It can be fun being young, but ask most teenagers what the biggest drag is in their life and they'll tell you it's the fact they don't have enough cash.
年轻是一件很有趣的事，但是如果你问大多数青少年他们生活中最大的麻烦是什么，他们会告诉你他们没有足够的现金。
Money doesn't just buy you nice things, it also gives you some independence.
钱不仅能给你买到好东西，还能让你独立。
You can travel, go to concerts, take people out on dates. Being broke is no joke, and it can really get a person down.
你可以去旅行，去听音乐会，带人出去约会。破产可不是闹着玩的，它真的会让人沮丧。
That's the reason today we are going to tell you some ways you can earn some cash at a young age even if you're still studying.
这就是为什么今天我们要告诉你一些方法，你可以在年轻的时候赚一些钱，即便你还在上学。
We'll start with the lower paying jobs and end with the jobs that pay the really big money.
我们将从较低工资的工作开始，以高工资的工作结束。
10. Online Stuff Ok, so online stuff sounds a bit vague, but we mean doing things online that take no skill at all.
10. 网上的一些小工作。好的，说得可能有点模糊，网上的一些小工作说的就是在网上做些完全不需要技巧的工作。
You basically just answer questions, fill in surveys, or review stuff.
基本就是回答问题、填写调查问卷、或者审查一些东西。
We found a blog online written by a young guy that used something called the iPoll app.
我们在网上找到了一个年轻人写的博客，用的是iPoll应用。
It seems he was British, but you can do similar stuff in other countries.
他似乎是英国人，但你可以在其他国家做类似的事情。
Using this app he was asked to go shopping and buy a particular product, answer questions about a product, or sometimes just answer questions in a survey.
他被要求使用这个应用程序去购买一种特定的产品、回答有关产品的问题，或者有时只是回答调查中的问题。
If he bought stuff he would have to upload the receipt and sometimes he might write something about the product.
如果他买了东西，他必须上传收据，有时他可能会写一些关于产品的东西。
We should say that the rewards weren't massive and he had earned only about $130 in a few months, but hey, if you're still in your early teens that's not bad at all.
这个活儿酬劳并不高，几个月内他只赚了130美元，但如果你还是青少年的话，那么这工资可以了。
You might need the consent of your parents, though, if you are very young.
不过，如果你年龄还小，那么你可能需要征得父母的同意。
We found other apps where people could earn cash doing surveys and some websites that paid for very short reviews of products.
我们发现还有一些应用可以让人们通过做调查来赚钱，还有一些网站会为产品的简短评论付费。
One called "Slice the Pie" paid young folks to write reviews of just 30 to 60 words, which is easy.
其中一家名为“分一杯羹”的公司雇佣年轻人写30到60字的评论，这很简单。
You might also get paid for referring other people to do the same as you.
你也可以通过介绍其他人和你做同样的事情来获得报酬。
One person who wrote about his time using Slice the Pie said he got paid, but it was only pocket money.
一位在“分一杯羹”做过这个工作的人描述自己那段时间的工作时说，他拿到了报酬，但只够零花而已。
He said this, "The exact amount of pay you can receive varies depending on a few different factors, including your star rank and experience.
他说：“薪酬的具体数额取决于一些不同的因素，其中包括你的星阶和经验。
If your reviews are consistently good quality, your star rank will go up and so will your pay."
如果你的评论质量一直很好，那么你的星阶就会上升，你的薪酬也会上升。”
Their website as we write this is down, but it doesn't look like the business is no longer running.
他们的网站就像我们所写，但公司看似并未停止运营。
To see a long list of similar jobs just Google something like, "getting paid for online reviews and surveys" and you will find what you are looking for.
想看到很多其他类似工作，可以在谷歌里搜索“获得在线评论和调查的报酬”，你会找到你想要的。
9. Fiverr We are going to give Fiverr its own spot on the list because there are just so many ways to earn cash using this online marketplace.
9. “五美元网站”。我们要在榜单上单独给“五美元网站”一个位置，因为这个在线市场上有很多赚钱的方式。
There are people earning good money here because some of the gigs are for skilled people, whether they are tech workers or musicians.
有些人在这里赚了很多钱，因为有些工作是为技术人员准备的，不管是技术人员还是音乐家。
But, there are also lots of gigs that only require a person to basically write or communicate well in English.
但是，也有很多工作只需要一个人用英语写作或交流。
If you get a gig, after you are paid you'll have to give some money back to Fiverr, but it's free to sign up.
如果你得到了一份工作，在你拿到薪水后，你必须把一些钱还给“五美元网站”，但注册是免费的。
Ok, so you are not good enough to start copywriting or designing websites, but there are other jobs such as doing voice overs that don't demand that much technical experience.
