②人自孩提时代起，求学、谋职、恋爱、成家、立业、功名、财富……几乎无时不在追求，而且总也不能满足。

本句的并列结构：求学、谋职、恋爱、成家、立业、功名、财富，翻译为动名词结构， 求学going to school, 谋职looking for a job, 恋爱falling in love, 成家getting married, 立业striving for success in career ；功名、财富可以合为一起翻译为accumulating wealth,但也可以把功名翻译出来，chasing official rank

参考译文：Ever since childhood we have been pursuing, going to school, looking for a job, falling in love, getting married, and striving for success in career and accumulating wealth, but never have we seemed to be contented with ourselves.

注意译文的最后一个分句but never have we倒装结构

③当然事业上的进取与物欲上的贪婪，是两种截然不同的人生观，或可说是两种内涵迥异的苦乐观。

截然不同的：意思就是不一样的，翻译为different即可，当然加上entirely会更好。

人生观：outlooks on life

迥异的intrinsically different如果不知道intrinsic（固有的，本质的，内在的）这个词，可以用totally

参考译文：However, striving for success in career and seeking material profits are two different outlooks on life or, if you will, two intrinsically different views on the definition of hardship and happiness.

④但有一点是共同的，即人生的道路并非平坦的康庄大道，事物的发展往往不以人的意志为转移。

康庄大道：这里以“一帆风顺”的意思来翻译：plain sailing，或者用其他意译方法，表达出“顺利”“没有挫折”之类的意思都可以。

参考译文：But there is one thing that applies in either case, i.e. life is no plain sailing, and things, going and growing, are independent of man’s will.
