Does Engineering Pay More Than Liberal Arts? ★★★ 文科生不如工科生赚得多?导读:在科学技术代表第一生产力的今天,重理轻文的思维并未发生很大改变。文科生就业前景不如工科生,就业起薪也远远低于工科生,这样的社会现实让很多文科生心怀怨词却又无可奈何…… 来源:《华尔街日报》2010年10月27日
难词解释: 1. liberal art 文科 2. inflation [in'flei??n] n.通货膨胀, 膨胀 3. mid-career 职业中期生涯 4. hotbed ['h?t.bed] n. 温床、领域 5. grad [græd] abbr. 毕业生, 校友(=graduate) 6. internship ['int?:n?ip] n.实习生职位, 实习期
难句释义: 1. The starting pay of certain liberal arts majors generally is well below that of graduates in engineering fields. 【佳译】某些文科专业毕业生的起薪远远低于工科毕业生。 【精析】the starting pay指“起薪”。注意文科和工科的说法,liberal art和engineering。理科是science。
2. The reported starting pay was adjusted for inflation to make the salaries of graduates from different years comparable. 【佳译】为了使不同时间毕业的学生的薪水具有可比性,调查报告数据剔除了通胀因素。【精析】句子的主干部分是The reported starting pay was adjusted for inflation。sth. is adjusted for sth.,意思是“为某件事情而作出调整”。主干后接一个表目的的不定式短语,to make….comparable,意思是“使……具有可比性”。
3. Technical majors even have an advantage in fields that are typically hotbeds for liberal arts majors. 【佳译】甚至在文科专业本应该很吃香的领域,技术专业也占有优势。 【精析】hotbed,原义指“温床”,这里指“热门的领域”。
译海拾贝: 某些文科专业毕业生的起薪远远低于工科毕业生。 |
