Beth:Hey,Adam.I'm worried about my sister Countney.She's in college and has just declared art as her major.

喂，亞當(dāng)，我好擔(dān)心妹妹柯特妮，她目前在上大學(xué)，而且剛向大家宣布，她要主修藝術(shù)。

Adam:Why does that worry you?I've seen her stuff.She's very talented.

這為什么會讓你擔(dān)心呢?我看過她的作品，她很有天分哦。

Beth:I know.But I'm afraid that once she graduates she won't be able to make ends meet.Most artists only make about 60 percent of what the average worker makes a year.Plus ,it's harder for art majors to find a full-time job.But she doesn't seem too concerned.

我知道啊，可是我擔(dān)心，一旦她畢業(yè)后，可能就會入不敷出了，因?yàn)榇蟛糠炙囆g(shù)家每年賺到的錢，只有一般上班族的60%左在中。此外，主修藝術(shù)的人可能比一般人更難找到全職工作?？墒撬救藚s似乎毫不在意。

Adam:But you're forgetting that there's more to choosing a career than making money.Courtney loves art and that's what's important.Even if she's not rolling in dough,she'll be happy and emotionally satisfied.

可是你忘記了，選擇職業(yè)的動機(jī)不該只是為了賺錢而已?？绿啬轃釔鬯囆g(shù)，這點(diǎn)才是最重要的，即使她無法日進(jìn)斗金，但是她會快樂，而且在心靈上能得到滿足。

Beth:But she'll have bills to pay.It's going to be hard for her to sustain a decent lifestyle on what an artist makes.

可是她還是會有帳單要付啊。光靠藝術(shù)家賺的那點(diǎn)錢，一定很難維持像樣的生活方式的。
