劳动是大部分人的常态，劳动也是大部分人改善生活的主要手段。崇尚奋斗是不变的主旋律，提倡奋斗也是一种积极的价值观。但是，奋斗和劳动如果被异化成“拿命换钱”，那就变味儿了。
We live in an age when everyone is struggling for a better life, mostly by laboring. It is positive and healthy for society to praise the struggling spirit, because that is how wealth is created and society moves forward. However, the struggling spirit should never be interpreted as “trading life for money”.
我们劳动是为了更好的生活，人要是没了，创造的财富又有什么用？钱要靠努力去挣，但从来都不是、也永远都不该是拿命换的。“拿命换钱”，这个表述就离谱。
We struggle for better lives of the people, ourselves included; the people are the ends, not means, of that struggle. If life is being traded for money, then the wealth created and accumulated this way is of no use. The phrase “trading life for money” is rather weird because life can never be traded for money.
从劳动者个人角度，当努力学习知识，保护自己的合法权益；从企业角度，应当尊重自己的职工、自觉遵守劳动法律法规；从国家角度，则应当公平立法并严格执法，让劳动者创造财富的同时，也能更好享受到财富和社会进步带来的便利。
It is important for the laborers to know their rights and never compromise. Enterprises must honor the law and respect their employees’ rights. For society, it is necessary to legislate more good laws and strictly enforce them, so that laborers get better protection. Laborers create wealth, and they should enjoy the wealth they create. There should be no room for distorting good practices and statements.
