每日一词 131 candidate

Day 131 candidate

基础篇： a person who applies for a job or is nominated for election

So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.

进阶篇：名词，表示候选人、应试者、求职者，人选。具体意思取决于上下文。比如总统候选人，称为 presidential candidate, 通过博士资格考, 正在写博士论文的学生一般被称为 doctoral candidate 或者Phd candidate； 找工作的也可以称为 candidate. 

Joe Biden recently decided to join others as a presidential candidate. 

Quite a few Ph.D. candidates gave up their doctoral degree and moved to Silicon Valley to star star-ups.

应用篇：

1）翻译：人才市场竞争太激烈，僧多粥少。

There are far more candidates than jobs in the competitive job market. / In the cut-throat job market, there are too many candidates and not nearly enough jobs. 

2) 造句：情景，（这个词真的印象深刻）之前投简历，面试机会都没给，HR给我的邮件里直接说：

We already have other candidates.
