劉文勇GRE寫(xiě)作百日題庫(kù) Day 20

Day 20 Some people believe that college students should consider only their own talents and interests when choosing a field of study

Some people believe that college students should consider only their own talents and interests when choosing a field of study. Others believe that college students should base their choice of a field of study on the availability of jobs in that field.

Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.

五問(wèn)：

（1）選擇一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)方向與研究方向，需要考慮哪些因素？自己的天分與興趣是不是因素之一？是否還有其他需要考慮的因素？你能羅列其中的一兩個(gè)嗎？例如：就業(yè)前景、對(duì)社會(huì)的意義等。

（2）選擇自己感興趣的方向有什么好處？例如：主動(dòng)性會(huì)更強(qiáng)，愿意投入更多的時(shí)間和精力、享受其中的樂(lè)趣。有什么壞處？可能難以就業(yè)，難以獲得足夠的經(jīng)濟(jì)來(lái)源供自己繼續(xù)在此方向進(jìn)行研究。

（3）選擇就業(yè)前景更好的研究方向有什么好處？你能具體地說(shuō)一說(shuō)嗎？例如：不用過(guò)分擔(dān)心以后的就業(yè)和生計(jì)問(wèn)題，可以更加潛心于研究。之所以出現(xiàn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題，是否意味著當(dāng)前社會(huì)就業(yè)并不容易？會(huì)不會(huì)越是倡導(dǎo)學(xué)生選擇容易就業(yè)的研究方向，就越會(huì)激化就業(yè)難的問(wèn)題？例如：會(huì)導(dǎo)致就業(yè)前景好的研究方向生源飽和，供大于求。

（4）工作崗位可獲得性是始終如一的嗎？它會(huì)隨著哪些因素的變化而變化？你能舉個(gè)例子說(shuō)明嗎？工作崗位會(huì)隨著社會(huì)的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況變化而變化，例如：在經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮的時(shí)候，工作崗位比較充足，而經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退甚至是經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)時(shí)，失業(yè)率就會(huì)較高。

（5）你認(rèn)為理想的選擇應(yīng)該是什么樣的？需要綜合考慮哪些因素？個(gè)人興趣？個(gè)人能力？當(dāng)下社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)情況？還是另有其他？

翻譯練習(xí)：

被一個(gè)“充滿希望的”未來(lái)所誘惑，很多學(xué)生選擇或被迫選擇了一個(gè)可以讓他們?cè)谇舐毞矫嬗懈鄼C(jī)會(huì)的學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)域，而非一個(gè)他們真正的才能或興趣所在的領(lǐng)域。但是，多半情況下，這種犧牲并沒(méi)有給他們帶來(lái)他們所期待的結(jié)果。

參考答案：

Lured by a“promising”future, many students have chosen or been forced to choose a field of study which can offer them a better shot at job hunting, rather than a field where their true talents or interests lies. More often than not, however, such sacrifice failed to give them what they expected.
