参考答案:
Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.
难点精析:
1.抱怨很难找到好工作:翻译为complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job。其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth.表示,having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困难”,用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。
2.只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训:翻译为it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。‘‘只有当 ……才…… ’’用强调句型it is only when„that„表示。
3.导致:翻译为results in,同义短语有lead to和bring about,但是表示不好的结果时一般用短语result in。
4.强烈建议:翻译为it is highly suggested that„,其中highly suggested也可以用 strongly recommended 替换,都表示“强烈建议做某事”。
5.积累相关的工作经验:翻译为accumulate relevant working experience. 英语四级段落翻译常用词汇:中国社会 多元文化论 cultural pluralism 文化适应 acculturation 社会保障 social security 班车 shuttle bus大龄青年 single youth above the normal matrimonial age 独生子女 the only child in a family 单亲 single parent福利彩票 welfare lotteries家政服务 household management service 民工 migrant laborers 名人 celebrity
