曾經讓無數在校生向往的“白領”生活如今似乎也不那么光鮮了。倒是倡導環保的“綠領”開始吸引人們注意。聽說“灰領”和“黃領”其實也不錯。那么,你是什么“領”呢?
Grey-collar worker refers to a skilled technician, typically someone who is both white and blue collar, i.e., Information Technology workers. They are principally white collar, but perform blue collar tasks with some regularity.
“灰領”工人(grey-collar worker)指業務熟練的技術工人,尤指那些兼具白領和藍領工作性質的行業從業人員,比如IT(信息技術)業工作人員。他們本質上是白領,但經常會做一些藍領性質的工作。
Yellow-collar worker is people in the creative field, namely photographers, filmmakers, etc. They may spend time doing both white and blue collar tasks as well as tasks outside either category.
“黃領”工人(yellow-collar worker)則指創意產業的工作人員,比如攝影師、電影制作人等等。他們有時候可能在做白領和藍領性質的工作,而有時候干的活卻不屬于任何一個“領”域。
