例13:
I think a high school graduate with superior aptitude should by all means go on to college. With superior study skills, this student will probably do well in college and be able to find work upon graduation.
我認為一名具有出色天賦的中學畢業生絕對應該繼續念大學。因為掌握了良好的學習技能,這位學生很可能在大學里成績出眾并且能夠在畢業時找到工作。
But high school students should really think twice about going to college. They should really consider what they want to get, or need to get, out of a college education.
但是中學生對于上大學這個問題的確應該三思。他們的確應該想想他們想從大學教育中得到什么,或者需要從中得到什么。
If the student studies for a degree simply for the money, he should probably plan a career in which there is likely to be openings in the future.
如果一名學生取得學位的目的只是為了賺錢,那么他就應該好好設計一條職業道路,保證將來可能會有好的出路。
If the student is one of those people who just want to learn, he’d better make sure that he either has rich parents or will soon inherit a fortune.
如果這個學生屬于那種純粹是為了學習而學習的人,那么他最好能有把握要么有有錢的父母撐腰,要么不久就會繼承一大筆財產。
