Question

帮翻译一下~~谢谢~！！！

I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do ― become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.

The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before ― between 45 and 50 hours a week ― but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me.

I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I've also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.

Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don't feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don't have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check arrives.

All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a "regular" job. But for now, at least, it suits me.

我担任经理在公司多年了。 我喜欢我的工作,那儿做得很好,但我们公司是一家大公司买的,大多数经理在我们这儿丢了他们的工作。 那就是我决定做一个我一直想做的事,成为一个自由作家。 换工作也就意味着我的生活方式已经改变了在一些方面。

现在对我最主要的区别是,我有一个更灵活的时间表。 我的工郑慎作了,我从前在45 - 50个小时——一个星期,但是我的时间都比以前更严格。 以前,我从8点到5工作每一天,一些额外的时间在周末的时候。 然而现在,我工作的时候感觉像它。 例如,有时我工作到午夜或凌晨2点,然后睡到中午。 我更喜欢这样的安排。 我似乎更加自然。

我也决定该是时候我开始更注意我的健康。 当我作为一个经理,我从不锻炼。 我已经感到很累的工作,所以我刚在傍晚回家看电视。 然而,去年我参加健身俱乐部开始做有规律的锻炼。 作为一个结果,我已经失去了超过10磅,我感觉好多了。 我也开始吃的更健康。 我经常吃很多的快餐,但是现在我做我自己的购物。 我买了很多水果和蔬菜,在家烹调它们。

当然,并不是所有的变化都是件容没好易的事。 例如,我感觉不像以前那样的经济安全。 当我正在作为一个经理,我从不担忧的钱。 我总能指望得到我的薪水,每两个星期。 工作的自由职业者,我没有一个固定的工资。 所以现在我必须确保有足够的钱,直到下一个帐。

总之,我很喜欢我现枯丛铅在的生活方式。 当然,这并不意味着我永远不会想要一个“正规”的工作。 但是现在,至少,它适不适合我。
