    1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

    词:candidate

    英英释义:a person who applies for a job or is nominated for election

    (候选人申请工作或被提名参加选举的人)

    例句:So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.

    2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

    “candidate”是名词,意思是“候选人、应试者、求职者、人选”,具体意思要取决于上下文。比如竞选总统的人就叫 presidential candiate;上完了博士阶段的课程,正在写博士论文的学生一般被叫做 doctoral candidate 或 PhD candidate;找工作的也可以叫 candidate。

    candidate 是个精确、好用的单词,阅读原版杂志和书籍经常可以碰到这个词。我们来通过几个例句了解、掌握它。

    比如前不久美国前副总统 Joe Biden 决定竞选下一届美国总统,我们可以说:

    Joe Biden decided to run for prsident in 2020.

    我们可以用 candidate 来改写:

    Joe Biden recently decided to join others as a presidential candidate.

    好几个博士候选人都放弃了博士学位,跑到硅谷去创业:

    Quite a few PhD candidates gave up their doctoral degree and moved to Silicon Valley to start start-ups.

    目前只有五个人对这个销售职位感兴趣,我们就可以说:

    So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.

    3. 从认识到会用(作业)

    1)翻译下面的句子:   

    人才市场竞争太激烈,僧多粥少。

    (参考翻译: There are far more candidates than jobs in the competitive job market. 或 In the cut-throat job market, there are too many candidates and not nearly enough jobs.)

    2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。

    场景:  迄今为止只有五个人有竞选班长的意愿。

    造句:So far only five candidates have shown interest in this class president.
