英语翻译
Sociologists（社会学家）tell us that we are heading for a society leisure.The trend is unmistakable.One hundred years ago,they point out,a worker put in 12 or 13 hours a day,6 days a week,and week followed week without annual vacation.But over the years the picture has changed.Today the typical work week has five 8-hour days,and workers enjoy about three week of paid vacation every year,with the result that today we spend less time on the job as people did before.
In spite of this,today’s worker may not feel that he has a great deal of leisure time.This is because a lot of the non-work time is taken up with fulfilling family and social obligations.For example,he feels that he should spend some time with his children every day,and if a man does physical activity in his job,that too cuts into his free time.
\x05Nevertheless,the final result is that we do have more leisure---more time free from obligation of work or any other social requirement.Leisure is time not used to earn money or do things around the house which save money.It is time spent only in seeking satisfaction,and we give up what we are doing when it no longer satisfies us.Leisure gives us the opportunity to recover from the physical and mental fatigue（疲倦）of work and it frees our creative talents from the pressure and the form placed on us by the job.
\x05Today’s leisure is time programmed for doing what you want to.It does not have to be made up the next day.This is something new.It really frees a person from the workshop to enjoy,for a time,things in which he is interested.Man is about to go out to the playground.

社会学家说我们正朝向一个闲暇社会的方向发展,这种趋向并没有错.一百年前他们指出,一个工人投入一天十二三个小时,一周六天的工作并且周周轮回没有年假,但随着时间的流逝这样的日子不再有了.今天工作的典型特点就是一天八小时,一周五天,并且工人们每年还可以享受大约三周的假期,正出于此,我们今天与以往相比投入在工作上的时间要有所减少.
尽管如此,现在的工人们还是觉得他们并没有多少闲暇时光,这是因为大部分的空闲时间被他们的家庭和社会义务所占据,他们觉得每天要抽出时间陪孩子,并且如果一个人从事体力劳动,就会削减他的空闲时光.
此外,最终结果就是我们确可以在工作义务和社会要求中得到更多的闲暇,闲暇并不意味着浪费时光,毫无所获或者能省则省.而应该是仅仅寻求一种满足感,我们抛弃那些在不能带给我们满足的事物,闲暇为我们从身心疲惫中缓解提供了机会,我们的创造力在工作中的压力下得以释放.
今天闲暇就是做你想要做的,而没有必要时时为将来做打算,时代不同了,真的需要把人从工作中解放,享受闲暇带来的乐趣,专注于所感兴趣的东西.人类正从工作中释放,去他想去的地方.
