如题所述
work,job这两个词虽然都有“工作”的意思,但却是近义词。
work 作名词,有体力或脑力劳动的意思(在这一意义上的同义词有labour, toil),又有作为职业概念的“工作”的意思(在这一意义上的同义词有employment, occupation, calling)。

我也喜欢花园,但是我不喜欢辛苦的劳动。
You have done a day's work in three hours.

He is finding his new work far more exciting.
他现在发觉自己的新工作更加令人兴奋。
He is now out of work.
他现在失业了。
job 作为“工作”解,其实有两层含义:一个是“干活”的“活”,一个作为职业的“事”。job作“干活”的“活”解时的同义词有task, duty, assignment等;job作为职业的“事”解时有如下的同义词:position, place, situation, post等。
When you start a job, you must stick to it.
一旦你开始了一件工作,他就得持之以恒。

阿尔夫的妻子从来没有发现自己嫁给了一个清洁工,而且她再也不能发现自己丈夫是清洁工了,因为阿尔夫刚刚找到一种别的工作。
He is out of a job.
他现在失业了。
注:用英语表达“失业”,work和job这两个词都可以用,但是如果用job就必须用不定冠词a,如果用work,则不用不定冠词。
work,labour,toil这组名词的一般含义为“工作”或“劳动”。
work 可以指体力劳动、脑力劳动或机器干的活。从最广义上讲,它可以指大自然活动的任何结果。
I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work.
我也喜欢花园,但是我不喜欢艰苦的劳动。
But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble.
然而,作为一个老年人,他经历过人生的欢乐和忧伤,而且完成了他份内要做的一切工作,怕死就有点儿卑鄙和不光彩了。
labour 指人类体力、脑力的劳动,但更强调吃力、费劲或努力。此外,labour创造人类赖以生存的物质和精神财富。

那里绝大多数人靠体力劳动谋生。

The farmer's toil was rewarded with good crops.
那个农夫以辛勤的劳动换得了好收成。
work,employment,occupation,calling,pursuit这组同义词的一般概念是“职业”。work是最普通的词,没有什么特色,似乎可以代替本组词中的任何一个。
Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work.
即使如此,人们将仍然感到上班很难。
He is finding his new work far more exciting.
他现在觉得自己的新工作更加令人兴奋。

The workman went from town to town, working when he could find employment.
那个工人从一个城镇流浪到另一个城镇,找到职业时就干点活。
occupation可以表示employment的含义,但employment不能表示occupation的一切含义,因为occupation所表示的“职业”可以不含有为挣工资、薪水而工作的意思,也不包含雇用的意思。例如:老板的occupation是为了利润而工作。此外,occupation所指的“职业”可以是简单劳动也可以是复杂劳动
He wanted to look for occupation suited to his abilities.
他想找个适合自己才能的职业
He is a factory director by occupation.
他的职业是做厂长。
calling和occupation的差异仅在于:calling是应上帝的召唤而去工作,也可以是出于本人的天性或情趣而去工作。pursuit与occupation的含义最接近,但偏向于从事trade, craft和profession等“行业”的人的“职业”。
