5. You feel like the day just started when it’s suddenly lunchtime.

　　5. 你感觉还没过多久就到午餐时间了。

　　Have you ever done this? You’ve gone through a couple of tasks, maybe answered a few quick emails, or tidied up some things left from the previous day and are ready to dig into the bigger work when you look at the time and it’s 11:47 a.m.? Where the heck did the morning go? If it’s easy for you to get into flow, meaning you’re working on something that is not too easy but not so challenging you can’t do it, you’re doing work that is juuuust right for you.

　　你有这样的经历吗?你完成了几个任务，也许是回复了几封邮件，或是把昨天剩下的事情处理完了，正准备大干一场的时候看了一下时间，发现已经到了11点47分。你惊觉时间都去哪儿了?如果你很容易就进入工作状态，意味着你做的事情既不简单但又不至于有太大的挑战，那么你现在的工作就是最最最适合你的。

　　6. You are constantly inspired by the people around you.

　　6. 你经常被身边的人鼓舞。

　　The things they seem to accomplish can sometime blow you away. You admire their tenacity in their work and you want to support them any way you can so that they can keep being awesome. You love what you are all working toward collectively as a team. Typically, when we are feeling good, we see the good in others. So by admiring the work of others, it’s coming from a place of admiring your own work as well.

　　他们所做的事有时候能让你惊呆。你羡慕他们坚毅的工作态度，你想要不惜任何代价支持他们让他们能一直这样充满干劲。你喜欢和他们作为一个团队一起工作。通常，当我们自我感觉良好的时候，我们也能看见别人的亮点。所以钦佩别人的工作的同时，你一定也喜欢自己的工作。

　　7. You find yourself looking at your extracurricular life in terms of work.

　　7. 你发现自己从工作角度看待业余生活。

　　You are not strict about mentally checking out of work when you don’t have to be there. You like your work, so you also like thinking about it outside of office hours. You find yourself solving problems, brainstorming ideas, and thinking in terms of how something in your life relates to something in your work. Like Newton and the apple, sometimes your greatest ideas come to you when you are far from the office.

　　不在工作时间，你不会严格要求自己想着工作。但如果你喜欢自己的工作，你就会在业余时间也想着工作。你会发现自己在解决问题，头脑风暴想法，思考生活中的事情是如何和工作上的事情联系在一起的。就像牛顿和苹果一样，有时候最好的想法往往是在你远离办公场所的时候诞生的。

　　8. You don’t dread Sunday night.

　　8. 你不会在周日晚上焦虑不安。

　　For people who don’t like their jobs, every day of the week has a certain quality. Monday is for the blues, Wednesday is halfway there, and Friday is the sweetest day of the weekbecause it means they are one lazy work day away from the weekend. Many Saturdays are occupied by a hangover, and Sunday, well, even though it’s a day off, it can feel like one of the most dreadful because another work week is around the corner. But when you like the work, Sunday is a great day! Just like most of the other days. It’s always so nice to have time to take care of our homes, spend quality time with family and friends, or just go out and explore. But when Sunday does finally come around, it’s almost exciting to get back to work after a refreshing weekend.

　　对于不喜欢自己工作的人来说，一周的每一天都有不同的特性。周一是悲哀的，周三就减半了，周五就是最开心的日子了，因为离周末只有一天了，懒散地打发一下就过去了。周六大多都是在宿醉中度过的，周日，好了，虽然这天也休息，但是却可能是感觉最糟的一天因为下一周不远了。但如果你喜欢工作，周日就是完美的一天!就像一周其他几天一样。有时间照顾家里，和家人朋友度过有意义的一天，或出去探索一番总是令人愉悦的。但周日真得到了，最激动的还是在周末恢复精力后又能回去工作了。
