()腐敗現(xiàn)象猖獗,關稅居高不下.

替換表達：frequentjob-hopping/changingjobstoooften

學生錯誤表達：(1)

Toomany

job-hopping點評：job-hopping是不可數(shù)名詞,這里應該改為toomuchjob-hopping

2-employability

詞典釋義：Nounemployability

(usually

()大衛(wèi)·多切爾迪稱,圍繞著就業(yè)能力和工作技能的討論固然重要,但我們可不能忽視了另一點——大學同樣需要培育出富有批判思維和豐富理論知識的人才.

學生錯誤表達：(1)

employment

ability點評：沒有employment

ability的說法,應該改為employability

Q：老師,這里的job前面為什么沒有a呀?它不是可數(shù)嗎?theoccasionalchangeofjobA：changeofjob是一個固定說法,例如《衛(wèi)報》句子：Ittookmeanotherthreeyears,

achangeofjob

toanevenbiggerAmericaninvestmentmanagement

houseandtheglobalfinancialcrisistorealisethatIdidn'twantthis

lifestyleanymore.這個表達可以記住.

2.每次換工作,年輕人可能都要重新適應新的工作時間、不同的上班路線,或許還有不同的著裝規(guī)范.在兩份工作中間的待業(yè)期也會使年輕人遭受不穩(wěn)定的收入以及不知道何時能領下一份薪水的心理壓力.Witheverychangeofemployment,youngpeoplemayhavetoadjusttonewworkinghours,adifferent

commutingroute(1.上班路線),andpossiblyadifferent

dresscode(2.著裝規(guī)范).

()另外,旅行者從哈羅鎮(zhèn)和埃塞克斯區(qū)到倫敦,這短短的27英里竟要花4500英鎊(包括地鐵費用),就每公里的花費而言,這可謂是英國最昂貴的上班路線.

學生錯誤表達：(1)

work

route/workingroute點評：應該改為固定說法commuting

route

2-dresscode

詞典釋義：dresscode

noun

after-dinnerspeech,peoplelistenedtowhatwasonoffer.()它能很好地填補大家族聚餐時用餐前不可避免的間隔,這時人們剛于餐桌上聊完天,正耐心傾聽有什么菜肴供應.

可供替換的表達：theperiodofunemploymentbetweenjobs

學生錯誤表達：(1)

job-waiting

time點評：job-waitingtime這一說法很少見,可以改為unemployedintervalsbetweenjobs

Unemployedintervalsbetweenjobscouldalsocauseyoung

peopletosufferfromanunstableincomeaswellasthepsychologicalstress

ofnotknowingwhentheywillreceivetheirnextpaycheck.

[分析]本句的主干是Unemployedintervals

betweenjobscouldalsocauseyoungpeopletosuffer,主語是Unemployedintervalsbetweenjobs,謂語是could

alsocause,賓語是youngpeople,后面的部分是一個不定式結構作賓語補足語,介詞from之后是由aswellas連接的并列名詞短語anunstableincome和thepsychologicalstress

ofnotknowingwhentheywillreceivetheirnextpaycheck,共同作from的賓語,在第二個名詞短語中,名詞性從句whentheywill

receivetheirnextpaycheck作knowing的賓語.

3.盡管大多數(shù)人一生當中會從事幾份工作,但重要的是每一次工作更換都應該是理性的.不論是因急功近利還是出于習慣,連續(xù)跳槽的行為對年輕人來說是失敗之舉.Whilemostpeoplewillholdseveraljobsduringtheirlifetime,itisimportantthateachjobchangeis

becauseofoutofcustom可以省略表達為Whetheritisbecause

ofshort-terminterestorisoutofcustom嗎,謝謝老師A：可以,但是outofcustom要改為outof

habit

Q：Whetherit'sbecauseofthequickbuckoroutof

Q：字典中serial的釋義和例句均和"(重罪案犯或重案)”有關,請問老師為什么在這里可以形容跳槽?A：serial除了可以用來形容罪犯之外,還可以用來表示"連續(xù)做某事”,例如麥克米倫詞典對serial有一個解釋就是：doingsomethingorhappening

severaltimesinthesameway

Q：it'sforquicksuccessoroutofhabit這個短語中,outofhabit是用單數(shù)好還是復數(shù)好?A：outofhabit應該用單數(shù),例如BBC例句：WhenwesayafootballerlikeMessiactsoninstinct,

"理性的”呢?A：可以.

studiesareavaluableinvestmentdependsonsomefactors

Whetherinpursuitofshort-termgainortheresultof

habit,serialjob-hoppingisalosingbetforyoungpeople.

[分析]本句的主干是逗號之后的部分,這是一個主系表結構,主語是serial

job-hopping,系動詞是is,表語是a

losingbet,狀語是foryoungpeople.逗號之前是由whether…or…引導的讓步狀語從句,表明了一個選擇范圍.

4.研究生學習是否是一項有價值的投資取決于幾個因素,包括一個人的學術專業(yè)、工作經(jīng)驗和職業(yè)目標.為了盡可能減小未來后悔的可能性,學生需要認真考慮他們的選擇,做出理性決策.Whethergraduatestudiesare
