　　Researchers have studied the influence of parents and the family on children’s career choice and development.

　　就父母和家庭对子女的职业生涯选择和发展的影响，人们已做了不少研究。

　　Some researchers demonstrate links between career development and such factors as socioeconomic status, parents’ educational and occupational attainment, and cultural background.

　　Overall family functioning, a broader concept that encompasses parenting style, parental support and guidance, positive or negative environmental influences, and family members’ interaction styles.

　　总的来说，家庭的作用是一个较广义的概念，包括父母的养育风格、父母的支持和指点、正面或负面的环境影响以及家庭成员的相互影响。

　　Family functioning has a greater influence on career development than either family structure (size, birth order, number of parents) or parents’ educational and occupational status.

　　家庭的作用比家庭结构(大小、出声阶层、是否单亲家庭)和父母所受的教育程度及职业地位对子女的职业发展影响更大。

　　Parental support and guidance can include specific career or educational suggestions as well as experiences that indirectly support career development, such as family vocation, provision of resources such as books, and modeling of paid and non-paid work roles.

　　父母的支持和指点可以包括具体的职业教育建议和对职业发展有直接指导作用的经验，比如家族职业、资源的供应(如书)、从事义务与非义务工作方面的榜样。

　　The absence of support, guidance, and encouragement can lead to “floundering,” the inability to develop and pursue a specific career focus.

　　没有父母的支持、指点和鼓励，子女有可能会“出差错”，没有具体明确的职业重心。

　　Lack of support can also take the form of conflict, when a parent pressures a child toward a particular career and may withdraw financial and emotional support for a career path not of the parent’s choosing.

　　当父母施压强制子女从事某一职业，或当子女违背父母的意愿另择职业时，父母就有可能撤回经济与精神上的支持，这些都会导致矛盾冲突。

　　Family functioning also includes the response to circumstances such as poverty, alcoholism, marital instability, and illness or death of family members.

　　家庭的作用还包括家庭成员对某些问题的态度与反应，如贫困、酗酒、婚姻的不稳定性、疾病与死亡。

　　Sometimes an individual may respond to a stressful or negative family environment by making hasty, unreflective career choices in an attempt to escape or survive.

　　有时紧张或负面的家庭环境会导致个人未经仔细思考就仓促做出职业选择以逃避家庭或维持生存。

　　On the other hand, critical life events can spur a transformative learning experience that may shape a career and life direction.

　　另一方面，重大的人生事件可能改变一个人的学习经历，学习经历会决定职业的发展方向和生活导向。

　　Interactions between parents and children and among siblings are a powerful influence.

　　父母与子女及兄弟姐妹间的相互影响很大。

　　Interactions can include positive behaviors such as showing support and interest and communicating openly, or negative behaviors such as pushing and controlling.

　　相互影响可以包括正面的行为，如表示支持、表示感兴趣和坦率地交流;或有负面影响的行为，如逼迫和控制。

　　By sharing workplace stories, expressing concern for children’s future, and modeling work behaviors, parents serve as a context for interpreting the realities of work.

　　通过分享工作场所的故事，表达对孩子未来的关心和树立工作行为的榜样，父母为子女提供了一个诠释工作现实问题的环境。

　　Parent-child connectedness facilitates risk taking and exploration, which are needed for identity formation in general as well as for the formation of vocational identity.

　　父母—子女的血统关系会促进子女去冒险、去探索，这对子女的发展和职业选择都是必须的。

　　Siblings can be a source of challenge and competition and a basis for comparison of abilities, thus providing a context for identity formation.

　　兄弟姐妹可以使挑战、竞争、能力较量的根源，从而为个人发展创造环境。

　　Because career development is a lifelong process, “family of origin development is a lifelong process”, “family of origin continues to have an influence through the life span”.

　　由于职业发展是一个终身的过程，(由于)“在出身家庭的成长是一个终身的过程”，(因此)“出身家庭对一个人的影响会持续一辈子”。
