Veterinarian. It’s not all cuddling kittens and puppies. You get bit and scratched a lot, and you have to euthanize animals pretty much every day. It’s hard.

獸醫(yī)。不全是跟小貓小狗膩歪。你會(huì)經(jīng)常被咬傷抓傷，而且你差不多每天都要給各種動(dòng)物打麻醉。很困難

A friend of mine is a veterinarian. She said one of the harder things for her is when an animal is 100% save-able, but the owner can't afford it. She has footed the bill a handful of times in these instances, but has soul-crushing debt for vet school and can't do it as often as she wants (which is every time).

我有個(gè)朋友就是一名獸醫(yī)。她說對她來說比較難以接受的事情就是有時(shí)候那個(gè)寵物100%可以救，但是主人卻花不起這個(gè)錢。遇到這種情況的時(shí)候，她經(jīng)常會(huì)幫忙墊一筆錢，但是她自己也背著獸醫(yī)學(xué)校的沉重債務(wù)，沒法讓她經(jīng)常這么做（基本就是每天都墊一筆）

Thank you for all that you do.

感謝你們所有人的付出。

Yeah when we were students our puppy needed some ridiculous surgery. Vet declined to put down the dog because it could be saved with a $15,000 surgery. We could not afford it so we took our puppy to a different low income vet center that would put the puppy down "without judgement." We were bawling and the vet there said they could do a lesser surgery for $1,000 and maybe give the dog a good year or two. Of course we jumped right on that. Dog lived happily for another 11 years.

沒錯(cuò)，我們還在念書的時(shí)候，我們養(yǎng)的小狗忽然要做一個(gè)很離譜的手術(shù)。獸醫(yī)拒絕進(jìn)行安樂死，因?yàn)榛?5000美元做個(gè)手術(shù)的話就可以把小狗救下來。我們花不起這個(gè)錢，于是我們就把小狗帶到了另一家低收入的獸醫(yī)院，他們說會(huì)“不加審視”地給我們的小狗做安樂死。在我們哭天喊地的時(shí)候，那里的獸醫(yī)跟我們說可以做個(gè)1000美元的小手術(shù)，說不定能讓狗狗多活一兩年。我們當(dāng)然立刻就同意了。結(jié)果狗狗又活蹦亂跳了十一年。

My husband was in law school and I was in medical residency at the time of our experiences there. One of my greatest joys is anonymously donating to their charity every year.

當(dāng)時(shí)我老公在法學(xué)院，我在當(dāng)住院醫(yī)師?，F(xiàn)在我最大的快樂就是每年匿名給他們的慈善基金捐款。

binglybleep
The other way would be awful too imo. Known a couple of people who’ve had dogs who had 0 chance of recovery who were sick and in pain, and their owners wouldn’t let them go. I think I’d really struggle not putting those animals down, suffering is really hard to see. I think pet owners have a responsibility to make that call when the time comes, kindness doesn’t always mean doing everything possible to keep a suffering being alive. It’s sometimes quite selfish to prolong their lives for your own comfort

You also get threatened by people constantly. I've had a man tell me he was going to "wipe the smirk off my face with a bullet." I wasn't smirking, I was smiling as that's what i do when I'm nervous. We called the cops and he had an unregistered gun crammed down the back of his pants and a warrant out for aggravated assault.

你還會(huì)經(jīng)常被別人威脅。有一次一個(gè)男的跟我說他要“用子彈把我的笑臉抹平”。我沒有在笑嘻嘻的，我笑是因?yàn)槲揖o張。于是我們報(bào)警了。發(fā)現(xiàn)他的褲兜里別了一把沒注冊的槍，然后因?yàn)閲?yán)重侵犯他人身體被逮捕了。

I've been here for a few years and my hospital has had 3 vets and 5 techs commit suicide. I'm trying to get out.

我在獸醫(yī)院呆了幾年，我們醫(yī)院有三個(gè)獸醫(yī)和五個(gè)技術(shù)工人試過自殺。我在試著往外跑。

Just as much medical school, patients are even more obstinate, and paid a fraction of other medical professionals.

