大學(xué)英語四級段落翻譯練習(xí)及譯文
如今,越來越多的大學(xué)生抱怨很難找到好工作。造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因如下:首先,大學(xué)生把在校的大多數(shù) 時間都用在了專業(yè)學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)上,只有當(dāng)他們開始找工作的時候,才意識到自己缺乏必要的職業(yè)培訓(xùn)。其次,大 學(xué)生之間的競爭也越來越激烈,這導(dǎo)致任何一名大學(xué)生找到工作的機會都變小了。因此,強烈建議大學(xué)生在課余時間做一些兼職工作,以積累相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗。
參考答案
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.
難點精析
1.抱怨很難找到好工作:翻譯為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“找工作有困難”,用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。
2.只有當(dāng)他們開始找工作的時候,才意識到自己缺乏必要的職業(yè)培訓(xùn):翻譯為it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。‘‘只有當(dāng) 才 ’’用強調(diào)句型it is only when…that…表示。 ,
3.導(dǎo)致:翻譯為results in,同義短語有l(wèi)ead to和bring about,但是表示不好的結(jié)果時一般用短語result in。
4.強烈建議:翻譯為it is highly suggested that...,其中highly suggested也可以用 strongly recommended 替換,都表示“強烈建議做某事”。
5.積累相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗:翻譯為accumulate relevant working experience.
許多剛畢業(yè)的大學(xué)生找不到工作,在校學(xué)生則擔(dān)心他們的未來。多個調(diào)查顯示,三分之二的中國畢業(yè)生想在政府或者國有企業(yè)工作,而不是為中國令人矚目的經(jīng)濟增長提供動力的民營企業(yè)。政府和國有企業(yè)被認(rèn)為能免受經(jīng)濟蕭條的影響。如今幾乎沒有大學(xué)生愿意放棄政府的鐵飯碗而下海、加入初創(chuàng)企業(yè)或自己創(chuàng)業(yè)。
譯文:
Many recent college graduates can’t find a job and students are fearful about their future. Two-thirds of Chinese graduates say they want to work either in the government or state-owned firms,which are seen as recession-proof, rather than at the private companies that have powered China’s remarkable economic climb, surveys indicate. Few college stu?dents today, according to the surveys, are ready to leave the safe shores of government work and jump into the sea to join startups or go into business.
