37 -work o job?-
Nota d'usoI sostantivi work e job possono essere tradotti entrambi con “lavoro”, ma vengono usati in modo diverso. Job è numerabile, perciò al singolare viene preceduto da un articolo, mentre work in questo significato non è numerabile, quindi non va usato con l'articolo: I'm looking for a job, sto cercando un lavoro (non I'm looking for a work). Spesso work è preceduto da some o any: I have some work to do, ho del lavoro da fare. Work è numerabile quando si riferisce a opere d'arte o letterarie: Shakespeare's works, le opere di Shakespeare, oppure a opere pubbliche: road works, lavori stradali. -
