If you have any doubts about what your dream career is, you may know which careers you definitely would not like to do.

　　A career related to your passion, bobby, or special interest, is the path to follow in finding your dream job. Try thinking about what things you like to do in your spare time. Many are attracted toward turning what they love to do in their off work hours into a full time job.

　　Once you find what you arc interested in doing, you can then match this to a career which will be similar to what you are passionate about.

If you are outgoing, maybe you would like to work with others, and be the supervisor.

　　【长难句解析】

　　1.A career related to your passion, bobby, or special interest, is the path to follow in finding your dream job.

　　【翻译】与你的激情，爱好，或者个人兴趣有关的职业是你找到梦想的职业的道路。

　　【分析】本句中的形容词短语related to your passion, bobby, or special interest作为定语修饰前面的名词a career;表语中的不定式to follow in finding your dream job也作为定语修饰前面的名词the path。

　　2. All it may take to find our dream career is to know ourselves a little better, trust in our own judgment, and be realistic about what we can attain occupationally: This is how I found what I am doing now.

　　【翻译】想要找到梦想职业需要更好地了解自己，相信自己的判断同时对于自己能够获得的职业足够现实。这就是我如何找到自己现在做做的工作的方法。

　　【分析】本句主语all后面有定语从句it may take to find our dream career。在all后面省略了that，that作为动词take的宾语，所以可以省略。同时句中的表语是不定式结构，表示具体的行为。其中介词about后面有宾语从句what we can attain occupationally。
