【口语积累】
1. 研究生入学考试 postgraduate entrance exam
“研究生”就是postgraduate,“入学”我们可以用admission或者entrance来表示,考试用exam或test都可以,因此,研究生入学考试可以说成postgraduate entrance exam或postgraduate admission test,最简单的直接用Kaoyan exam来表示也是可以的。
“考研”的“考”可以用“参加”的意思来表达,比如:participate,take part in,take;也可以用“注册”的意思来表达,比如:sign up to或register to。
I will be taking the postgraduate admission test next week.

“内卷”的说法我们在213期中讲过,这里再给大家介绍几种表示竞争的说法:competitive(竞争的)、cut-throat(竞争激烈的)、dog eat dog(竞争残酷的)。

3. 最吸金专业 most lucrative major
当我们说一个专业好,往往指的是它的就业前景(career prospect)。lucrative是“赚钱多的”,所以“最吸金专业”可以说the most lucrative major,或the highest-paying major。而描述“天坑”专业,可以用the most regretted major(最令人后悔的专业)或worst-paying major(薪资最低的专业)。
Computer engineering is the best college major for a lucrative career.

4. 上岸 admitted to
我们曾在202期中讲过“上岸”可以用secure,指“经过努力获得,取得,实现”。这里考研上岸指的是“考上”某所学校,“被录取”,我们还可以用get admitted/accepted to,get in等。
