Kristie Hunter is a former public school teacher who for the past two years has made most of her money teaching children in China how to speak English online.
克莉絲蒂·亨特（Kristie Hunter）曾是一名公立學校教師，在過去兩年裡，她主要靠教中國孩子如何在網上說英語賺了大錢。
"I've been a stay-at-home mom with our three children, and as they were getting older, I missed the professional side of my life," said Hunter, 42, who lives in the Columbia, South Carolina area. "So this has helped me reconnect with my career and have flexibility."
42歲的亨特住在南卡羅來納州哥倫比亞市，她說：「我是一個全職媽媽，帶著三個孩子，隨著他們年齡的增長，我錯過了我生活中職業的一面。」因此，這有助於我重新融入我的職業生涯，並具有靈活性。」
Hunter works for GOGOKID, a one-on-one English language tutoring service owned by Chinese tech giant, ByteDance, which is the parent company of the hugely popular short-form video app TikTok.
亨特在一家名為GOGOKID的一對一英語輔導服務的公司工作，屬於中國科技巨頭ByteDance（字節跳動）， 這是非常流行的短格式視頻應用程式TikTok的母公司。
"I used to think, 'We work for ByteDance, this huge company. They own TikTok. That's pretty cool, right?'" Hunter said.
「我曾經想，『我們為字節跳動公司工作，這家大公司。他們擁有提克託克。太酷了，對吧亨特說。
But now, the cool factor has morphed into something else: the threat of her job disappearing.
但現在，這個酷的因素已經演變成了另一種東西：她工作消失的威脅。
President Trump's Aug. 6 executive order, which was aimed at TikTok, outlawed American business with not just the video-sharing app, but with all of ByteDance's subsidiaries.
川普總統8月6日針對蒂克託克（TikTok）的行政命令宣布，不僅是視頻分享應用程式，而且是比特丹斯所有子公司的美國企業都是非法的。
That has thrown the future of Hunter and nearly 4,000 other American teachers contracted to work with GOGOKID into real peril.
這讓亨特和其他近4000名籤約與戈戈吉德合作的美國教師的未來陷入了真正的危險之中。
