無業一代”英語怎么說

無業一代”英語怎么說

　　摘要：目前全球沒有工作的青年人數達3.11億，幾乎等同于全美人口數。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?

　　Yet more young people are idle than ever. OECD figures suggest that 26m 15- to 24-year-olds in developed countries are not in employment, education or training; the number of young people without a job has risen by 30% since 2007. The International Labour Organisation reports that 75m young people globally are looking for a job. World Bank surveys suggest that 262m young people in emerging markets are economically inactive. Depending on how you measure them, the number of young people without a job is nearly as large as the population of America (311m).

　　然而，更多的年輕人比之前更加無所事事。經合組織的數據顯示，發達國家有2600萬15至24歲的年輕人沒有工作、不在接受教育或者培訓;2007年后，無業年輕人的數量上升了30%。國際勞工組織報告，全球有7500萬的年輕人正在找工作。世界銀行調查顯示，新興市場有2.62億年輕人在經濟方面無所作為。取決于你如何計算，無業青年的數量幾乎跟美國人口數一樣多(3.11億)。

　　【講解】

　　節選自The Economist的這篇報道的原標題為Generation jobless，可譯為“無業一代”。表達“沒有工作的，失業的，無業的”這一意思的詞除jobless外，還有：unemployed，out of work，without work，out of a job，unwaged，workless，between jobs，redundant，laid off等。表達與jobless相反的意思的詞有employed, in work。OECD全稱為Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development，指“經濟合作和發展組織”。
