英语专业四级阅读训练：大学与成功

　　The benefits of putting more people in college are also oversold. Part of the college wage premium is an illusion.

　　使更多人读大学的好处也被过分颂扬了。大学毕业生工资提升有一部分属于假象。

　　People who go to college are, on average, smarter than people who dont. In an economy that increasingly rewards intelligence, youd expect college grads to pull ahead of the pack even if their diplomas signified nothing but their smarts.

　　读大学的人一般比不读大学的人聪明一些。在一个日益奖赏才智的经济体制下，你总会期望大学毕业生成为同龄人中的佼佼者，即使他们的文凭除了意味着其聪明外别无其他。

　　College must make many students more productive workers. But at least some of the apparent value of a college degree, and maybe a lot of it, reflects the fact that employers can use it as a rough measure of job applicants intelligence and willingness to work hard.

　　大学必须使许多学生成为更具生产力的工人。然而，在大学学位的表面价值中，至少有一些甚至更多能够反映这样一个事实：雇主们可以把它作为一个粗略标准，衡量求职者的聪明才智和积极肯干精神。