基本學(xué)的跟醫(yī)學(xué)院一樣多，患者更固執(zhí)，拿的錢還是其他醫(yī)學(xué)專業(yè)人士的零頭。

Any hobby you've turned into a profession. After a few years of being forced to do it to someone else's specifications, on someone else's deadline - only to have it critiqued into oblivion or expected for free - you'll despise everything about it.

任何被你變成了職業(yè)的愛好。在經(jīng)歷了幾年為了其他人的要求而工作，趕其他人的截止日期的生活，最后的作品要么免費(fèi)給，要么被批判得一文不值之后，你會(huì)厭惡你喜歡過的一切。

Yep, work as a graphic designer now. I once dreamed of creating comic books in my free time and painting and sculpting, after so many years as a designer, I haven't touched a sketchbook for personal use in probably 6 years. Sure there are lots of worse jobs, but watching your lifelong love for something slowly die sucks.

沒錯(cuò)，我現(xiàn)在是平面設(shè)計(jì)師，曾經(jīng)我的夢想是用空閑時(shí)間畫漫畫，畫油畫和做雕塑，但是在當(dāng)了這么多年的設(shè)計(jì)師之后，我可能有六年都沒打開過速寫本自己畫著玩了。當(dāng)然糟糕的工作有很多，但是看著你這輩子的愛好慢慢死掉確實(shí)很難受。

I'd say being an actual full time QA tester on videogames.

要我說就是當(dāng)電子游戲的全職質(zhì)檢測試員。

A lot of people just think all you do is get paid to play the game all day and then basically review it mentioning the occasional bug.

很多人都覺得你要做的事情就是拿錢玩一整天的游戲，然后做個(gè)測評，提兩句偶爾出現(xiàn)的bug。

But no, if you're actually wanting to be kept around and paid decently, you might spend all day turning the game on, loading into it, then VERY precisely repeating the same set of actions trying to reproduce some very specific bug/crash that the game absolutely cannot ship with for compliance reasons. You need to constantly stay on top of the list of bugs that the other QA testers and us engineers are posting, because if you spend half a day doing what I just described, only to find out that's been a known bug for five weeks, well, that's not really a good use of your time.

但實(shí)際并非如此，如果你真的想要被留用，并且拿到不錯(cuò)的薪水的話，那么你可能一整天都要開著游戲，載入游戲，非常準(zhǔn)確地重復(fù)同樣的一系列動(dòng)作，試著復(fù)現(xiàn)某一個(gè)讓游戲因?yàn)榧嫒菪栽蚨鴽]法賣出去的特別的bug。而且你得不斷解決其他之間測試員和工程師們找到的bug，因?yàn)槟闳绻舜蟀胩斓臅r(shí)間只能找到五個(gè)禮拜之前就已經(jīng)被人找到過的bug，那說真的你并沒有好好利用自己的時(shí)間。

Good QA people are worth their weight in gold, but the task you have is generally not something anyone really considers "fun".

好的質(zhì)檢人員的價(jià)值跟等體重的黃金一樣，但是要做的任務(wù)真的算不上任何人會(huì)覺得“有趣”的事情。

dr-tectonic
Ooo, found a bug in the mobile game. Okay, now attempt to replicate it on two dozen different pieces of hardware.

噢噢，在手游里找到了一個(gè)bug。好的，現(xiàn)在試著在二十個(gè)不同的設(shè)備上嘗試復(fù)現(xiàn)這個(gè)bug吧。
原創(chuàng)翻譯：龍騰網(wǎng) http://nxnpts.cn 轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處

And you don't get to just play good games that are fun. All games need QA, and guess what? There are a lot more bad games out there than good ones.

而且你不會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)只玩那些好玩的好游戲。所有游戲都需要質(zhì)檢，你猜怎么著？世界上的爛游戲可比好游戲多得多。

drhazard01
Also, even the best games barely qualify as functional right up until near the end. You might spend years of effort on something that would very much stretch the definition of 'game' and once it's actually close to being done, you could get sick of it.

