1. 認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)詞(基礎(chǔ)篇)
詞:candidate
英英釋義:a person who applies for a job or is nominated for election
例句:So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.
2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“candidate”是名詞,意思是“候選人、應(yīng)試者名船、求職者、人選”搁拙,具體意思要取決于上下文篱蝇。比如競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)的人就叫 presidential candiate姑原;上完了博士階段的課程催式,正在寫博士論文的學(xué)生一般被叫做 doctoral candidate 或 PhD candidate函喉;找工作的也可以叫 candidate。
candidate 是個(gè)精確荣月、好用的單詞管呵,閱讀原版雜志和書籍經(jīng)常可以碰到這個(gè)詞哺窄。我們來通過幾個(gè)例句了解捐下、掌握它。
比如前不久美國(guó)前副總統(tǒng) Joe Biden 決定競(jìng)選下一屆美國(guó)總統(tǒng)萌业,我們可以說:
Joe Biden decided to run for prsident in 2020.
我們可以用 candidate 來改寫:
Joe Biden recently decided to join others as a presidential candiate.
好幾個(gè)博士候選人都放棄了博士學(xué)位蔑担,跑到硅谷去創(chuàng)業(yè):
Quite a few PhD candidates gave up their doctoral degree and moved to Silicon Valley to start start-ups.
目前只有五個(gè)人對(duì)這個(gè)銷售職位感興趣,我們就可以說:
So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.
3. 從認(rèn)識(shí)到會(huì)用(作業(yè))
1)翻譯下面的句子:? ?
人才市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)太激烈咽白,僧多粥少。
There are far more candidates than jobs in the competitive job market.
In the cut-throat job market, there are too many candidates and not nearly enough jobs.
(參考翻譯: There are far more candidates than jobs in the competitive job market. 或 In the cut-throat job market, there are too many candidates and not nearly enough jobs.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活鸟缕、學(xué)習(xí)晶框、工作排抬、興趣等,想象在什么語(yǔ)境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)授段。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景蹲蒲,再造句。
場(chǎng)景:? 教育
造句:Andhra Pardesh announced last year that its elementary schools would convert to English others are experimenting on a smaller scale. In Pakistan, the Punjab provincial government announced in 2009 that it would go English-medium, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa announced the same in 2013. Yet there are problems associated with much English-medium schooling. Visitors soon discover that, except in elite establishments, interviews held for candidates in most “English-medium” schools have to be conducted through an interpreter, in the local language, because neither teachers nor pupils speak much English.
