1. 중요하게 생각한 문장
1)
We need to be clear that social work is not for the fainthearted.
2)
Social work is important, which means that you are important.
2-1)
사회사업은 중요하고, 그 말인즉 당신이 중요하다는 뜻이다.
2-2) ChatGPT
사회복지는 중요한 일입니다. 그렇기에 그 일을 하는 당신도 중요한 사람입니다.
Why are you in Social Work?
3)
At such times, we need to be clear about why we came into social work and – crucially –
the values that informed that decision. Our values are a key part of what motivates and sustains us.
4)
(…) so what is it about your set of values that makes you willing to expose yourself to such difficulties and risks?
Why the Interest in Doing Social Work?
5)
Holding on to our values and sustaining our commitment to compassion are
fundamental aspects of not only surviving, but also thriving.
6)
Similarly, a key part of this is our commitment to social justice.
A major feature of the motivation for at least the majority of people entering social work is
to make a contribution to a fairer and more humane society.
Challenging Life
7)
By its very nature social work is difficult and challenging work.
If situations were simple and straightforward, it is highly unlikely that they would end up on a social worker’s desk.
Some may see this as a negative, but I view it very positively.
That is because the more challenging a situation is, the greater is the potential to make a positive difference.
7-1)
이유인즉슨 도전적인 상황일수록, 긍정적인 변화를 만들 가능성이 더 커지기 때문이다.
7-2) ChatGPT
상황이 더 도전적일수록 긍정적인 차이를 만들어낼 잠재력도 더 커지기 때문이다.
8)
I know that my work makes a difference and that I’m doing something that is morally and ethically aligned with
who I want be and what I want to do, which is to leave the world and the people and systems I interact with
better than I found them.
9)
Social work allows me to pursue my passion for helping others and the world in a real, practical way.
10)
Social work is a profession dedicated to solving these issues
because there is a moral imperative to do so and a deep and relentless hope
in the fact that humans and structures can change and be better.
11)
Social workers think about basic human rights, who has the opportunity and access to live out the rights afforded to them, and what we need to do to improve their chances.
11-1)
사회사업가는 부여된 권리를 누리고 기회를 가진 사람들의 기본적인 인권과,
그들의 기회가 향상하기 위해 무엇을 할 필요가 있는지를 생각한다.
11-2) ChatGPT
사회복지사들은 인간의 기본적인 권리에 대해 생각하고,
사람들에게 주어진 이러한 권리를 실제로 누릴 수 있는 기회와 접근성을 누가 가지고 있는지,
그리고 그들이 그러한 권리를 누릴 가능성을 높이기 위해 우리가 무엇을 해야 하는지를 생각합니다.
The Spiritual Basis of Career Development
12)
When we talk of spiritual issues, we need to stress again that we are not necessarily talking about religion.
13)
So, one clear implication for practice is that we need to make sure that we do not lose sight of the spiritual dimension
of people’s lives and, indeed, of our work itself.
14)
Having a career (rather than just a series of different jobs) contributes considerably to our sense of who we are,
of what we are committed to and what direction we see ourselves heading in.
14-1)
(일련의 다른 직업을 갖기보다) 하나의 직업을 갖는 것은 우리가 누구인지, 무엇에 헌신하며
스스로가 나아가는 방향이 무엇인지 아는 감각에 상당하게 기여한다.
14-2) ChatGPT
단순히 여러 직업을 전전하는 것이 아니라 하나의 경력을 쌓는 것은 우리가 어떤 사람인지, 무엇에 전념하고 있는지,
그리고 앞으로 어떤 방향으로 나아가고 있다고 생각하는지에 대한 인식을 형성하는 데 상당히 큰 영향을 미칩니다.
15)
When we make a career move, we are not just taking our work in a particular direction,
we are also taking our lives in that direction.
16)
We are shaping our future in significant ways.
In a sense, we are making a statement (whether we intend to or not) about what we see as our purpose,
as what we are trying to achieve in (and with) our lives.
17)
The linking thread, of course, is meaning.
It is through these different aspects of spirituality that we create and sustain meaning in our lives.
18)
This, of course, is far more significant than a narrow ladder-climbing mentality.
Identity and pride
19)
What we mean, then, by think global, act local is that we must not lose sight of the big picture.
This means: (1) taking account of the macro as well as the micro; and
(2) keeping in mind how what social workers do on a day-to-day basis makes an important contribution to social welfare.
19-2)
(2) 사회사업가가 기본적으로 매일 하는 일이 사회복지에 중요한 기여를 만들고 있는 것을 명심하라.
