1. 認(rèn)識這個詞（基礎(chǔ)篇）

詞：candidate

英英釋義：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. 體會這個詞 （進(jìn)階篇）

“candidate”是名詞，意思是“候選人、應(yīng)試者、求職者、人選”，具體意思要取決于上下文。比如競選總統(tǒng)的人就叫 presidential candiate；上完了博士階段的課程，正在寫博士論文的學(xué)生一般被叫做 doctoral candidate 或 PhD candidate；找工作的也可以叫 candidate。

candidate 是個精確、好用的單詞，閱讀原版雜志和書籍經(jīng)?？梢耘龅竭@個詞。我們來通過幾個例句了解、掌握它。

比如前不久美國前副總統(tǒng) Joe Biden 決定競選下一屆美國總統(tǒng)，我們可以說：

Joe Biden decided to run for president in 2020.

我們可以用 candidate 來改寫：

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

好幾個博士候選人都放棄了博士學(xué)位，跑到硅谷去創(chuàng)業(yè)：

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

目前只有五個人對這個銷售職位感興趣，我們就可以說：

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

3. 從認(rèn)識到會用（作業(yè)）

1）翻譯下面的句子：? ?

人才市場競爭太激烈，僧多粥少。

The talent market is competitive with too many candidates and not enough jobs.

造句

This girl decided to join others as a class leader candidate.

（參考翻譯： 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.）
