【參考范文】 Jobs College Graduates Want to Do
The chart has clearly revealed the differences between female and male students in their job preferences and choices after graduation.
The most desired jobs for boys, according to priority, are managers, businessmen and lawyers. Girls also like to pursue these professions, but the percentage drops considerably, compared with the great number of girls who are interested in becoming teachers.
What has brought about this result? I believe that many girls may prefer the teaching positions because they like to take care of and give guidance to the younger generation, while boys like to become managers and businessmen because they like the idea of standing up to challenges and want to prove that they have it in them to be both socially and financially successful.
The findings will definitely exert some influence on the university education in China. to better prepare the students for their future jobs, all universities and colleges in China should take into consideration students' job preferences, when they design syllabuses and offer courses to their students.
【參考譯文】 大學(xué)畢業(yè)生想從事的工作
這一圖表清晰地反映了男女學(xué)生在畢業(yè)后的職業(yè)選擇方面存在的不同。
男生最理想的工作，依照優(yōu)先順序，分別是：經(jīng)理、商人和律師。女生也喜歡從事這些職業(yè)，但與數(shù)量頗多的想成為教師的女生相比，想從事這些職業(yè)的女生比例要低得多。
是什么造成了這樣的結(jié)果呢?我認(rèn)為許多女生之所以選擇教師這一職業(yè)，是因?yàn)樗齻兿矚g照顧和指導(dǎo)年輕的一代，而男生喜歡成為經(jīng)理和商人，則是因?yàn)樗麄兿矚g迎接挑戰(zhàn)，也想證明他們無論在社交方面還是財(cái)富方面都有成功的能力。
這些發(fā)現(xiàn)必然將對中國的大學(xué)教育產(chǎn)生影響，為了使學(xué)生們能更好地為將來的工作做好準(zhǔn)備，所有的大學(xué)在設(shè)計(jì)教學(xué)大綱和開設(shè)課程的時(shí)候都必須考慮到學(xué)生的職業(yè)選擇。

【句法點(diǎn)評】
1.The chart has clearly revealed the difference between female and male students in their job preferences and choices after graduation.
The charthas clearly revealed…用在文章開頭引出對圖表的描述，類似的表達(dá)還有asis revealedinthe chart、judgingfromthetable、we canclearly seefromthe chartthat…。in后接名詞短語，表示差異存在的具體方面。preferences和choices均為抽象名詞，用法地道。
2.What has brought about this result?I believe that…
在對圖表進(jìn)行描述之后，給出自己的評價(jià)，緊扣題目要求。短語bring about意為“引起，帶來”，常用于bring about aproblem等語境中。
3.…they like the idea of standing up to challenges and want to prove that they have it in them to be both socially and financially successful.
stand upto意為“勇敢面對”，因而stand upto challenges即意為“迎接挑戰(zhàn)”。and連接兩個(gè)并列的謂語like和want，prove后又接一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，增加了句子的復(fù)雜程度。have it in them可理解為“具有某種能力/潛質(zhì)”。
