走進(jìn)大學(xué),意味著從學(xué)生向社會人過渡的開始。怎樣在學(xué)習(xí)的同時增加自己的閱歷,豐富生活,是許多大學(xué)生面臨的問題。假期打工成為了許多人的選擇。
Summer Job
The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year, students begin their search for jobs during vacation (June, July, and August). Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities during the summer, and ask friends and relatives to be on the lookout for jobs for them.① By June the students have usually solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.②
Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.
Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter — these are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months. But many young people find work that is a little more unusual.

行文點評
整篇文章雖然短小,但介紹全面。第一段中l(wèi)ong before the end of the school year, during the summer, by June等幾個時間狀語的使用使文章結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊,第二段中三個排比句的運用 (some …; others…; still others),一氣呵成。
好文妙譯
暑期打工
打字員、建筑工人、推銷員、救生員、服務(wù)生——這些都是學(xué)生在暑假幾個月中通常選擇的工作。當(dāng)然,也有很多年輕人能夠找到特別一些的工作。

After-class work may distract the students’ attention from their studies.學(xué)生們會因為打工而分散了對學(xué)業(yè)的注意力。
