下午好，各位打工人!
近日，“打工人”爆红网络，受到各行各业年轻人的追捧，但这词到底说的是个啥？
“打工人”是那些依靠体力或技术的劳动者的统称。除了赚钱这个最大的目标，别的啥也不想；他们意志坚定，也不会迟到早退。Dagong ren（laborer, commuter） is a general term for workers who engage in physical labor or are technically skilled. With making money as their first and only goal, laborers are a resolute group, and would never be caught arriving late to work or leaving early.
有网友说，“打工人”的说法背后是千万草根的自嘲，他们压力大、工作环境不如意。
不过，“打工人”却也不仅仅指代“蓝领”，还包括普通职员和中高层管理人员（It applies to all kinds of employees, from blue-collar workers and low-level staff to managers and top executives）。
它没有社畜（corporate slave）显得那么惨，也没打工仔（migrant worker）显得那么卑微，透露出小人物在平凡生活中的不懈追求。
例句：
世上只有两种最耀眼的光芒，一种是太阳，一种是打工人努力的模样。
There are two exceptionally dazzling lights in this world. One is sunshine, and the other is the face of a diligent laborer!
