flextirement: 过渡退休

noun [U]

UK /ˈfleks.taɪə.mənt/

US /fleks.ˈtaɪr.mənt/

an arrangement where an employee gradually reduces their working hours until they completely retire

员工在正式退休前，逐渐减少工作时间

例句：

Instead of a full-blown retirement when you reach 62 years old and can collect social security benefits, flextirement allows an employee to move to a more part-time role and eventually shorten the number of hours worked over a certain time period until they officially retire. Instead of working a full 40-hour week, that person might switch to only half that, leaving them time to begin to enjoy retirement.

sunlighting：白日兼职

noun [U]

UK /ˈsʌn.laɪt.ɪŋ/ US /ˈsʌn.laɪ.t̬ɪŋ/

the act of working at an extra job that your main employer is aware of

在公司老板知晓的情况下，在外打第二份工

例句：

Should companies offer strict policies on moonlighting or allow room for sunlighting? The answer might be a balanced approach that neither stifles employee freedom nor exposes companies to potential risks. Either way, it’s time to rethink how we approach employment and day-to-day work.

conscious quitting: 有意识离职

noun [U]

UK /ˌkɒn.ʃəs ˈkwɪt.ɪŋ/ US /ˌkɑːn.ʃəs ˈkwɪt.ɪŋ/

the act of leaving your job because you do not share the same values as the people in charge of your company

由于与老板的价值观不对付，进而申请离职

例句：

Chris Preston, founder and director of The Culture Builders, says conscious quitting is happening because “Gen Z’ers are joining companies that have a culture either built on fabrications, or completely at odds with their own moral compass. “To stop it, organisations have to be both more honest about why they exist or how they work and take a long hard look at the work environment they are dropping our latest generation of talent into.”

quishing：二维码钓鱼攻击

noun [U]

/ˈkwɪʃ.ɪŋ/

a type of phishing attack that uses QR codes to trick people into visiting websites or downloading files that will harm their computer or allow people to take money from them

通过二维码引诱人们访问网站，或下载文件，进而入侵他们的电脑，或者盗取钱财。

例句：

Quishing works similarly to traditional phishing attacks, where the URL to the malicious website is delivered via email or SMS messages. However, in quishing, the QR code is decoded into a URL that points to the malicious website. The malicious QR code can be printed on paper or simply created digitally on digital posters and delivered via social media posts or emails.

是“fraud as a service”的缩写。这将知识、软件、数据等内容一并卖给人们，让他们能实施网络诈骗活动。

例句：

In a world where the shadows of the internet foster not just innovation but also illicit economies, the emergence of Fraud as a Service (FaaS) marks an unavoidable evolution in the cybercrime saga. Imagine a marketplace, not unlike those you’re used to, but one that trades in deception, theft, and digital disruption.

noun [C]

/ˈmʌn.i mjuːl/

someone who receives money from a criminal into their bank account and then transfers it to another person

将银行账号用给犯罪分子洗钱的人

例句：

Money mules are a crucial link in the fraud chain – and, while they are criminals in the eyes of the law, many are completely unaware of their involvement. You may know one, or even be one yourself! … Not all money mules are complicit – many are victims of fraud themselves, while others may be forced or tricked into letting criminals use their bank accounts.
