【参考范文】
The table above gives the information about the survey of employment satisfaction in a company. After carefully studying the data in the table, we may safely conclude that the percentage of people under 40 who hold unclear or discontent feelings with their jobs are respectively 50% and 33.3%. 64% of those between 40 to 50 are not satisfied and no one feels satisfied at all while the degree of satisfaction, for people over 50, largely exceeds the other groups, amounting to 40%。

A variety of reasons might have contributed to the differences, and here I would like to lay emphasis on the following two reasons. First, owing to the enormous pressure from supporting the family, the enjoyment in work for middle-aged people has obviously decreased. In addition, since the seniors have largely climbed up the corporate ladder and developed a mature mindset through the previous working experiences, they can keep a positive attitude and see the optimistic aspects at the workplace on most occasions.
Taking what we have discussed above into consideration, we can safely reach the conclusion that the seniors have a higher rate of satisfaction and enjoyment at work compared to the young and middle-aged people under 50—this trend is the natural result of this era of transformation, and it may continue for quite a long time.
【参考译文】
这个表格提供了有关某家公司工作满意度的调查信息。

在仔细研究表格当中的数据之后，我们可以有把握地得出结论：40岁以下对工作态度不明确或不满的员工比例分别是50%和33.3%。

64%的40到50岁的员工对工作不满意，且没有一个人对工作满意，而50岁以上员工的满意度大大超过了其他年龄组，达到40%。

许多原因促使产生了这些变化，这里我主要想强调以下两个原因。

首先，由于存在抚养家庭的巨大压力，对中年员工而言，工作的快乐已经明显减少了。

此外，由于老年员工大部分已经获得了职场的晋升，且通过之前的工作经历形成了成熟的心态，他们可以保持乐观的态度，且在大部分情况下，他们能看到工作中积极的方面。

考虑到以上讨论的内容，我们可以有把握地得出这样的结论：老年员工有更高的满意度，且相较于50岁以下的青年及中年员工，老年员工对工作更有快乐感——这一趋势是这个转型期的自然结果，这一趋势也许会持续很长一段时间。

conclude后的that引导宾语从句，who引导定语从句。

3) A variety of reasons might have contributed to the differences, and here I would like to lay emphasis on the following two reasons.许多原因促使产生了这些变化，这里我主要想强调以下两个原因。

4) Taking what we have discussed above into consideration, we can safely reach the conclusion that the seniors have a higher rate of satisfaction and enjoyment at work compared to the young and middle-aged people under 50.考虑到以上讨论的内容，我们可以有把握地得出这样的结论：老年员工有更高的满意度，且相较于50岁以下的青年及中年员工，老年员工对工作更有快乐感。

句首的taking为现在分词引导的状语，conclusion后的that引导同位语从句。

5) This trend is the natural result of this era of transformation, and it may continue for quite a long time.这一趋势是这个转型期的自然结果，这一趋势也许会持续很长一段时间。
