Hobby becomes a vocation Explanation: Hi Michelle, from reading this Chinese context, I'm quite convinced that this business man has been deeply in love with underwater photography. He might have experienced different phases, such as interest, hobby, passion etc. In the text, he described underwater as 志业, meaning it is like a call, or vocation, which is beyond hobby or passion. I attached a definiation of 志业 for your reference, it is in Traditional Chinese though). Hope it is helpful to your translation. 志業（英语：vocation，源自拉丁语：vocātiō，本義為呼召、傳喚），又譯為召命，天主教翻譯為召叫或是聖召。是某個人為了某種理想或興趣而獻身的工作或職業，為了從事這個工作，需要有特定的資格，或是受到特殊的訓練。這個概念起源於基督宗教，但在現代，通常使用於非宗教的場合。 Reference: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BF%97%E6%A5%AD |
