你是不是因为工作而忙得晕头转向？平时没时间看书，一年到头也没法旅游一次，而且还成为“亚健康”一族。当你无法从工作中得到一点乐趣，只能感受到无所不在的压力时，你是否需要开始思考一下这样工作的意义？
“裸辞”，就此产生。这个时下职场的流行词，指的是还没找好下家就辞职，不考虑后路，毅然决然地离开。当工作压力让身心疲惫达到了极限，长期缺乏工作幸福感，你是否也敢选择“裸辞”呢？就像下文中的Kieran一样，你们也许都需要一段纠结的时间。
Kieran: I don’t know how much more I can take of this!
Anna: Well good morning to you too.
Kieran: Ah, sorry. I’ve been having a hell of a morning.
Anna: More so than usual?
Kieran: I guess not. But that’s kind of the point though, isn’t it?
Anna: What point?
Kieran: ①I just can’t deal with this anymore.
Anna: You can’t deal with what?
Kieran: This job. The OT. The pressure. The deadlines. The stress. ②I’m just done.
Anna: Wow, ③you’re really throwing in the towel?
Kieran: Oh c’mon, can you really tell me that you don’t feel the same? I mean, we both put up with the same ridiculousness day in and day out—you must be sick of it.
Anna: Hey man, I’m a glass-half-full kinda gal. I feel you on the stress thing, but I’m going somewhere in this job.
Kieran: ④Is that really all there is?
Anna: You mean is success the only important thing? I guess not, but I’m also given a lot of space to be creative here.
Kieran: There are lots of jobs that can lead to creative positions.
Anna: Yeah but not many companies are willing to let entry-levels contribute to the innovation process, so ⑤I do my best to keep my head down and my mouth shut.
Kieran: I just don’t know how you do it. I swear I’m losing my mind bit by bit.
Anna: ⑥Then pull up your socks and quit.
Kieran: What? Just outright quit? Are you serious?
Anna: Of course. If you’re so miserable, then do something about it.
Kieran: But ⑦I’ve got no plan B. I don’t have much money saved and ⑧it’s not like companies are tripping over each other to knock down my door.
Anna: Who cares? Hell, ⑨it doesn’t even need to be a career right now—just something to keep you afloat.
Kieran: I dunno. Seems risky.
Anna: Yeah but, in the end, what’s more important: your career or your happiness?
Kieran: Good question. I’ll have to think about it.
Anna: You do that. But for now, quit your 1)whining! Some of us have work to do.
基兰：我真不知道还能忍受（这份工作）多长时间！
安娜：噢，你也早啊。（译者注：因为基兰甚至连招呼都没打就在跟安娜抱怨了，所以安娜以此来提醒他。）
基兰：啊，对不起。我简直就是在经历一个痛苦的早晨。
安娜：比平时更痛苦吗？
基兰：我想都差不多。不过那就是关键，不是吗？
安娜：什么关键？
基兰：我只是没法儿再应付这事儿了。
安娜：你不能再应付什么？
基兰：这份工作。加班、压迫感、最后限期、极端的工作压力。我受够了。
安娜：哇，你真的就这么被打倒了吗？
基兰：哦，好吧，你真能告诉我你就没有同样的感受吗？我的意思是，我们同样都在经受荒谬的每一天，你应该也感到厌倦吧。
安娜：嘿，老兄，我是个看待问题往好的一面想的女孩。虽然我也能感受到你所说的压力的一面，但是我在这份工作中有我想要的东西。
基兰：真的只有这些理由吗？
安娜：你指的是成功是唯一重要的东西吗？我并不这么觉得，不过我在这里也得到了很多空间去创新。
基兰：很多工作都有有创意的职位。
安娜：是的，但是没有太多公司愿意让初来者参与改革工作，所以我尽量保持低调，也不言语。
基兰：我真不知道你是怎么做到的。我确定我在一点点地疯掉。
安娜：那就赶紧辞职吧。
基兰：什么？就这么辞职？你不是开玩笑吧？
安娜：当然。如果你这么痛苦的话，那就行动起来。
基兰：但是我都还没有找好下一份工作呢。我存款并不多，而且也没有什么工作机会主动来找我。
安娜：谁在乎呢？眼下你甚至不需要一份事业，只需要维持生活嘛。
基兰：我不知道。似乎太冒险了。
安娜：是的，不过，最终什么更重要呢？是你的事业还是你的快乐？
基兰：好问题。我得好好思考一下。
安娜：你确实需要思考一下。但是，现在就别在这叫唤了！某些人还有工作要做呢！
