2022年考研|考研英语二：阅读养成计划Day313

整理编辑：MBA培训网时间：2021-11-28

计划说明

考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。但是对大多数备考的同学来说，刚开始投入复习，就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊，也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的，所以我们会在每次推送中，给大家给出两篇短文，一篇是初阶水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高阶水平（四六级到考研水平）；同学们可以根据自己当前的情况，选择其中一篇进行学习。

学习步骤如下：

1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解

2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入

3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）

翻译文段

At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flustered by the copper coils he's trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It's his first week on the job. Asked about his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching to electrical engineering. "I love working with tools. I love creating." he says.

But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents, who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them to avoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame it on the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a business development agency for western Michigan.

短文翻译

在变压器车间的工作台旁，年轻的詹森.斯滕奎斯特为自己正在组装的铜揽和两位访客的到来感到慌张不安。这是他就职的第一个星期。当被问及自己的职业选择时，他说高中时在选择电气工程之前他考虑的是医护学校。“我喜欢与工具打交道。我喜欢创造，”他说。

但要赢得这些年轻的工人，企业主必须清除另一个障碍：家长。他们经历了美国自大萧条以来最严重的一次经济下行，他们告诉自己的孩子，不要到工厂去。千禧一代“仍然记得他们的父母都失业了。他们将其归因于制造业的衰退，”西部密歇根商业发展机构“正确之地”的主管比吉特.克洛斯说道。
