維爾·弗蘭克爾建議作家們“住在閣樓或地下室；做任何糊口所需的工作。如果你足夠幸運(yùn)，有一個(gè)在職的伴侶或配偶，你們可以約定好經(jīng)濟(jì)上互相支持。”

In an article author Lynn Steger Strong wrote for the Guardian, she explains that plenty of writers dont openly discuss how they are funding their careers, creating an illusion that making a living off writing is possible, as long as you put in the work. But at the end of the day, she says writing simply requires a lot of time and space — two factors that a person of privilege has way more access to.

在作家林恩·斯蒂格·斯特朗為《衛(wèi)報(bào)》寫的一篇文章中，她解釋道，許多作家都沒有公開討論他們是如何資助自己的事業(yè)的，營(yíng)造出一種只要你努力就能以寫作為生的假象。但是到頭來(lái)，寫作就是需要很多時(shí)間和空間——這兩個(gè)因素是特權(quán)人士更容易獲得的。

Playing video games for a living is probably every kids dream, but the career can be extremely isolating.

以打游戲?yàn)樯芸赡苁敲總€(gè)孩子的夢(mèng)想，但這一事業(yè)會(huì)讓人極端孤立。

Getting to play your favorite video game for a living sounds like a dream come true. However, once it becomes a full-time career, the lifestyle can be isolating and stressful.

能夠以打自己最愛的游戲謀生聽起來(lái)像是夢(mèng)想成真。但是，一旦它成為全職的事業(yè)，這種生活方式會(huì)讓人孤立，壓力也很大。

Professional gamer Sean Gallagher, aka "Gladd," told Business Insider that gaming can cause you to lose sight of your loved ones and prioritize subscribers, which help boost your income.

職業(yè)游戲玩家肖恩·加拉格爾（又名格拉德）告訴商業(yè)內(nèi)幕網(wǎng)說，游戲會(huì)讓你忽視你所愛的人，你會(huì)以訂閱用戶為重，因?yàn)樗麄兪悄愕氖杖雭?lái)源。

In an industry where some gamers are playing for 12-14 hours a day, theres also pressure never to leave your screen. Ryan Wright, aka "True Vanguard," said the gaming community is a very "out of sight, out of mind" kind of industry. When he decided to take a week-long vacation after three years of growing his community, he lost almost two years worth of growth on Twitch, a live-streaming platform.

在這個(gè)行業(yè)，玩家們每天打12到14個(gè)小時(shí)的游戲，壓力迫使你不能離開屏幕。萊恩·懷特（又名真先鋒）說，游戲社區(qū)是一個(gè)“看不見你就會(huì)忘記你”的行業(yè)。在他培養(yǎng)了三年粉絲群后，他決定休一周假，結(jié)果他在流媒體平臺(tái)Twitch上失去了將近兩年才能培養(yǎng)起來(lái)的粉絲量。

As well as taking on this mental strain, players can end up hurt physically, too. Some have reported carpal tunnel syndrome or injured wrists, according to CBS News.

除了要面對(duì)精神上的壓力，玩家們身體上也會(huì)受傷。根據(jù)哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞報(bào)道，有些玩家報(bào)告稱患上了腕管綜合癥（手腕受傷）。

Anyone who has been involved in the service industry has probably fantasized about opening up a restaurant of their own, but many struggle to stay afloat.

任何曾參與服務(wù)行業(yè)的人很可能都幻想過開一家自己的餐廳，但許多餐廳老板都是艱難求存。

There are more restaurant failures than successes, and thats because succeeding in the industry is no easy feat.

失敗的餐廳比成功的餐廳多，這是因?yàn)樵谶@一行成功不是易事。

Thrillist spoke with multiple restaurant and bar owners and asked them the hardest parts about the job. Among their complaints were a nonexistent social life, 18-hour days, no income, gruesome dirty work, a constant stream of questions from the entire staff, and knowing that continued success is never guaranteed.

旅游指南網(wǎng)站Thrillist與多家餐廳和酒吧老板交談，問他們這份工作最難的部分是什么。他們的抱怨包括沒有社交生活、一天工作18個(gè)小時(shí)、沒有收入、又臟又累的苦力活、員工總是不停發(fā)問，以及未知的前景。
