美毕业生迎最难就业季
May is a month to celebrate college graduates and their achievements, wishing them well as they begin their career with a hard-earned degree under their belt.
五月本来该是庆祝毕业生们顺利毕业,学业有成的日子,并希望他们能够带着这个努力得来的学位,顺利开始自己的职场生涯。

Graduation, however, looks different this year.
然而,今年的毕业季看起来有点不一样。
The coronavirus outbreak has caused universities across the country to postpone their annual ceremonies or conduct them virtually.
疫情爆发使得全美的大学都延迟了毕业典礼的时间,或者改在网上举行。
And afterward, graduates will face one of the bleakest job markets in history.
而毕业生们之后要面对的,是美国史上最惨淡的就业市场。
With more than 30 million Americans applying for unemployment benefits and many companies reducing internships and entry level positions, college grads are left facing an uphill battle just when they thought their future could finally begin.
毕业生们准备大展宏图的时候,美国有超过三千万人申请了失业救济金,很多公司也减少了实习和入门级岗位。

Carly Rogers, a senior at the University of Florida, had hopes of jump-starting her public relations career upon graduation with an internship at Edelman in New York City.
卡丽·罗杰斯是佛罗里达州立大学的一名大四学生,她本来希望能在爱德曼公司的实习,然后将来找到一份公共关系方面的工作。
After an extensive application and interview process, Rogers received a call from Edelman congratulating her on landing the role -- but also informing her that the summer internship program was canceled.
经过一番复杂的申请和面试流程之后,罗杰斯接到了爱德曼公司打来的电话,恭喜她获得了实习的机会,但是也告诉她今年夏天的实习项目已经取消了。
"It was just like a surreal moment, like, 'Oh, you did it,'" Rogers said. "That's a really hard conversation to have."
“但是感觉很不真实,就好像你本来可以被录取的,”罗杰斯说道,“这话听起来真的很难过。”

Rogers was hopeful that the position at Edelman would get her foot in the door, leading to a full-time position when the internship ended.
罗杰斯本来满怀希望,这份爱德曼公司的实习工作会让她进入这个行业,等实习期满之后,希望能够转成正式岗位。
"It does concern me that, not only do I not have an internship now, but I also had a potential full-time offer coming," Rogers said. "It's additional stress."
“令我伤心的是,如今不仅失去了实习的机会,之前,我还推掉了一份全职的工作机会,”罗杰斯说道,“真是雪上加霜。”
