  如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把在校的大多数 时间都用在了专业学科学习上，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。其次，大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在 课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。   

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
