【参考范文】 Jobs College Graduates Want to Do
The chart has clearly revealed the differences between female and male students in their job preferences and choices after graduation.
The most desired jobs for boys, according to priority, are managers, businessmen and lawyers. Girls also like to pursue these professions, but the percentage drops considerably, compared with the great number of girls who are interested in becoming teachers.
What has brought about this result? I believe that many girls may prefer the teaching positions because they like to take care of and give guidance to the younger generation, while boys like to become managers and businessmen because they like the idea of standing up to challenges and want to prove that they have it in them to be both socially and financially successful.
The findings will definitely exert some influence on the university education in China. to better prepare the students for their future jobs, all universities and colleges in China should take into consideration students' job preferences, when they design syllabuses and offer courses to their students.
【参考译文】 大学毕业生想从事的工作
这一图表清晰地反映了男女学生在毕业后的职业选择方面存在的不同。
男生最理想的工作，依照优先顺序，分别是：经理、商人和律师。女生也喜欢从事这些职业，但与数量颇多的想成为教师的女生相比，想从事这些职业的女生比例要低得多。
是什么造成了这样的结果呢?我认为许多女生之所以选择教师这一职业，是因为她们喜欢照顾和指导年轻的一代，而男生喜欢成为经理和商人，则是因为他们喜欢迎接挑战，也想证明他们无论在社交方面还是财富方面都有成功的能力。
这些发现必然将对中国的大学教育产生影响，为了使学生们能更好地为将来的工作做好准备，所有的大学在设计教学大纲和开设课程的时候都必须考虑到学生的职业选择。

【句法点评】
1.The chart has clearly revealed the difference between female and male students in their job preferences and choices after graduation.
The charthas clearly revealed…用在文章开头引出对图表的描述，类似的表达还有asis revealedinthe chart、judgingfromthetable、we canclearly seefromthe chartthat…。in后接名词短语，表示差异存在的具体方面。preferences和choices均为抽象名词，用法地道。
2.What has brought about this result?I believe that…
在对图表进行描述之后，给出自己的评价，紧扣题目要求。短语bring about意为“引起，带来”，常用于bring about aproblem等语境中。
3.…they like the idea of standing up to challenges and want to prove that they have it in them to be both socially and financially successful.
stand upto意为“勇敢面对”，因而stand upto challenges即意为“迎接挑战”。and连接两个并列的谓语like和want，prove后又接一个that引导的宾语从句，增加了句子的复杂程度。have it in them可理解为“具有某种能力/潜质”。