19-2) ChatGPT
사회복지사들이 일상적으로 수행하는 업무가 사회복지에 중요한 기여를 한다는 점을 항상 생각하라.
Reaffirming Our Vision
20)
We get bogged down in the detail and narrow our focus to just getting through. When that happens, we lose our lifeline.
21)
Making sure that we do not lose sight of our vision and constantly reaffirm it (for ourselves and for our colleagues) is therefore a key part of both surviving and thriving.
Doing the Best We Can
22)
So, we need to be clear that there will be times where we have to get used to there being people we cannot help,
needs we cannot meet and so on.
23)
We need to find that middle ground of realism – being neither unduly pessimistic nor overly optimistic.
It should enable us to achieve that all-important aim of doing the best we can in difficult circumstances.
Be realistic!
24)
Arguing that some degree of discrimination is inevitable is certainly no justification
for not doing the best we can to keep it to a minimum.
25)
We therefore have to steer clear of this cynical defeatism,
while also not being naïve enough to think we can rid the world of discrimination through our practice.
25-1)
그러므로 우리는 이러한 냉소적인 패배주의를 가까이 하지 말아야 하며,
동시에 우리 실천으로 세상의 차별을 없앨 수 있다고 생각할 만큼 순진하지는 않아야 한다.
25-2) ChatGPT
따라서 우리는 이러한 냉소적인 패배주의를 피해야 하며,
동시에 우리의 실천을 통해 세상에서 차별을 완전히 없앨 수 있다고 생각할 만큼 순진해서도 안 됩니다.
26)
It is about being realistic about what we can achieve and doing our best to make sure that we achieve it as fully as possible.
Best practice
27)
As we see it, an important element of professionalism is striving for the best possible outcomes,
not lazily making do with the bare minimum required to avoid criticism or sanctions.
28)
Best practice is not about getting the best results, it is about being committed to getting the best results.
There are far too many variables that we do not have control over to guarantee success,
but we can guarantee that we will do our best – and we can take pride in that.
Coping with Burnout
29)
Unavoidably, social workers will face difficult situations,
but the experience of compassion satisfaction may mitigate the negative aspects of their experiences.
Managing Career
30)
If we think of our career as a journey, a pathway through our working life,
then we can think of career progression in terms of a process of enriching that journey as fully as possible,
gaining the greatest satisfaction, maximizing our learning and development
and making the best positive contribution we can to making our society a more humane one.
31-1)
우리가 직업을 하나의 여행, 직장 생활을 통해 나아가는 길이라고 생각한다면,
경력 발전은 그 여정을 가능한 한 풍요롭게 하는 과정이라는 측면에서 생각할 수 있고,
최대의 만족을 얻거나, 배움과 발전을 최대화하고
우리 사회를 더 인간적인 사회로 만드는 데 최선의 긍정적인 기여를 할 수 있게 만든다.
31-2) ChatGPT
우리의 경력을 직업 생활을 거쳐 가는 하나의 여정, 즉 하나의 경로라고 생각한다면,
경력의 발전은 그 여정을 가능한 한 풍요롭게 만들어 가는 과정이라고 생각할 수 있습니다.
다시 말해, 가장 큰 만족을 얻고, 우리의 학습과 성장을 최대한 이끌어 내며,
우리 사회를 더욱 인간적인 사회로 만드는 데 우리가 할 수 있는 가장 긍정적인 기여를 하는 것입니다.
We are Social Workers.
32)
The world has nurtured us, and now we nurture it in return.
Be Proud
33)
As we are all very much aware, social work is not about easy answers.
It is about the struggle to support, protect and empower people who are facing significant challenges in their lives.
34)
What we must not do is internalize these difficulties as if they are signs of our own inadequacy.
35)
Perhaps what we need to remember most of all is that alleviating suffering –
and indeed preventing it where possible – is best done collectively. We really are in this together.
35-1)
아마도 우리가 가장 기억해야 할 것은 그 고통을 완화하고 -
그리고 실제로 그것을 가능한 만큼 예방하는 것은 공동으로 하는 것이 최선이다. 우리는 정말 함께다.
35-2) ChatGPT
무엇보다 기억해야 할 것은, 사람들의 고통을 덜어 주고,
가능하다면 그런 고통이 생기는 것 자체를 예방하는 일은 혼자가 아니라 모두가 함께할 때 가장 효과적으로 이루어진다는 점입니다.
결국 우리는 이 일을 함께 해나가고 있는 것입니다.