此外，哪怕那些最棒的游戲也只有在馬上發(fā)售的時(shí)候才勉強(qiáng)算得上是能玩。你可能要花好幾年的精力去制作一個(gè)很難算得上“游戲”的東西，而等到它真的馬上完工的時(shí)候，你可能看見它就要犯惡心了。

I’m a Quality Engineer. All manual testing sucks. I absolutely despise writing test cases. Testing automation is a lot more interesting, but it can also get a little bit repetitive after a bit. There can be a lot of copying and pasting code and adding small adjustments because a lot of tests use the same steps.

我就是一名質(zhì)量工程師。所有的手動(dòng)測試都很惡心。我最痛恨的就是寫測試案例。測試自動(dòng)化要有意思的多，但過一段時(shí)間之后也會(huì)變得有點(diǎn)重復(fù)。會(huì)有大量的復(fù)制粘貼代碼，只加上一點(diǎn)小的修改，因?yàn)楹芏鄿y試的步驟都一樣。

I feel like I got a taste of what it could be like because I lived down the street for a major studio so I did some "playtesting."

我感覺我可能稍微能理解一點(diǎn)這種工作是什么樣子的，因?yàn)槲揖妥≡谝粋€(gè)大游戲工作室附近，所以我做過一些“游玩測試”。

A couple of the games were just awful to play and I just wanted to finish the level, fill out the report amd get my gift card and go.

很多游戲玩起來就很沒意思，我只想打完這一關(guān)，把報(bào)告填好，拿到我的禮物卡然后走人。

There was onetime though back in like 2012-2013, over 3 days, 4-5 hours a day with like 40 of us in a LAN environment playing an open world/sandbox shooter. It was a ton of fun and I got a $300 gift card for the local malls for that. Usually would to go EB and buy games with those GCs.

曾經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間，大概2012-2013年那會(huì)兒，三天里每天四五個(gè)小時(shí)，我們大概四十個(gè)人在局域網(wǎng)環(huán)境里玩一個(gè)開放世界沙盒射擊游戲。那時(shí)候特別有意思，我還拿了一張當(dāng)?shù)厣痰甑?00美元禮物卡。通常我都會(huì)用這個(gè)禮物卡去買游戲。

This type of play testing is a lot different from actual QA, though.

說實(shí)話，你這種游玩測試和真正的質(zhì)檢測試區(qū)別還是很大的。

What you were doing was UX testing (User Experience). The idea isn’t really to find bugs— ideally they’ve already been found and fixed by this point—but rather to get feedback about systems, gameplay, maps, and potential exploits.

你所做的其實(shí)是用戶體驗(yàn)測試。測試不是為了找到bug——理想情況下這些bug早就被找出來并且修好了——而是得到關(guān)于游戲系統(tǒng)，游戲體驗(yàn)，地圖，以及潛在的濫用機(jī)制燈的反饋。

Play testing doesn’t usually have much to do with QA, although a team member may be present when the results are analyzed. It’s for the devs to find out what the core audience is thinking.

游玩測試跟質(zhì)量檢測基本沒什么關(guān)系，盡管在分析結(jié)果的時(shí)候可能會(huì)有一個(gè)質(zhì)量檢測成員在場。游玩測試是為了讓開發(fā)者知道核心用戶怎么想。

A lot of the time people are participating in play testing without even knowing it. For instance if you ever get into a beta or play a pre-release build at a convention, then the metrics of your session are being picked through and studied in great detail by members of the dev teams.

很多時(shí)候人們都參與了游玩測試，但是自己不知道，比如說你在一場游戲展會(huì)上玩到了beta試玩或者預(yù)覽版，那么你這次試玩的各種數(shù)據(jù)都會(huì)被留下來，被開發(fā)組詳細(xì)研究。

RuPaulver
Yeah I have a lot of friends who work/worked in video game QA. It's just a lot of busy-work to find bugs and retest the fixes, which might still have the bug or might've broken something else. Sometimes you can spend hours just testing menus. Not a whole lot of time to actually enjoy the game. Not a lot of pay either.

