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. 练习 5 Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)(原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发 展
