 今天我们继续学一些与这个话题有关的内容。英文“失业、无业”的不同表达。


美剧原声:
Kate: Oh, no, no, no. Let me get.
Toby: Remember, you are unemployed 1. And I am not convinced 2 that you would do well - begging for money.
今天《This is Us》的剧情来到Toby和Kate在外用餐,一直在尝试减肥的二人点了沙拉……
今日知识点:
Toby和Kate抢着要买单,这时Toby说 “Remember, you are unemployed. 记住,你现在失业了。”
Unemployed 无业的,失业的
例句:
A: What does he do for a living? 他做什么的?
B: He's unemployed. 他现在没工作。
例句:
You've been unemployed for three months. Don't you think it's time to find a job? 你都失业三个月了。你不觉得该找个工作了吗?
Out of work 无业的,失业的
这个表达在口语中比 unemployed 更常用。
例句:Kevin's been out of work since he graduated. Kevin毕业以后就失业了。
Jobless 无业的,失业的
job+less 这个单词是不是非常好理解呢~
例句:He's 30 and jobless. I don't think he's a good fit for you. 他30岁了,并且还没工作。我觉得他不太适合你。
Between jobs 暂时闲赋在家,暂时没工作
在求职时这是一个比较委婉的说法。上个工作离职/被裁员,暂时还没有找到下一个工作时可以这样说。
例句:I'm between jobs right now. Still haven't found anything I want to do. 我现在暂时没工作。还没有找到我想做的事情。

1 unemployed
adj.失业的,没有工作的;未动用的,闲置的
  • There are now over four million unemployed workers in this country.这个国家现有四百万失业人员。
  • The unemployed hunger for jobs.失业者渴望得到工作。
2 convinced
adj.确信的;深信的;有坚定信仰的v.使确信(convince的过去分词);说服
  • I am convinced of her innocence. 我坚信她是清白无辜的。
