当被问到关于事业和家庭的看法时，人们的反应往往不同。有的人认为追求事业更重要，而也经常有其他人认为家庭应该发放到人生中的首位。

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

毫无疑问，事业在我们的生活中扮演着关键的角色。首先，事业能够给我们生活的目标。没有事业，我们大部分的生活时间就会浪费。而且，事业能够给我们提供生活的手段。大部分的人从工作中赚取收入。另一方面，家庭也是生活不可或缺的一部分，很多人都承认这一点。家总是被看作是我们可以逃避生活中的困难的地方。另外，我们可以从家庭中获得归属感。没有家庭，任何人都会觉得孤独和沮丧。

  In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在我看来，事业和家庭不是互相对立的。相反，他们可以相互提高，这样人们的生活就会变得越来越好。因此，这不是一个对与错的选择，而是理想和现实之间的选择。
