1. 人們業(yè)余生活的方式，可以很大程度地反映一個(gè)社會(huì)：a, 可以反映人們的生活態(tài)度。 一種更加積極樂觀的心態(tài)，會(huì)使人們更加活躍地energetically participate in various kinds of activities after work。反之，則不同。b, 具體業(yè)余生活的種類，可以幫助人們了解社會(huì)的偏好preference，比如健身，體現(xiàn)了對健康的關(guān)注；比如文學(xué)，可以了解社會(huì)的精神豐富程度。c, 最后，與誰一起度過業(yè)余生活，更可以反映整個(gè)社會(huì)人與人之間的親密程度。to which degree are people correlated with each other.
2. 但是，也不能忽視工作對社會(huì)的反映作用。首先，工作占用the time that people spend on work amounts to the greatest fraction of total life. 在工作中表現(xiàn)出來的特點(diǎn)，是人們生活的重要部分。第二，工作的狀態(tài)可以反映出一個(gè)社會(huì)的生產(chǎn)力水平，重視效率的程度。第三，工作的種類可以反映社會(huì)對于不同product and service的demand。從另一個(gè)角度反映社會(huì)的價(jià)值取向。reflect the values of the community from a different sight.
3. 這兩個(gè)不能分開，要合理地結(jié)合在一起，才能understand one community more accurately and comprehensively.
