我用“事成 ” （ prospering，来自拉丁语prospere，意思是“如希望或期望的 ” ） 来描述一个人工作中的成功体验：手艺人看到自己的技能获得其他人的高评价而得到满足，商人看到自己的“船靠岸”而得到的满足，或学者从荣誉教职中所获得的价值感。
I have used the word “prospering” (from the Old Latin prospere, meaning “as hoped, or expected”) to refer to the experience of succeeding in one’s work: a craftsman’s gratification at seeing his skills valued by others, a merchant’s satisfaction at seeing his “ships come in,” or a scholar’s sense of validation from an honorary professorship.
