摘要：截至目前，仍有50.9%的大學生未收到用人單位的錄用通知。就業(yè)壓力不小，不過大學生們對待遇的期望卻不低。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?

　　A new survey has found that with a record 7.49 million students graduating from universities and colleges in July, the job market is expected to be fierce.

　　However, the majority of prospective graduates have not slashed their job expectations.

　　The survey has been conducted by Renren.com, which found that 40 percent of prospective graduates have a salary expectation of between 8,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan per month. That's roughly 1,300 to 1,700 U.S. dollars. Only 12 percent expected a monthly salary of 2,000 to 4,000 yuan.

　　一項最新調(diào)查表明，今年七月大學畢業(yè)生總數(shù)創(chuàng)新高，達到749萬，屆時就業(yè)市場的競爭將會非常激烈。

　　但是，大部分應屆畢業(yè)生并沒有降低就業(yè)期望。

　　由人人網(wǎng)進行的此項調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，四成畢業(yè)生的期望月薪達8000到10000元，相當于1300至1700美元。期望月薪2000-4000元之間的畢業(yè)生只有12%。

　　【講解】

　　文中的salary expectation就是“期望月薪”的意思，其中expectation是名詞，意為“期望，預期”，如：His parents have great expectations for his future.(他父母對他的前途深寄厚望。);其動詞為expect，指持有高度的信心，期待某事發(fā)生，如：expect a pleasant vacation(期待愉快的假期)

　　第一段中的slash作動詞，意為“減少，大大降低”，如：slash prices(大幅度降價)，slash taxes(削減稅收)
