我們都知道普遍意義上的勞動(dòng)分為腦力勞動(dòng)（mental labor）和體力勞動(dòng)（manual labor）兩種。如今，一種新的勞動(dòng)形式emotional labor（情緒勞動(dòng)）走入我們的視野。你聽說過嗎？

Emotional labor is a form of emotional regulation wherein workers are expected to display certain emotions as part of their job, and to promote organizational goals. The intended effects of these emotional displays are on other, targeted people, who can be clients, customers, subordinates or co-workers.

情緒勞動(dòng)（emotional labor）指要求員工在工作時(shí)展現(xiàn)某種特定情緒以達(dá)到其所在職位工作目標(biāo)的勞動(dòng)形式。這些特定情緒針對(duì)的目標(biāo)人群有：客戶、顧客、下屬，或者同事。

Example professions that require emotional labor are that of nurses and doctors, waiting staff, actors (e.g. in a movie kiss), as well as airline stewardesses.

有情緒勞動(dòng)需求的職業(yè)有：護(hù)士、醫(yī)生、服務(wù)員、演員（比如要在電影中表演接吻場(chǎng)景），以及空乘人員等。
