L4-(1): The double life of Alfred Bloggs
These days,
people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices.
People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar workers" for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work.
Such is human nature,
that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.
This can give rise to curious situations,
as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married,
Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job.
He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation.

练习感悟：今天的课文用了挺长的时间，已经录制了几遍，但是感觉有几个音没有发好，于是又重新来过了。发到群里时居然还是第一个发的，看来随着课文难度的增加，会越来越考验人的了。继续要加油。
