“校园招聘”是准毕业生们最关注的一件事,也是最常听到的一个词,不过它的英文叫法却非常有趣和形象。我们来看看双语解释:
The milk round is the term commonly used in the UK to describe the phenomenon of companies touring universities each year, in order to advertise their opportunities and recruit students.
在英国,“milk round”这个短语通常指每年各类公司走进高校宣讲他们的招聘计划并向学生们提供就业机会的活动,即我们所说的“校园招聘”.
Milk being delivered direct to homes is a long-standing tradition in Great Britain. So, in the mid-1960s, when companies began touring universities to promote and advertise their job opportunities directly to candidates, the visits became known informally as “the milk round”.
牛奶直接投递上门是存在了很久的一个传统。因此,在20世纪60年代中期,当很多公司开始走访校园并直接向毕业求职的学生们宣讲招聘计划时,milk round这个叫法就应运而生了。
