考研人數(shù)逐年增加,競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復習的日程。眾所周知,閱讀理解占據(jù)了考研英語二100分試卷的一半分值,而考研英語閱讀文章大多來自英美國家的主流報刊雜志,所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章,對以后讀懂文章做對題目來說會大有裨益。
學習步驟如下:
1.不看漢語譯文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看漢語譯文比對自己理解的意思與之出入
3.強化記憶重點單詞(以記憶其漢語意思為主)
Big firms have their flaws, of course. They can be slow to respond to customers' needs, changing tastes or disruptive technology. If they grew big thanks to state backing, they are often bureaucratic and inefficient. To idolize big firms would be as unwise as to idolize small ones.
Rather than focusing on size, policymakers should look at growth. One of the reasons why everyone loves small firms is that they create more jobs than big ones. But many small businesses stay small indefinitely. The link between small firms and jobs growth relies entirely on new start-ups, which are usually small, and which by definition create new jobs .
短文翻譯
當然,大公司也有他們的缺點。他們在顧客需求、品味變化以及顛覆性技術方面反應遲緩。如果是因為有政府做靠山而坐大,那么他們往往還一副官僚做派,效率低下。吹捧大公司跟吹捧小企業(yè)一樣,都不是明智之舉。
決策者們應該關注增長,而不是關注規(guī)模。大家喜歡小公司的其中一個原因就是小公司和大公司相比能夠提供更多的就業(yè)。但是,許多小公司一直保持小規(guī)模。小公司與就業(yè)增長之間的聯(lián)系全部依賴新創(chuàng)業(yè)公司,這些公司一般規(guī)模都很小,通常能提供新的工作。
