　　Certificate Craze on Campus

　　In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?

　　There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. To begin with, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Furthermore, diploma and certificates are still vital standards by which a good many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.

　　From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

　　參考譯文

　　近年來(lái)，考證在大學(xué)生中已經(jīng)變成一種新的熱潮。只是在校園中隨機(jī)詢(xún)問(wèn)一位學(xué)生他或她在忙什么，你可能就會(huì)得到這樣的答案：他正在準(zhǔn)備考取某種證書(shū)。為何出現(xiàn)這種熱潮?

　　這種現(xiàn)象主要有兩點(diǎn)原因。首先，正是就業(yè)壓力使得大學(xué)生去考取更多證書(shū)。隨著大學(xué)的擴(kuò)招，更多畢業(yè)生不得不面對(duì)就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的激烈競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。一個(gè)人如何使自己更具競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力?可能就是更多證書(shū)在手。此外，學(xué)位和證書(shū)仍是很多單位衡量個(gè)人能力的重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。為了改善就業(yè)條件，學(xué)生們迫使自己不斷參加考試。

　　在我看來(lái)，由于證書(shū)并不一定證明某人的能力，我們應(yīng)該更加理性面對(duì)證書(shū)。盲目地?zé)嶂杂讷@得證書(shū)只是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間�？傊�，我們應(yīng)該重視提升能力，而不是獲得沒(méi)有使用價(jià)值的證書(shū)。
