"人是唯一需要工作的动物。"

Simplified Meaning:
People are different from other animals because we need to do jobs to survive. Animals in the wild, like lions or birds, look for food, water, and a safe place to live, but they don't have to go to an office or factory every day. Humans, on the other hand, have built societies where we need money to get the things we need like food, clothing, and shelter, and we get this money by working. For example, a person might work as a teacher, doctor, store clerk, or farmer. This idea highlights how work is a big part of our lives and differentiates us from other creatures. To manage this, people can try to find a job they enjoy or find ways to make their work feel meaningful or rewarding.
