在不同的工作崗位上，我們都能看到一些退休后被返聘的老同志與年輕人一起戰斗。有些老同志是因為才能卓越，目前無(wú)人能替，所以繼續戰斗；還有些老同志是因為喜歡辦公室的熱鬧，愿意在退休后為自己的崗位發(fā)揮余熱。這些可愛(ài)的老同志都可以叫做nevertiree。 Nevertiree refers to someone who continues to work beyond the age when people usually retire. The term nevertiree is formed from a blend of never and retiree. 
Nevertiree（永不退休的人）指過(guò)了常規的退休年齡仍然繼續工作的人。Nevertiree這個(gè)詞是由never（永遠不）和retiree（退休的人）這兩個(gè)詞組合而成的。 Conventionally, retirement is perceived as something that most people look forward to – the freedom to rest, travel, or pursue whatever interests they have, without the daily grind of turning up at the office. But for a certain section of the population, it seems that the golf course, spending winters in sunnier climes and all those other retirement clichés have lost their appeal. For these folks, recently dubbed the nevertirees, the prospect of retirement just can't compete with the stimulation of the workplace. 一般說(shuō)來(lái)，大家都覺(jué)得退休是很多人都向往的一件事——可以自由選擇休息、旅行或者追求任何自己感興趣的事情，不用想著(zhù)要每天去辦公室上班。不對，對一部分人來(lái)說(shuō)，高爾夫球場(chǎng)、在陽(yáng)光明媚的地方過(guò)冬以及其它所有退休后的享樂(lè )都沒(méi)有吸引力。在這些被稱(chēng)為“永不退休的人”看來(lái)，退休后的狀況跟職場(chǎng)的新鮮刺激是沒(méi)法比的。 For the nevertiree, it seems that it's not just about making more money. If someone has spent their working life in a stimulating job – doing deals, solving problems or making a big contribution to society – it's not surprising that they might miss the adrenaline rush and satisfaction of continuing to work. Many high-earning, successful professionals feel defined by their work and lose a sense of their own identity without it. Others enjoy the company of their peers and would find it hard to let go of professional friendships. 在他們眼里，不退休并不僅僅是為了掙更多的錢(qián)。如果某人的工作生涯充滿(mǎn)挑戰和刺激——完成交易、解決問(wèn)題或者對社會(huì )做出巨大貢獻——他們在退休后會(huì )想念這樣的刺激和繼續工作的成就感也就不奇怪了。很多高收入、高成就的專(zhuān)業(yè)人員認為是工作成就了自己，如果不工作，他們會(huì )覺(jué)得喪失了自我。另外一些人則是喜歡同僚們的陪伴，覺(jué)得要放棄職場(chǎng)友情是件很困難的事情。 |
