四．英译汉：

1. The first, and maybe the most important step, is to set a budget for yourself and stick by it. Take a look at your household income and outgo. Set the budget up to accommodate your payday schedule. In other words, if you get paid once a month, then you have to budget accordingly so that you won’t run out of money before the end of the month.

2. Even when at home, your work is the top priority.

You are totally committed and driven to work, and your happiness is found in your work. Work always seems to take precedence over family and leisure time. You have no social life other than work-related events.

3. Workaholics will spend most of their lives at work or taking work home with them. They will often have little time for personal lives — family, hobbies, or relaxation. Having a balance is not just a preferable desire; it is needed for overall mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health.