嗯，如果你还没有足够的能力写文案或者设计网站，那么也有其他一些不需要太多技术经验的工作，比如做画外音。
We should say there's actually a website called voices.com where you can make cash doing voice overs. If you have a clear voice, then just sign up to that.
我们应该说，实际上有一个网站叫voices.com，你可以通过配音来赚钱。如果你嗓音清晰，那就报名吧。
And hey, you might even end up doing voiceover for your favorite youtube informative show!
嘿，你甚至可以为你最喜欢的youtube信息性节目做画外音！
Don't be dismayed if you don't have many skills because you are still young, just have a look around and see if there is something you can offer.
不要因为自己还年轻、没有很多技能而沮丧，看看周围，看看有没有自己可以做的工作。
If you put some time and effort into this we think you could make some money.
如果你在这上面投入一些时间和精力，我们相信你是可以赚到一些钱的。
8. Tutoring You might not consider yourself good enough to be a teacher, but you might be pretty good at a subject and are just aged 16 or 17.
8. 辅导。你可能觉得自己无法胜任老师的工作，但你在16、17岁的时候可能就已经很擅长某一门课程了。
There are plenty of online tutoring websites that we found and on many of them if you are over 15 you can start helping people out.
我们找到了很多在线辅导网站，如果你超过15岁就可以开始帮助别人。
Just go online and search for jobs which allow teenagers to tutor.
只要上网找一些让青少年做家教的工作就行了。
They exist, because we've just been looking around the web and we've seen them.
它们之所以存在，是因为我们在网络上看到了它们。
Job sites tell us that the average wage for a teenager doing online tutoring is anywhere from $10 to $15 an hour, which isn't bad at all since you are doing something you enjoy and don't have to leave the house.
求职网站告诉我们，青少年做在线辅导的平均工资是每小时10美元到15美元，一点都不差，因为你做的是你喜欢的事情，不需要离开家。
7. Taking Care of Pets We looked online for dog walker jobs and most paid somewhere from 15 to 20 bucks an hour.
7. 照顾宠物。我们在网上查过遛狗的工作，大多该工作的报酬是每小时15到20美元。
The problem with the hiring companies, though, was that some said you had to be at least 18 years of age.
不过，招聘公司的问题是，有些公司要求应聘者必须年满18岁。
But you know what, you can walk a dog at 16. You just need to be trusted, and when you have reviews people will trust you.
但你知道吗，16岁就可以遛狗了。你只需要让自己得到信任，如果你得到了别人的好评，人们就会信任你。
Instead of working for someone else you could start your own gig.
不用为别人工作，你可以开始自己的工作。
Hand out flyers you made online in the neighborhood or just start your own Facebook page.
在社区分发你在网上制作的传单，或者创建你自己的脸书页面。
A lot of people these days are so busy they'll be glad to have someone walk their pet.
现在很多人都很忙，他们会很高兴有人帮他们遛宠物的。
We should mention that with all jobs there's the issue of tax, but there is a threshold amount you must earn before any tax is paid. Bankrate tells us that is $12,000 a year in the USA.
我们应该提一下，所有工作都涉及纳税问题，但在缴纳任何税款之前必须有一个最低工资门槛，Bankrate告诉我们美国的门槛一年12000美元。
6. Chores We found websites online telling youngsters how to start their own car washing business, and again, because teens are so tech savvy these days they can market their business easily online.
6. 我们在网上找到了一些网站，教年轻人如何开始自己的洗车生意，重申一下，因为现在的青少年精通技术，他们在网上推销自己的生意很容易。
It's not like the old days when teens had to go house to house or rely on family friends.
不像过去那样，青少年们必须挨家挨户串门或者依靠家人朋友。
We found some kids earning a lot of cash washing cars, and we are talking hundreds of dollars a week.
我们发现一些孩子洗车赚了很多钱，每周有好几百美元。
The same goes for yard cleaning, or snow shoveling in winter.
同样的工作有院子清洁，或者冬天铲雪。
When you know those leaves are going to fall or that snow is going to dump down, your Facebook page is out there telling people you can help them out.
等到将有树叶落下或者将要下雪的时候，你的脸书页面就会告诉人们你可以帮助他们。
You are young and don't charge too much. There are also a lot of older people that cannot do this physically demanding work, so you are a service for the community.
你还年轻，不要要价太高。还有很多老年人不能做这种体力劳动，所以你是在为社区服务。
In the past they might have not been able to contact you, but with your Facebook page they can contact you and you can be around to their house in minutes.
过去他们可能无法联系到你，但你有了脸书页面他们就能联系到你了，你可以在几分钟内赶到他们的家。
