1. They have to work harder to make it happen
1.他们不得不更加努力才能成功
Coming out of college with a 4.0 definitely will open a door or two for you. Ears prick1 up when they hear words like “Magna Cum Laude” or “Top of class” much more than when they hear “Passed all of her classes and ended up mid-level in rankings.” Call it biased2, but that is just how it is.
以4.0的成绩走出大学肯定会有一两扇门为你打开。当人们听到“以优异的学习成绩毕业”或者“班级的尖子生”的时候会竖起耳朵,而当人们听到“通过了所有课程,最终排名中等水平”的时候,就不那么有兴趣了。这叫做偏见,但是这就是事实。
So average students have to work a little harder after college to get doors to open for them. They have to knock on more and, in some cases, beat them down just to get an interview. Sometimes it helps to start with an internship3 or commission job just to get your foot in the door and then work on making a name for yourself by your work ethic4 and results.
因此一般的学生,在大学毕业之后需要更加努力工作才能打开为他们敞开的大门。他们不得不面试更多工作,在一些情况下,只是为了获得面试,都会让他们深受打击。有时候,通过作为实习生或者临时工来获得进入某公司门槛的机会,然后通过自己的职业道德和工作业绩来为自己争取一个正式的职位,是一个很有帮助的途径。
The Eye is a $189 case for your iPhone which has raised over $100,000 on the crowdfunding site with a huge checklist of features: “a 5 inch display, battery power, up to 256GB storage, SIM slots, an IR blaster & wireless5 charging!” But, look, there’s a simpler way to sum it up. It’s an iPhone case that is an Android phone.
这款名为 “Eye” 的手机壳是为苹果手机量身定制,5英寸的大屏,电池供电,高达256G内存,SIM卡插槽,支持红外功能以及无线充电,市价189美元,现已在众筹网站筹集资金10万余美元。说了这么多,一句话概括就是:它是一个苹果外接手机壳,但同时,它也是一部安卓手机!
When you have the Eye plugged in to your iPhone, you can use your phone as normal (albeit with a fairly bulky case strapped6 to it), or you can flip7 it round, and have an entirely8 separate phone that you can also use as normal. Who wouldn’t love that feature?
当你把 “Eye” 装在苹果手机上,你可以正常使用苹果系统所有功能(尽管套着一个相当蠢笨的外壳);或者,你也可以把手机翻到背面,就可以正常使用一部安卓手机。这么炫酷,有谁会不喜欢呢?
Most importantly, the Android phone’s battery can be used to charge the iPhone. It has 2800mAh of power storage, which can potentially triple an iPhone’s battery life – but, of course, that battery also needs to power the Eye’s phone too. That said, the designers promise a power drain of just 1% an hour.
最重要的是,这款安卓手机壳的电池也可以用来给苹果手机充电。这款手机壳内置2800mAh电池,可以使苹果手机的电池寿命延长三倍。当然,电池也得为手机壳充电。也就是说,设计人员承诺每小时耗电仅为1%。
Oh, and the phone itself has two sim slots, allowing you to have three entirely separate phone numbers – perfect for ensuring you keep on top of your Work/Life/Weird Satanic Cult9 balance. It can be so hard to ensure all three parts of your day get enough time!
不得不提的是,手机壳自身带有两个sim卡槽,这样的话,你就可以有三个手机号码,保证你应对工作、生活和各种骚扰电话,真是太完美了。想让你这一天过得焦头烂额都很难。
If the Eye excites you, the first 2,000 backers can pick one up at half of RRP, which will be shipped in August claims the manufacturer, Esti.
销售商Esti透露, 这款手机壳将于八月开始发货,如果你对这个手机壳感兴趣,前2000名赞助者可享受半价购买。