沒錯(cuò)，我有很多朋友現(xiàn)在或者之前在電子游戲質(zhì)檢領(lǐng)域工作。其實(shí)就是忙活著找bug，測試修復(fù)后的bug，可能bug還在，也可能修bug修出了新的bug。有時(shí)候你可能幾個(gè)小時(shí)都在測試菜單。很多時(shí)候你并不是在真正的享受游戲。而且拿的錢也不多。

On the plus side, I've heard a lot of AAA studios do come with their perks. The big one my friends worked at would have paid lunches where they'd just group-order whatever people wanted. Decked-out break rooms, an arcade, their own gym, and all the amenities of a modern high-end tech company.

但是從積極的方向考慮，我也聽說有很多的3A工作室有自己的優(yōu)待。我朋友之前工作過的大廠有免費(fèi)午餐，職工想吃什么就拼團(tuán)。精裝的休息室，街機(jī)，自己的健身房，以及其他現(xiàn)代的高端科技企業(yè)都有的那種娛樂設(shè)施。

But otherwise it's a pretty dead-end job to just get by on, if you're not working toward other skills like coding or art.

但其他方面來說這份工作沒什么前途，只能湊活干著，如果你沒有學(xué)習(xí)別的技能，比如代碼或者美術(shù)的話。

ChefInsano
My buddy did it for Microsoft and he’d spend hours in the same level of a game, sometimes just testing collision physics, where there weren’t even enemies or anything to do other than try to fall through the map.

我朋友之前給微軟干過，他會(huì)在同一個(gè)關(guān)卡花好幾個(gè)小時(shí)，有時(shí)候僅僅是測試碰撞物理特效，甚至關(guān)卡里都沒有敵人或者別的可以做的事情，他們只能試著從地圖里掉出去。

Late-Presence9874
Agreed. I've been in QA for different game companies for about 10 years now and in the beginning it can be exciting because...video games! That honeymoon phase can fade quickly though.

同意。我已經(jīng)給不同的游戲公司做了大概10年的QA了，一開始很刺激，因?yàn)椤娮佑螒?！但這段蜜月期很快就結(jié)束了。

Besides what you describe salaries for a video game testers aren't the greatest as well so people either give up and quit at some point or switch to another department. I don't blame them at all as QA can be a great start to explore what career path you wanna take in the industry.

除了你所描述的內(nèi)容之外，電子游戲測試員的工資也不算高，所以很多人要么不干了，要么就去別的部門了。我并不責(zé)備他們，畢竟如果你想探索在這個(gè)行業(yè)能走哪條路的話，那么質(zhì)量檢測確實(shí)是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的起點(diǎn)。

Playing video games it a nice to have but as QA you need to be very resilient and patient too. It can be incredibly draining sometimes.

打電子游戲確實(shí)挺好，但是當(dāng)質(zhì)量檢測的話，你也得既堅(jiān)韌不拔又有耐心。有的時(shí)候這份工作真的很累人。

With that being said I love being in the QA department and generally game industry. The pay is good for me personally and my coworkers are pretty amazing.

話雖如此，我還是很喜歡在質(zhì)檢部門，包括在游戲業(yè)界工作的。對我來說給的錢還算不錯(cuò)，并且我的同事們都很可愛。

Of all the jobs I’ve worked I’d have to say trucking. People imagine you out on the open road listening to audiobooks, friends give winks about the supposed lovely ladies knocking on windows, but the reality is 70% of time is spent in congested city traffic, unpaid in docks, constant sleep deprivation, and the only ladies that knock on the windows are heroin addicts covered in bruises from their pimps, you want no part of it.

