The world is going digital, and Software Engineers who can help with that transformation are reaping the benefits. Their pay is great, hiring demand for their skills is through the roof, and working conditions have never been better. And that’s why the job of Software Engineer ranks tops in our annual Jobs Rated report on the nation’s best and worst jobs for 2012.

　　世界正在進行數字化的變革，推動此變革的軟件工程師正從中獲益。他們的薪水豐厚，所在行業的就業需求也在飛速增長，工作條件也是好的沒話說。這就是為什么在我們的年度職業評估報告上，軟件工程師會登頂2012年的最佳工作。

　　Of course, any job may seem like the best job if you’re unemployed and the improving economy hasn’t ushered you back into the workforce. But there are qualities that make some professions more desirable than the rest of the pack. Again this year our researchers looked high and low to find those occupations that ranked the best in five key areas: Work Environment, Physical Demands, Job Outlook, Income Levels and Stress. And it should be no surprise that Software Engineer ranks No. 1, followed by Actuary, Human Resources Manager, Dental Hygienist and Financial Planner。

　　當然如果你失業了，而正在好轉的經濟形勢也沒能讓你重新找到工作，那任何職業對你來說都是最佳職業。但是有一些特征使得其中的一些職業更吸引人。今年我們的研究人員再次四處調研， 根據工作環境、體能要求、工作前景、收入層次和壓力這五個關鍵標準對職業進行排名。不出所料排名第一的是軟件工程師。接下來的排名依次是：精算師、人力資源經理、潔牙師和理財規劃師。

　　This year, there are several professions that are making their inaugural appearance on our Jobs Rated Top 10 Best Jobs list. Human Resources Manager , Financial Planner , Occupational Therapist and Online Advertising Manager are all rated as a Top 10 Best Job for the first time due to a combination of high incomes, great environments, good job growth and relatively low unemployment rates。

　　今年，有幾個職業是初次在我們的十佳職業清單上露面。人力資源經理、理財規劃師、職業理療師、互聯網廣告銷售經理，這些職業由于收入高、工作環境好、有良好的發展前景和失業率相對較低，第一次出現在了榜單上。

　　With the increase in digital computing demands and healthcare needs, it makes sense that most of the professions on our Best Jobs list this year are related to the fields of math, science and healthcare。

　　計算機相關需求和健康護理需求正日益增長，在我們今年的最佳職業排行榜上，大部分職業都是與數學、科學、和健康護理這些領域相關，這也是合情合理的。
