第4课：The double life of Alfred Bloggs 阿尔弗雷德.布洛格斯的双重生活。旅途中国 - 户外旅行门户网站+N)d_v\:}7FJ~2W
These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as ‘white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.

t6@9FX,h_a0      When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. AlF's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

iOH8g|/F3~U2X_0On the way to my book bar, I often see a couple collecting junk. At the very beginning I took pity on them, for they had to take shelter under a piece of clothes placed across the bars of the handcart in the heat of the burningly hot sun. But one late afternoon I saw that both were looking content with a big stack of junk on their cart. I realized that they were easy to be satisfied. Just as the saying goes: Little mind is easily pleased. I have been working very hard to keep the book bar. But it is by no means easy because of high rent and rising cost of daily expense. Then why have I been keeping working hard on it? I think deep in my mind, I take it as kind of a decent job that can prove to be a more meaningful and useful life.
