Occupation 表示工作或职业，是表格、签证申请和调查问卷中常见的正式用词。它还可以表示外国军队对国家或城市的占领；这个意思较少见，常出现在历史和战争相关文字中。

修改原因
修改前Great party, isn't it? So, what's your occupation?
修改后Great party, isn't it? So, what do you do?
What's your occupation? 听起来像表格、银行或护照检查中的问题。聚会上这样问，对方可能觉得在填写资料。日常交谈通常用 What do you do? 询问工作。学习者常把 occupation 记成“职业”，却没有同时记住它偏正式的语气。
Job 可以指具体的职位和工作：She's got a new job at a bank。Profession 通常指需要长期专业训练的职业，例如医生或律师：He's a lawyer by profession。Occupation 是这三个词中概括性最强、也最正式的一个，可用于各种工作。

classes — 句子说的是课表上的西班牙语课，应该用 classes 或 lessons。Occupation 在这里指从事的工作类型，不能用来表示课程。
想一份需要填写职业的表格。写出是什么文件，以及你在职业一栏填了什么。
