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
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 president 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 cuthroat job market, there are too many candidates and not nearly enough jobs.）
作业:
1.人才市场竞争太激烈，僧多粥少.
