【篇一】永远消失的工作

1. Rat Catcher

Somebody paid the Pied Piper. Rat catching was actually a profitable and common job for many centuries, and while these brave souls did not play pipes, they did receive some fame. For example, one man named Jack Black claimed to be Queen Victoria's personal rat catcher.

Others made a killing by selling the rats they caught in gilded cages to wealthy ladies. Yet, the major risk was that getting bit or even simply handling the rats posed a huge risk of infection and disease. Would you risk the bubonic plague to save the city? I wouldn't.

2. Night soil collectors

Probably the most gag-inducing job on this list. If you thought your job was bad, how about gathering up night soil for a living? "Night soil" is a lovely euphemism for excrement.

Those tasked with collecting fecal matter went from privy to cesspit to chamber pot, aiming to get enough for crop fertilization. By the late Victorian period, the invention of the sewer system, as well as the realization that human poo is a health risk, put these Midnight Mechanics out of work.

3. Leech collectors

Here is another fun role (not)! Leech collectors were paid to roll up their pant legs and use their flesh as bait for leeches. Once they accumulated enough leeches on their legs, the collectors would pluck off the parasites then sell them to doctors for bloodletting and other medicinal purposes.

Leech collecting was a hectic job. First, the water was cold. Second, the collectors often became ill from blood loss and infections caused by the leeches. Thirdly, by 1900, the only bloodsucking leech in Britain had been decimated by the sheer amount of harvesting done, so the job soon became moot.

【篇二】译文

1.捕鼠者

有人会付钱给花衣魔笛手。实际上，几世纪以来，捕鼠曾一直是一份赚钱而且普通的工作，然而这些勇敢的人并不会吹笛子，他们确实获得了一些名声。例如，一位名叫杰克·布莱克的男士，曾声称自己是维多利亚女王的私人捕鼠者。

其他人则通过将逮到的老鼠装进镀金的笼子中，卖给贵妇，从而赚了一大笔钱。然而，大的风险就是被老鼠咬，甚至要处理那些带有严重的感染和疾病的老鼠。你会冒着得黑死病的风险去拯救城市吗？我是绝对不会的。

2.粪便收集者

这可能是这个清单中令人作呕的工作。如果你认为你的工作不好，那么这些靠着收集粪便谋生存的人呢？"夜香"是对粪便的一种委婉的说法。

这些以收集粪便为工作的人，奔走在厕所，粪坑和夜壶之间，目的就是获得充足的农作物肥料。在维多利亚时期的晚期，污水管道系统的发明，以及人们意识到人类便便的健康风险，致使这些午夜工人都失业了。

3. 水蛭搜集者

下面来看另一份有趣的工作（不是的）！人们付给水蛭搜集者钱，然后要求他们卷起裤腿，用他们的血肉作为水蛭的诱饵。一旦他们在腿上收集了足够多的水蛭，收集者就会将这些寄生虫从腿上撕下来，然后卖给医生用来放血，或者其他医疗用途。

收集水蛭是一份疯狂的工作。首先，水很冷。第二，收集者往往会因为水蛭导致的失血和感染而生病。第三，直到1900年，英国的吸血水蛭被一次大规模的收集，而濒临灭绝，因此这一工作也很快就没什么意义了。

【篇三】成功人士会在周五做什么呢?

1. Prioritize the coming week

Though you have two days between Friday and the next work week, knowing what to expect come Monday will help you relax over the weekend. Get a rough outline put together about the upcoming events, tasks, project deadlines, and other things that will be done. Discuss what will be happening in the future with your colleagues to make sure everyone is on the same page.

2. Go for a walk

If you have a decent lunch break, recharge your batteries by getting up from the desk and taking a walk. It does not have to be outside. Simply stretch your legs, meander the office space, and let your mind wander. If you can get outside, head somewhere where there is plenty of greenery, as this will boost your mood and make you feel more awake. Better yet, bring a group along for the trip for some team-building.

3. Visit your coworkers

A valuable resource in the office would be your coworkers. These people are tackling the same matters you are. Walk around the office, stopping by every desk to simply check in with people and learn a little about them.

Successful CEOs also use the end of the week to notice the accomplishments of their employees. Not only is it great to know the people you are working with, but the simple action of checking in with everyone creates a sense of community that boosts morale to finish the week on a high note.

4. Make a routine

Many CEOs and successful people are notorious for having routines. Organization is crucial to success, after all. Take 15 to 30 minutes every Friday to clean out your email inbox, clean the office, organize your files, catch up on the latest industry news, and reduce all that psychological clutter that could bog down your Monday.

【篇四】译文

1.安排好下一周的事情先后顺序

虽然你在周五和下一周的工作日之间有两天的时候，知道下周一要做什么，会有助于你在周末放松。做一个粗略的大纲，将下周的活动，任务，项目截止日期和其他将要完成的事情，放在一起。和你的同事讨论一下后面将要发生的事情，要确保每个人都达成共识。

2.散散步

如果你享受了非常好的午餐，你可以通过从桌子旁边站起来，然后散步一会儿来给自己充电。你并不需要去外面散步。简单地伸展你的胳膊，在办公室的空间中漫步，让你的思想得到放松。如果你可以到外面散步的haunted，你可以去一些绿化很多的地方，因为这可以振奋你的情绪，让你感觉更加清醒。更好的办法就是，你可以带着一个团队一起散步，有助于培养团队感情。

3.拜访你的同事

办公室内一种有价值的资源就是你的同事。这些人正在处理和你一样的问题。在办公室走一圈，在每个办公桌旁边停一下，然后看看其他人的工作，从他们身上学习一些东西。

成功的总裁也会利用一周快要结束的时候，看看员工的成绩。了解和你共事的人，不仅是一件很好的事情，而且这种简单的检查行为可以营造一种集体感，这种集体感可以提升士气，从而以一种成就的快感来结束一周的工作。

4.例行公事

许多总裁和成功人士都因为一些日常活动而出名。毕竟，组织性是成功的关键。你可以在每周五花15到30分钟来清理你的电子邮件收件箱，打扫办公室，整理你的文件，追踪一下近的行业新闻，减少这种心理上的混乱，否则这些会让你在周一的时候陷入困境。
