“帮我翻译个东西吧”——“给钱吗兄dei？”

我们常有这样的困惑，不怎么熟的人冷不丁的找上你让你给TA帮点忙，貌似也不主动提报酬，而且你自己手头事儿也不少，该答应还是不答应呢？

传统上，自己力所能及的小事儿，帮一下也就算了，顺水人情。不过就怕以后人家压根儿也不记得。

最近越来越多的人主张，你提的要求虽然是我能力范围内的事情，但也是我谋生的本事，辛辛苦苦培养出来的技能要给人免费打工，大概没有人会乐意。

“帮我翻译个东西吧”——“给钱吗兄dei？”1

reddit网站一名网友就有亲身经历，他说：

I had my own gig designing...well, everything: websites, logos, ads, brochures, video, etc. Always got asked to do something for free because it “might lead to something else”.

我的工作是设计……呃……设计很多东西：网站、商标、广告、小册子、视频等等。就老是有人要我免费帮TA干活儿，不然就会“有别的不好的影响”。

Did it a few times, nothing came out of it, then when I wanted to charge for something the person was outraged and basically stopped talking to me.

我也帮过几次，结果没有任何报酬，然后我就跟人提了收费的事儿，结果人家很生气，再也没理过我。

他的经历可能就是你的经历。有人在底下回复说：

If your friend owns a business, don't ask for a friend discount or for some free products, a great friend is one that pays full price to support their friend. Real friends don't take advantage of their hardworking friends trying to make a living. Real friends try to help them out on their journey.
