2016年10月29日雅思大作文题目公司高管应该获得高工资吗?
It is a good thing for those in the senior management position to have much higher salaries than other workers in the same company or organisation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
公司或机构的管理人员的收入是否应该比一般工人或工作人员高很多?可能多数人的答案是肯定的。唐老师听说(但没有具体证明),在国外企业(比如Microsoft, IBM, Google等),高管人员收入大大超过普通员工,当然其承担压力也是一般员工所无法比拟的。那么,到底哪些因素决定高管收入要大大超过普通员工呢?可能很多同学对这个问题没有什么头绪,甚至想不出什么内容来,更不要说讲出一些有逻辑有条理的道理来。那么,此时此刻,请再次回读唐老师在“新航道三分钟学雅思”雅思作文真题直击”专栏中的所有文章(文章最下方有链接),深刻体会唐老师提出的“三大层次”理论(物质层次、心理层次、社会层次),然后将其应用到现在这个题目中来。
很清楚,公司企业高管承担的责任更大,要管理的事务更多,与只需做好本职工作的普通员工相比,需要投入更多时间和精力,这无疑是高管应该得到更高收入的条原因,即物质原因。其次,高管们要对公司企业的业绩负责,在激烈的市场竞争中确保公司企业的良性运作,他们要承担的心理压力要大得多,这当然就是他们理应获得更高收入的第二条原因,即心理原因。第三,千军易得,一将难求,普通员工容易找到,而的高管却是稀缺人才,按照供求关系决定价格的基本理论,这难道不是高管收入理应大大高于普通员工的第三条原因,即社会原因吗?当然,并非所有时候、所有高管的收入都应大大高于普通员工,比如一位工作不投入,管理没水平,业绩不突出的高管当然不配高收入,另外,当经济下行,社会对普通技术工人的需求甚至高于对高管的需求时,高管的收入也不会比普通员工高很多。
这样,按照唐老师的“三大层次”理论,本题“写什么”的问题迎刃而解。接下来,请仔细阅读唐老师如何用英语具体演绎“怎么写”的问题。

Those who hold a senior management position are paid much higher than other workers and technicians in the same company or organisation. I believe this is reasonable because the top executives usually work longer hours and under greater pressure, and more importantly, they are harder to find in the job market.
Compared with other workers or technicians whose main task it is to perform their own responsibilities, a top manager has to fully grasp the market dynamics before making suitable business plans and then coordinates various resources available to him/her to achieve the targets and objectives. This means the top executive has to work with people of all levels in the company such as HR, financial officers, technology people, technicians, and so on, and not surprisingly, he/she has to work many extra hours. Besides longer work hours, the high-level manager has to work under tremendous load of stress because he/she is probably the only one to be responsible for the survival, development and profitability of the company. If he or she fails in managing a company, his/her whole professional career may be at stake. We have had numerous examples of top managers who can no longer find a job after their failure in the previous positions. Just because the top management positions are highly demanding, people suitable for these positions are hard to come by. As a matter of fact, there are always more excellent technicians than managers in the job market, which is an important reason why top managers can often earn much higher salaries than technicians.
Of course, there are always managers out there who are paid highly yet should not be. They are not efficient or effective, nor cooperative enough to lead their team. At the same time, we can also always find the most excellent technicians or workers who receive the same salaries as their managers. This most likely happens when the economy is suffering from recession,where the demand for the technicians is even higher than the managers.
参考译文
身居管理层的人比公司或组织里的工人和技术人员收入高得多。我认为这是合理的,因为高管们经常工作时间更长,压力更大,更重要的是,他们在工作市场中很难找到。
与主要任务是完成本职工作的其他工人或技术人员相比,经理必须首先要完全把握市场动态,然后作出恰当的商业计划,并协调能使用的各种资源来实现目标。这意味着高层管理者必须与公司里的各级人员打交道,包括人事、财务、技术人员和技师等,毫不足怪,高管必须加班加点。除了工作时间更长,高层经理还必须在高度压力下工作,因为他/她也许是对公司生存、发展和盈利负责的人。如果他/她管理一家公司失败,他/她就可能付出整个职业生涯的代价。我们已经见过很多这样的经理,他们在之前的岗位上失败后就再也找不到工作了。正是由于高层职位要求很高,很不容易找到适合这些职位的人选。事实上,在职业市场上,的技术工人往往多于的经理,这也是为什么经理们挣得比技术工人多的一个重要原因。
当然,也总有那么一些经理挣得很多,可不应该挣那么多。他们没有效率,没有效力,也没有合作精神,无法领导团队。同时,我们也发现那些最的技术人员往往和他们的经理挣得一样多。这种情况最有可能发生在当经济不振,市场对技术人员的需求甚至高于对管理人员的需求之时。
