How do you find your job?

中文是什麼意思?問人家怎麼找到工作?

錯!正確意思是:「你喜歡你的工作嗎?」

這裡的 find 表示「覺得;認為」。這句話等於問:

How do you like/percieve your job? 

如果要問別人怎麼找到這份工作,要改成過去式:

How did you find your job? 

------------------------------------------------------------------

More examples: (後面要接受詞,再加形容詞或其他補語)

l   I find the book entertaining. 

l   I find the person very warm and friendly.

l   I find you very helpful as a librarian.

l   I find you to be a great friend. And I love this community.
But I find this place too comfortable sometimes.

l   Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?

 How do you find your job? 可能回答:(覺得工作太上手,想到外頭再闖一闖)

I can tell you right now. I find my job pretty easy.
But even though I love my work here, I find myself
wanting to do something different. You see… I’m
thinking of leaving actually. I just feel like going away,
somewhere far away from this town. I wannna go
somewhere to have a different life, and persume
a writing career.
