Some popular folk songs reflect the aspirations and struggles of blue-collar workers.

在这里，要告诉大家的是，在日常生活对话中，除了 blue-collar worker、white-collar worker 以外，你可能还会听到别人说 pink-collar worker 粉领劳动者。这个表达主要是指低收入的劳动者，多用于女性，比如从事秘书或护士工作的女性。

But pink-collar worker and other classifications with colours are less common. The ones most used are indeed blue-collar worker and white-collar worker.

Pink-collar worker 这个说法没有 blue-collar worker 和 white-collar worker 用得多，所以在使用的时候要稍加注意。What a pity! I quite like striped-dark-blue-and-pale-yellow-designer-collar worker.

Oh, stop it!

Both

Bye!
