2017考研英语二翻译模拟题及答案（1）
Ted Ning worked as a salesman in that insurance company for a year because he simply didn ’t know what else to do, but felt his happiness and health suffer as a result. He eventually quit and stumbled upon a new company in a help-wanted advertisement for a data analyst.“I didn ’t know what the company was,” he says, “but I want to have a try ”. It turned out to be a better job than he could have ever imagined.
In contrast with his disastrous attempt into the insurance business, Ning ’s new job felt like coming home. From his ground-level job, Ning moved quickly up the ranks in the new company, becoming its executive director in 2006. Today, the company is booming, the organization is expandingand the market is evolving. Ning has more than grown into the position hestumbled on in the want ads. “I don ’t consider this a job. It is really more ofa calling."
