前一陣延遲退休的消息讓許多在壓力下茍延殘喘的底層白領(lǐng)們感覺更加悲慘，但其實(shí)換一個思路，如果工作讓你那么不快樂，你也可以選擇protirement——提前退休去追求自己熱愛的生活方式。當(dāng)然前提是你有足夠的財(cái)力支持或資金儲備。

Protirement is retiring or quitting an unattractive job to pursue work or hobbies more suited to one's personality.

“提前退休”指的是辭去已經(jīng)沒有吸引力的工作，轉(zhuǎn)而追求更適合自己個性的事業(yè)或愛好。

More than 80% of 30-to 35-year-old professionals claim they are unhappy at work, worn down by a combination of stress, boredom and the feeling that their job isn't giving back as much as they put into it.

超過80%的30歲到35歲的專業(yè)人士聲稱自己工作時并不快樂，壓力、厭倦、感到工作中投入和回報(bào)并不對等，這些都讓他們身心俱疲。

For many, that realisation leaves a straight choice between continuing in a career that pays well but makes them miserable, and doing something less lucrative but more fulfilling — a lifestyle option that has been dubbed "protirement". According to research, one in 15 under-35s is already "protired".

許多人都意識到這樣一個選擇，是繼續(xù)在薪水豐厚卻讓自己感覺悲慘的職場道路上走下去，還是做一些賺錢不多卻讓自己心靈充實(shí)的事情——后者被稱為protirement。根據(jù)調(diào)查，35歲以下的人15個當(dāng)中就有1個已經(jīng)“提前退休”了。
