In a slowing U.S economy, job opportunities are shaped by uncertainty. As president of a small college, I am keenly aware of the job market that awaits this year’s graduates. The recent news that Bear Steams was nullifying a few hundred job offers to business school students fits a pattern of corporate downsizing that isn’t lost on college campuses across the USA. But even with the darkening economic clouds, rays of good news await this year’s graduates. Sure, companies are laying off workers, but many are also looking for new talent, especially at the entry level.

　　As more than a million entrants flood the job market, students should know that in a global marketplace, language skills will go a long way. So will flexibility. If a grad is ready to accept an entry-level job, give a little on job requirements and move if the company asks, chances are he’ll land a job. So despite the rising job losses, a new graduate should embrace the market as the first challenge of a long career.

　　美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)蕭條，各種不確定因素對(duì)就就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)深有影響。身為敝院院長(zhǎng)，我敏銳地意識(shí)到諸位畢業(yè)生都是當(dāng)今就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的熱門人才。近來(lái)有消息稱，貝爾斯登公司取消了原本給予數(shù)百名金融專業(yè)學(xué)生的機(jī)會(huì)，這的確符合如今美國(guó)公司針對(duì)畢業(yè)生裁員的大氣候。但即便經(jīng)濟(jì)市場(chǎng)滿目瘡痍，也不可心灰意冷。對(duì)今年的畢業(yè)生來(lái)說(shuō)，前景很是樂觀。因?yàn)楦鱾�(gè)公司裁員的同時(shí)也在增員，特別是要注新鮮血液。

　　According to a well-informed source, before this year’s Spring Festival, Carrefour made its “first intimate contact” with Xindaxin company. Without doubt the Guangzhou Municipal Government served as the “matchmaker”. The two parties “had an affinity for each other” in only a few months. What on earth is Xindaxin’s appeal to Carrefour? It is of great concern to the outsiders / the public.

　　Mr He, general manager of Xindaxin, instead of giving any positive response to this question, just made a general/ambiguous reply that Xindaxin boasts its uniqueness in the department stores industry in Guangzhou. Mr He disclosed that Xindaxin holds 35% of the shares of the newly-established company while Carrefour owns the other 65%: “which is in conformity with the policies of departments concerned, stipulating that the Chinese side must hold no less than 35% of the shares. ”
