　　Certificate Craze on Campus

　　In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?

　　There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. To begin with, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Furthermore, diploma and certificates are still vital standards by which a good many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.

　　From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

　　参考译文

　　近年来，考证在大学生中已经变成一种新的热潮。只是在校园中随机询问一位学生他或她在忙什么，你可能就会得到这样的答案：他正在准备考取某种证书。为何出现这种热潮?

　　这种现象主要有两点原因。首先，正是就业压力使得大学生去考取更多证书。随着大学的扩招，更多毕业生不得不面对就业市场的激烈竞争。一个人如何使自己更具竞争力?可能就是更多证书在手。此外，学位和证书仍是很多单位衡量个人能力的重要标准。为了改善就业条件，学生们迫使自己不断参加考试。

　　在我看来，由于证书并不一定证明某人的能力，我们应该更加理性面对证书。盲目地热衷于获得证书只是浪费时间。总之，我们应该重视提升能力，而不是获得没有使用价值的证书。
