　　如今，越來越多的大學生抱怨很難找到好工作。造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因如下：首先，大學生把在校的大多數(shù) 時間都用在了專業(yè)學科學習上，只有當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。其次，大學生之間的競爭也越來越激烈，這導致任何一名大學生找到工作的機會都變小了。因此，強烈建議大學生在 課余時間做一些兼職工作，以積累相關的工作經(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：翻譯為it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training�！�‘只有當 ……才…… ’’用強調句型it is only when…that…表示。

　　3.導致：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.積累相關的工作經(jīng)驗：翻譯為accumulate relevant working experience.
