近年來,中國(guó)碩士研究生招收(recruitment)規(guī)模不斷擴(kuò)大，致使本科生報(bào)考碩士研究生的人數(shù)逐年增加。除了大學(xué)畢業(yè)生對(duì)學(xué)術(shù)的追求以及社會(huì)對(duì)高端人才(top-level talent)的需求增加外，就業(yè)壓力大也是造成考研熱(postgraduate craze)的關(guān)鍵因素�；�于人才市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)日益激烈，工作崗位供不應(yīng)求，很多大學(xué)生畢業(yè)后選擇繼續(xù)深造而不是就業(yè)。雖然考研熱在某種程度上反映了社會(huì)需求，但是也給大學(xué)生帶來了巨大的心理壓力。因此，中國(guó)高校需向?qū)W生提供適當(dāng)?shù)木蜆I(yè)指導(dǎo)。

　　China is expanding its recruitment of postgraduates in recent years. As a result, the number of undergraduates taking graduate school entrance exam is increasing with each passing year. Besides college graduates，academic pursuit and the society's increasing demand for top-level talents, intense employment pressure is the key contributor to postgraduate craze. As the competition in the job market is increasingly fierce and supply of jobs fails short of demand, many college choose to further their study rather than enter the job market after graduation. Although postgraduate craze is to some extent an indication of social needs, it also brings enormous psychological stress to college students. Therefore, universities in China should provide students with prefer career guidance.
