2014年翻译资格考试：初级口译模拟试题（2）

　　For university graduates， it is always not so easy to find a good job. They often wonder at the large number of employers who do not respond to their applications for jobs. They say that despite enclosing return envelopes they hear nothing at all， or at best， an impersonal note ① is sent declaring that the post for which they applied has been filled.

　　Applicants often have the suspicion that vacancies are taken up by friends and relatives and that advertisements are only put out for show②。 Many of them are tired of writing around③ and feel that if only they could obtain an interview with the right person their application would meet with success.

　　难点提示：

　　①无人情味的，冷淡的

　　②装样子

　　③到处写信

　　()参考译文：

　　对于大学毕业生来说，找到一份好工作始终不是件那么容易的事情。他们常常弄不懂为什么那么多的雇主不答复他们的求职信。他们说虽然附上了回信的信封，他们却只字未闻，或至多收到一张不冷不热的便条，宣布他们申请的那个职位已有人填补了。

　　求职应聘者常常怀疑空缺是不是给朋友和亲属们占去了，怀疑广告只不过是登一登摆摆样子的。他们中的很多人厌倦了到处投求职信，他们觉得只要能够碰对人，获得一次面试的机会，他们的求职申请就会成功。