在我干過的所有工作里，我得說應(yīng)該是卡車司機(jī)。人們會(huì)想象你在大路上悠閑地聽電子書，朋友會(huì)覺得有可愛的女士敲你的車窗，但現(xiàn)實(shí)是70%的時(shí)間里你都被困在擁堵的城市交通里，在港口拿不到工資，經(jīng)常缺覺，并且唯一會(huì)敲你車窗的就是那些海洛因毒癮患者，渾身都是嫖客毆打的淤青，你絕對不想摻和這個(gè)。

I’ve heard that acting can be pretty bad. It looks fun on film but imagine having to re-record scenes for days on end, working at all hours of the night, having the director tell you that what you’re doing isn’t quite what he/she is looking for, and dealing with coworkers that come in high, drunk, etc. which delays recording scenes. On top of that, the job security is close to none so you’re always chasing new opportunities and can’t ever feel settled down until you have a few major movies under your belt.

我聽說當(dāng)演員會(huì)很困難。電影里看起來挺有意思的，但是想象一下你要一天到晚地重拍某個(gè)場景，晚上干一整個(gè)通宵，任憑導(dǎo)演告訴你你做的并不是他想要的，還要跟一群溜大了，喝醉了然后延誤拍攝的同事打交道。最重要的是，這份工作幾乎沒有任何保障，你永遠(yuǎn)要追求新的機(jī)會(huì)，根本沒法讓自己安頓下來，除非你已經(jīng)演過了好幾個(gè)大片。

MortLightstone
I'm an actor. There's no money in it. Casting directors expect you to be available for auditions within 1 day or less of notice. You need to do so many auditions to book anything and have to be available in case you get an audition that you spend most of your time auditioning and networking. This is all time you can't spend making money somewhere else, so it's hard to have a side job

我就是個(gè)演員。根本賺不到錢。選角導(dǎo)演認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該在收到通知的一天之內(nèi)就能參加試鏡。你得試很多鏡才能得到一份角色，而且為了通過試鏡，你得把所有時(shí)間都花在試鏡和社交上。因?yàn)闀r(shí)間都花在這些事情上面，所以你也沒辦法干別的事情賺錢，很難找副業(yè)。
原創(chuàng)翻譯：龍騰網(wǎng) http://nxnpts.cn 轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處

So you end up slowly losing money until you go broke unless you have a big breakthrough or a recurring gig before it happens. If you don't keep getting better and better roles over time, you'll eventually get to a point where you can't afford to do it anymore

所以你開始慢慢的賠錢，直到你破產(chǎn)，或者在破產(chǎn)之前你忽然紅了，或者有個(gè)節(jié)目能一直找你來演。如果你沒法得到越來越好的角色，總有一天你會(huì)干不起這個(gè)行業(yè)的。

After 20 years, I just couldn't afford to keep doing it anymore. The pandemic was the final nail in the coffin. I lost my agent, my job and my apartment. Couldn't get another one with no income and couldn't get employment insurance because actors are independent contractors. I lucked out by meeting a guy that let me sublet and then the government benefit saved me from homelessness

在過了二十年之后，我已經(jīng)當(dāng)不起一名演員了。疫情是棺材上的最后一根釘子。我失去了我的經(jīng)紀(jì)人，我的工作和我的公寓，我沒有收入，所以也沒法再租一個(gè)房子，也沒法得到失業(yè)保險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)檠輪T都是獨(dú)立承包商。幸運(yùn)的是有個(gè)人愿意給我轉(zhuǎn)租，政府救濟(jì)也讓我不至于無家可歸。

I should also mention that as an independent contractor, you don't have any of the benefits or protections of being an employee. Also, the amount of work available to someone that looks like you will change depending where you're located. As a long haired Latino in Canada, it was difficult finding roles I could be considered for. Local casting agents really liked me but struggled to find me auditions. Most of what I got were criminals, because most of the work available was in American productions and Latinos are definitely type cast

而且我得提一句，作為獨(dú)立承包商，你享受不到作為員工的任何一種福利或是保障。此外，你的外貌能給你帶來的工作，取決于你的居住環(huán)境。作為一名住在加拿大的長發(fā)的拉丁裔，我在這里很難找到我能演的角色。本地的經(jīng)紀(jì)人特別喜歡我，但很難給我找到試鏡的機(jī)會(huì)。我能拿到的絕大多數(shù)的角色都是罪犯，因?yàn)檫@里的工作基本上都是美國制片人出品，他們眼里的拉丁裔都是典型的反派。

