工作狂
网上的译文:
“1999年美国心理学家Wayne Oates 去世的时候,纽约时报刊登了他的讣告,其中特别强调了两个事实。首先,他一生写了57本书。第二——应该不是巧合——他提出了“工作狂”这个概念。Oates在1968年的一篇文章中提到了这个日后被广泛使用的词,在文章中,他坦白他自己对勤奋工作的感觉非常上瘾,就如同物质依赖一样,是一种病态。当然,他承认工作狂比起一天有1/5的时间都在喝酒更受尊重——工作狂更像是一种性格品质,而且是有益的品质,至少它会写进你的讣告。”

When the American psychologist Wayne Oates died in 1999, The New York Times began his obituary by noting two facts. First, the man had authored an astonishing 57 books. Second—and presumably not coincidentally—he had invented the word workaholic. Oates coined the now-ubiquitous term in a 1968 essay, in which he confessed that his own addiction to industriousness had been a disorder akin to substance abuse. Of course, he acknowledged, workaholism is much more socially respectable than drinking a fifth a day—more the sort of personality trait that might help someone, say, earn an obit in the paper of record.
物质依赖,substance,这里指毒品
至少它会写进你的讣告。 更有可能令你在报纸上得到一份讣告。
