901　Cradle-to-grave Job 从摇篮到坟墓的职业

For 24 years, I worked in a diaper factory alongside my buddy Mike, who had spent his entire career there. When the plant closed, a casket company purchased the building and hired Mike. All of which just goes to prove that even in this day of factory closings and outsourced work, there is still such a thing as a cradle-to-grave job.

我在一家生产尿片的工厂干了24年，而我的朋友麦克则一辈子在这家工厂工作。工厂关闭的时候，一家棺材公司买下了这栋建筑，并且雇佣了麦克。这一切都证明，即使目前公司倒闭、国外转产成风，仍然存在着所谓“从摇篮到坟墓的职业”。
