走在朝九晚五上下班的路上的各位朋友，口袋君來問一個直指心靈的問題：你們知道work和job的區別是什麼嗎？
Job
A job is a regular and official activity that you do, and receive money (a salary) for your activity. It is also called a profession or an occupation. You can have a full-time job or a part-time job.
工作是你經常做的一項正式的活動，可以得到報酬（薪水）。同義詞有profession和occupation。你可以有一份全職工作或者一份兼職工作。
Work
The word work is more general than "job" – whereas "job" is a specific occupation/profession, "work" refers to general efforts and activities done to accomplish a goal. "Work can be done both inside an official job and outside a job!
Work這個詞比job更普遍，而job是一種特定的職業，work是指為實現目標而進行的一般努力和活動。Work既可以在正式工作中也可以在工作之外完成。
說完了這兩個詞的意思，那他們的具體區別又是什麼呢？
區別 1
work是不可數名詞，job是可數名詞。
例句：He got a new job. （一份新工作）
He got some work to do. （一些工作）
區別 2
work是動詞，job是名詞。
例句：He works very hard. （他工作非常努力。）
He likes his job very much. （他非常喜歡自己的工作。）
區別 3
一些固定用法，例如：
good job: 做得非常好！
at work: 在工作的地方
那接下來就要考考你們了，下面的幾個句子，是對是錯呢？
1/ Do you have a work?
2/ Do you have a job?
3/ Do you work every day?
4/ Do you job every day?
正確答案在此：
1/ Do you have a work? ×
2/ Do you have a job? ○
3/ Do you work every day? ○
4/ Do you job every day? ×
怎麼樣？以後遇到Job跟work是不是馬上就可以分辨用法了呢！
