求大学英语2试卷翻译,谢谢!

A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do;what from the point of view of society labor is from his owm point of view voluntary play.Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends,not on the job itself,but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it.

A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do
同样是工作拿报酬,你欣然而往,才是一个worker(work和labor的区别)

what from the point of view of society labor is from his owm point of view voluntary play.

这句话我怎么也看不懂,不通顺。不过意思可能是:
从外界(society)看这(the job)就是个工作,而你却看把它(the job)看做是自愿的玩乐(voluntary play)。意思是你认为工作是生活中的一种追求和乐趣

Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends,not on the job itself,but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it.

某个job到底是属于labor还是work的范畴,不是由job本身决定的,而是由这个undertaker对这个job的主观理解决定的

一个你认为枯燥无趣,仅为生计所逼的job就是labor。
一个你认为有趣且愿意从事的job就是work
区别在于你的主观看法(your personal taste depends)

一个工人,如果他个人感兴趣的是社会支付他做的工作;从社会的观点来看,劳动是他自己自愿去做的。一份工作是否被算成是劳作还是事业,不是取决于工作本身,而是从事这份工作的工人的口味或者想法。
