Hot majors but not many jobs
调查：热门专业难就业
People assume computer science and technology, law and English, the 3 hot majors, will guarantee jobs after graduation. However, according to China Youth Daily, of the top 10 majors resulting in unemployment, 9 are conventionally believed as hot majors including the above-mentioned ones. A leading reason is that more colleges are offering courses in these hot majors creating more competition for graduates to find jobs.
据《中国青年报》报道，07年毕业生求职调查显示，计算机科学与技术、法学、英语3个专业的学生在毕业半年后的失业人数居高不下。在10个失业人数最多的专业中，热门专业占了9个。在过去几年，英语、法律、计算机成为全国院校开设最多和招生最多的专业，同时也增加了这些专业就业的难度。

China's crop output is forecast to exceed 120m tons this summer, 2.5m tons more than a year ago, Agriculture Minister Sun Zhengcai said on Sunday. This marks the 5th consecutive summer of bumper harvests for the first time since 1949. In spite of soaring world food prices, the harvest comes as the government encouraged farmers with a series of incentives, including subsidies.

Because of public concern over imported beef, pork has replaced beef as an important dish for Korean barbeque.

JP 'waist law' fights obesity
日本立法助国民减肥
The Japanese government recently passed a national law mandating companies and local governments to measure waistlines of people between 40 and 74. But experts say its limits – 85cm for men and 90cm for women - are too hard to reach. The law will probably encourage overmedication and ultimately raise health care costs.
日本政府近日立法，强制地方政府和企业量度年龄介于40至74岁人士的腰围，规定男性腰围不得超过85厘米，女性不得超过90厘米。但专家指出，政府所定标准难以达到，可能会造成用药过度最终导致增加医疗开支的反效果。

上小学三年级的小侄女，聪明伶俐，成绩优异。喜欢上网和人家下棋，前一阵要期末考试，妹妹不准她上网了。昨日考完了，只听她兴奋的说:"终于解放啦！这个电脑就归我了！"她爸爸接道:"那电视机归我了！""那妈妈呢？"我问她。"呵呵！洗衣机！"全家爆笑。

'greasy spoon'
通常是一家人或是夫妻两个经营的小店，英语叫做greasy spoon。Greasy是油腻的意思，spoon是指调羹。这种比喻的说法可能是说小饭馆的勺子总是油腻腻的，洗不干净的样子。
请看例句：
Mike, you ought to try the potstickers at that little Chinese restaurant on New York Avenue. It looks like a greasy spoon but its potstickers are great and cheap.
迈克，你得上纽约大街那个小中餐馆试试。那馆子看起来不像样，但他们的锅贴味道真棒，价钱还便宜。

我就是一名正在找工作的08届毕业生。我并不担心找不到工作。据我所知，好多工作大学生不愿意干而不是没工作干。这还是心态问题，全社会都要转变。"上大学就有好工作"这个观念，要从根本上改变，从长期利益讲，如果国民受高等教育程度达到清洁工和农民都是大学生，何愁不国富民强？
上海136****7477
不管有没有师资力量，各校都在集中开设几乎相同的热门专业和课程，导致学生和毕业生人数激增。然而，市场能承受的人数是十分有限的。造成当前这种情况也是必然结果。
江西南昌158****0316
热门专业不一定好就业。以前热门的，以后也许就是就业压力最大的，既然高校开设相应的专业，就说明社会需要这方面的人才。我觉得我们没必要过多担心今后的就业情况，努力学好专业知识，不断提升自己的综合能力才是最重要的。只要你有真本事，还怕找不到工作么？
北京134****0525
就业形势归根结底还是供需关系决定的。大学教育没有培养出能给企业带来效益的有用人！而企业则普遍急功近利，都想招聘"成品"，而不愿意耗时多年培训人才。
