    原文摘自每日英语听力2.27内容“美国1月就业报告公布 新增就业30.4万 失业率上升至4%”。

    On the first Friday of every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases a jobs report.

    It's seen as one measure of how the U. S. economy as a whole is doing.

    In January, the U. S. economy grew by 304,000 jobs.

    In December, the unemployment rate-the percentage of the American workforce that doesn't have a job, was 3.9 percent.

    In January it was 4 percent.

    1.找主干

    加粗部分即句子主干。

    2.逐句看

    On the first Friday of every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases a jobs report.

    主干是:(美国)劳动统计局发布报告。

    问:什么时候发布的?

    答:On the first Friday of every month(每月的第一个周五)

    问:发布的什么报告?

    答:jobs report(就业报告)

    It's seen as one measure of how the U. S. economy as a whole is doing.

    主干是:这可以视为一个指标。

    问:什么指标?

    答:of how the U. S. economy as a whole is doing. (美国这个经济体运行状况的指标)

    In January, the U. S. economy grew by 304,000 jobs.

    主干是:美国经济增长。

    问:怎么看出来是增长的?

    答:by 304,000 jobs.(增长了30.4万个就业岗位)

    注意:(1) 也可以是by adding 304,000 jobs,其中adding省略了。(2) 30.4万是一个绝对数字,但衡量经济好坏往往要看相对数字。

    In December, the unemployment rate-the percentage of the American workforce that doesn't have a job, was 3.9 percent.

    主干是:失业率是3.9%。

    问:失业率是什么?

    答:the percentage of the American workforce that doesn't have a job(美国失业人口(占总人口)的百分比)

    问:这是何时的失业率?

    答:In December((去年)12月)

    问:2019年有好转吗?

    带着这个问题,来看最后一句话——

    In January it was 4 percent.(2019年1月的失业率是4%。)

    也就是说,相比去年12月,美国失业率在上升。
