Question

freelance adj.自由择业的；兼职的v.兼做n.自由职业者 (1) 他开始从事自由职业工程师的工作。(2) 他以自由职业获取收入。(3) 自由职业者的现行酬金是每小时5美元。 To freelance is the opposite of working for one employer full-time and long-term. A freelancer — who could be a writer, a designer, or one of many other jobs — probably has many employers. The word comes from the Middle Ages, for "medieval mercenary warrior," which makes sense, since a mercenary is someone who fights for hire. It’s a free (not bound by a country) lance (sword). The pen is mightier than the sword, so these days freelance often refers to writers.