Acting itself is amazing though

但表演本身確實(shí)很有意思。

I remember when I was training I took a class from Matthew Lillard and he told me that getting a good role as an actor was so hard, you'd be lucky if you don't have to pay for it

我記得在自己還在學(xué)表演的時(shí)候，馬修·利拉德給我們上了一課，他跟我說作為演員能得到好的角色非常難，假如你不用花錢就能演這么一個(gè)角色那你就太幸運(yùn)了。

I didn't know how right he was until I got into it

我不知道他的話說得多對，直到我自己進(jìn)入這一行業(yè)。

Most of my most fun roles were in projects I did with friends or students, were I either worked for free or helped produce

我覺得有趣的角色都是和朋友或者學(xué)生做的企劃，我要么是免費(fèi)出演的，要么幫忙制片。

Game Development. We aren't usually making our own ideas, we're making some VC's idea. We are often asked to do 500% of the work in 20% of the time, while also having our expertise and experience ignored. We then somehow manage to ship the game without dying, only to have gamers attack US for shit we did not have control over, and then we get laid off and have to move AGAIN. It fucking sucks, but apparently we can't say that to people because they do not grok that the job isn't just playing games all day and coming up with cool ideas. (Neither of those are tasks game devs do.)

Sure, you can make >$100k/yr as a high school teacher. But you need to work with an admin staff (principles, and higher) that will NOT have your back if there are any issues. You have to deal with entitled and shitty kids all day long. You have to deal with entitled and shitty parents all evening long. You need to do marking and other bullshit on your own time.

沒錯(cuò)，當(dāng)高中老師一年是能掙10多萬美元。但你得和一群出了任何麻煩都不會(huì)保你的行政人員（校長之類的）共事。白天你得和一群渾身毛病還自我感覺良好的孩子們打交道。晚上你得跟一群渾身毛病還自我感覺良好的家長們打交道。你得用私人時(shí)間去批作業(yè)，去做其他爛事。

If you're a teacher that actually cares, then it's even more work, because you are doing stuff for the kids on your own time, or giving them chances where you can, just to get shit on by all that was mentioned above.

如果你是個(gè)真的在乎孩子們的老師，那你的工作就更多了，因?yàn)槟愕没ㄗ约旱臅r(shí)間給孩子們做事情，或者在可以的時(shí)候給他們機(jī)會(huì)，一切只是為了熬過我上面提到的那些爛事。

Teaching.

當(dāng)老師。

Dealing with parents whose children “would never do such a thing” or the parents who “know better about education than the teacher” and Kids that simply do not care nor want to learn drains a teachers soul. Mix that with traditional office politics and battles with school administration and you’ll go gray by your eighth year.

跟一群“打死我也不這么做”的孩子們的家長，或者是一群“老師懂教育哪有我懂得多”的家長，還有一群根本不在乎也不想學(xué)習(xí)的孩子們打交道，會(huì)慢慢榨干一個(gè)老師的靈魂。

Bartending. Everyone thinks it’s just joking with customers, shaking cocktails, drinking at work & making great money. They don’t see the late night sloppy assholes who need to be kicked out, puke-covered bathrooms, dead day shifts where you’re squeezing hundreds of lemons & limes by hand for entitled night bartenders who will make 10x what you made & leave the place a mess for you in the morning… the sexual harassment, rampant drug abuse, no breaks, no paid time off, no vacations, no 401k, no health insurance… so glamorous…

當(dāng)酒保。所有人都以為你只需要跟客戶開開玩笑，搖一搖雞尾酒，工作的時(shí)候喝兩杯就能掙大錢。他們看不見那些后半夜毛手毛腳等著被踢出去的混蛋，滿地都是嘔吐物的洗手間，以及累得要死的白班，給那些自命不凡的夜班酒保徒手榨幾百個(gè)檸檬和萊姆，他們掙的是你的十倍，然后留下一地狼藉給你早上收拾……性騷擾，無法無天的吸毒，沒有休息，沒有帶薪休假，沒有假期，沒有社保和醫(yī)?！怩r亮麗了……

Personal trainer/strength coach. Usually you take the job because you care a lot about training. It's a hobby that turns into a job. Most of the people who would hire you (unless you're working with a fairly high level sports team or pro athlete) are actually not very motivated at all beyond being willing to pay the fee and show up (and sometimes they on't even show up...).

