Winston Churchill once said, "It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do." Given the increasing pressure in the job markets, as an undergraduate about to leave college, do you agree or disagree with him? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案
Better Happy than Free Frank Tyger, editorial cartoonist, columnist and humorist for the Times, used to say, "Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness". There is no such thing as absolute freedom, but happiness, in my opinion, is much more attainable. It’s thus better and more realistic to try to like what you do than to do what you like. To begin with, to be freely doing what you like is a lucky thing, while liking what you do is a sign of maturity. Youth is a period of life when all future directions remain open and uncertain. Few young people have a clear idea about what they want to do in life. Consequently, they tend to keep one eye on the current job and the other on other possibilities. Some might even hop from one job to another due to mood swings or frustrations at work, forever in search of where they belong in the world. It is when they begin to settle down and make an effort to like what they do that a career starts to take shape. What is more, doing what you like is a dream for everyone whereas liking what you do is an earnest and down-to-earth choice in the face of reality. Dreams, however beautiful, are what you wake up from. And not everyone has the privilege to wake up every day doing exactly what he wishes to do, especially with the mounting pressure in finding a job and in living up to the expectations of a boss breathing down your neck every single second. In light of a swaying job market, it is advisable for young people to endeavor to enjoy what they do as long as they don’t develop an aversion to it. Last but not least, what you like is better kept as an outside interest. It’s a common phenomenon that people are apt to bear resentment against what they do as a living. If you choose what you like as a career, you are likely to find yourself with few options left when work wears you out. If you try to like whatever you do while keeping your real interest as a refreshing hobby to turn to when boredom and weariness trouble you, you will end up living a more enriched and colorful life. As Frank Tyger pointed out, "You may not always be happy in freedom, and you may not always be free in happiness." I would prefer to be happily chained than to be sadly free.

幸福似乎主要是一种内心快乐的状态。不过,它不是一般的快乐,而是非常强烈和深刻的快乐,以至于我们此时此刻会由衷地觉得活着是多么有意思,人生是多么美好。正是因为这样,幸福最直接的体验包含着我们对生命意义的肯定评价。感到幸福,也就是感到自己生命的意义得到了实现。
