The chairman of the Standing Conference of Employers of Graduates, told our 29 : “We don’t look at the pieces of paper turned in to us, but we look at the people with real abilities.” A senior 30 with the Bank of
England said that many companies were making their own 31 tests so they could be sure that candidates were the right people for the job.
In the Civil Service, only about 200 out of 2,000 candidates are chosen after the rest have been 32 by the Service’s own examinations and interviews.

難點(diǎn)精析
1.傳統(tǒng)民間藝術(shù)形式:翻譯為traditional folk art,其中folk意為“民間的,民俗的”,art既可以表示“藝術(shù)”這一抽象概念,也可以表示具體的“藝術(shù)形式”,所以直接翻譯為art即可,不必加form—詞。
2.美化居家環(huán)境:“美化”即beautify,“居家環(huán)境”翻譯成their homes即可,不要逐字生硬地翻譯為home environment。
3.增加喜慶的氣氛:翻譯為enhance the joyous atmosphere。
4.象征健康和興旺:翻譯為which symbolizes health and prosperity,此處既可以用非限制性定語從句,也可以用分詞形式symbolizing health and prosperity。