私教/健身教練。通常來說你選擇這份工作都是因?yàn)槟惴浅Ｔ诤踅∩?。這就算是把愛好變成了工作。絕大多數(shù)愿意雇你的人（除非你是在為高水平的體育隊(duì)伍或是專業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員工作）實(shí)際上都沒什么健身的動(dòng)機(jī)，除了樂意花一筆錢然后露個(gè)面之外（有時(shí)候他們甚至連面都不露……）

Most of your advice will also be ignored and you will get blamed for their lack of willpower or discipline. I've had so many clients come to me specifically for fat loss but refuse to keep a food journal for even two weeks, or who say things like "no, I pay you for this one hour so that I can eat whatever I want for the other hours of the week." They think you're going to unfuck the other 167 hours in the week with that 1 hour of [usually half-assed] training. Once I was fired by a client for telling her that her daily starbucks "reward" coffee was almost 1000 calories and therefore needed to be cut. She found another coach who told her that she could keep the extra 1000 calories per day and still lose weight.

你的絕大多數(shù)建議都會(huì)打水漂，你甚至?xí)驗(yàn)樗麄冏约旱娜狈σ庵玖蜃月啥ちR。我遇到過很多客戶來找我減肥，但卻不愿意記錄自己的飲食，連兩個(gè)星期都堅(jiān)持不下來，或者說什么“不，我花錢就是為了在你這練一個(gè)小時(shí)，然后這一個(gè)星期剩下的一百多個(gè)小時(shí)我就可以想吃什么吃什么”。他們覺得只要在你這練了（通常是裝模作樣的）一個(gè)小時(shí)之后，剩下的167個(gè)小時(shí)里他們干什么都無所謂了。有一次我跟我的客戶說她每天的星巴克“獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)”咖啡有將近1000個(gè)大卡，所以得戒掉，結(jié)果我被她開除了，她之后又找到了一個(gè)教練跟她說可以保留這每天額外的1000大卡，然后還能減肥。

People come to you with crazy expectations and then get upset when THEY fall short. I've had multiple obese clients come in and mention that they wanted to lose 20+ pounds (9kg+) before their social event ( friend's wedding, class reunx, expensive vacation etc) but then refuse to change their diet. The event is usually a month or two away... impossible.

人們帶著不切實(shí)際的期待來找你，結(jié)果他們自己達(dá)不到這個(gè)預(yù)期反倒要生你的氣。我遇見過很多肥胖的客人找到我，跟我說他們想要在某個(gè)社交活動(dòng)（朋友婚禮，班級聚會(huì)，昂貴的度假之類的）開始之前減個(gè)二十多磅（9公斤以上），但是他們卻拒絕改變自己的飲食。而且截止日期可能就一兩個(gè)月……根本不可能。

It's like I'm your "gym dad" but I only get one hour of visitation rights per week and I can't possibly undo all the damage that living with your mother has done to you.

就好像我是你“健身房里的老父親”，但是我每個(gè)星期只能合法探訪你一個(gè)小時(shí)，所以我也沒法治好你媽媽給你造成的所有傷害。

When you get a client that really wants to push hard and follow directions it feels amazing to watch their progress but that's actually pretty rare.

但是當(dāng)你遇到一個(gè)真的想要逼自己一把，能夠接受指導(dǎo)的客戶的時(shí)候，看著他們不斷進(jìn)步真的讓人感覺很好，但這種客戶實(shí)在太少見了。
