    1 I have been away from here for a little while  <em>on the account of</em> my job.

    2 我已经从这里离开对为的工作.

    3 我已经从这里离开了一段时间对为的因为工作的原因.

    4 我已经从这里离开了一段时间,<em>因为</em>工作<em>的原因</em>。

    (一段时间”means "for a little while".“因为...的原因”means "on the account of" .)

    Tips:you can compare the words/phrases with "    " in sentence 1 and 4.

     

     I work in a University and the last month along with exams is a peak time for us.

    我在工作一所大学,并随着考试的最后一个月是我们的一个高峰时间。

    我在工作在一所大学里,并随伴随着考试的最后一个月是我们的一个高峰时间。

    我在一所大学里工作,伴随着考试的最后一个月是我们工作的一个高峰期。

    (You did a great job here because your  sentence structure is quite good.Both"并随”and "高峰时间”are OK for me to understand ,but I think "伴随" will be better here .and "高峰期”is widely used as an idiom.For example,每天的18:00 -19:00是下班高峰期)

     

    There are many changes happening in the UK.

    在英国有发生许多变化。

    在英国有正在发生着许多变化。

    英国正在发生着许多变化。

    (In the "None +Verb" sentence,"英国”isthe subject,which is followed by the verb"发生”.“正在...着" means things are happening.)

     

    The economic downturn as increased the number of students who are escaping the labour market and this is happening alongside a downsizing of staff in the public sector.

    一个经济低迷为增加学生谁是逃避,劳动力市场和工作人员一起在公共部门从裁员发生的数量。 
    一个经济低迷为增加学生数量(谁是为了逃避,劳动力市场的)和工作人员(一起与此同时)在公共部门从也在裁员发生的数量。 
    经济低迷增加(为了逃避劳动力市场的)学生数量,与此同时,公共部门也在裁员。

    "the economic downturn " is abstract,so we needn't put "一个”in front of it.Objects/organisms that are concret and can be touched, like an apple,a desk,a birds,a person,should be translated as"一个”苹果,“一张”桌子,“一只”鸟,“一个”人。

    students (who....)-->(....的)学生."Who" has no real meaning."who" cues us that the information in the brackets is used to explain the none "students". So "谁”in the sentence is incorrect.Here, I give you some examples.1 students (who are escaping the labour market)-->(逃避劳动力市场的)学生。2 birds(singing in the trees)-->(在树上唱歌的)小鸟;3 people( who love Michael Jackson)-->(喜欢Michael Jackson的)人们。

    "裁员“means "a downsizing of staff","firing many workers",etc.“裁”means“cutting the numbers","员”means"workers","staff".It's brief but useful,right?


     Work as a result is getting much harder. Further opportunities hopefully beckon.

    因此工作变得更加困难。希望召唤着更多的机会。

    因此工作变得更加困难。希望召唤着来更多的机会。

    Do You Find That Ebooks Make It Harder to Remember What You Just Read? 4-23 Today I read an article related to this issue and it made me think a lot : Do Ebooks make it harder for us to remember the details we've just read? That's an interesting question.Actually I have the same problems as the writer has when I read Ebooks.The author finds that when he/she read novels on the computer,he/she is unable to recall the names of the characters.My problem is similar.After I read 30% or 50% in Ebooks,I can hardly tell what I have just read about and how the material is organized. The writer says that ebooks do make it harder to remember .There is an interesting experiment offered by the author to support his/her idea.In the experiment,students who are unfamiliar with economics are provided with the knowledge of this course.Some use printed books while the others learn on the computer.Although finally students who learn on the computer can perform as good as the others who read on printed books,they seem to digest the material less fully and require more repetition than the printed-book readers during study. To explain why the Ebooks make us forgettable,we should first learn something about how we store information and recall things. When we recall something.,it's "remembering" if we conciously recall the information in the context,and it's "knowing" if we just cue ourselves with associations like the location of the relevant information in the book .The spatial landmarks seem irrelevent,but they are helpful because human beings' brain mechanisms for information storage can fuction well with their help. Obviously,Ebooks have a lot of disadvantages.They cannot offer us a sence of "how far along in the book we are" ,and"where we are right now".That's because during our reading,they only show us the precentage already read ,instead of page numbers(location cues can help memory);to return to an important point,we search by typing or flipping back quickly,instead of faning one or two pages slowly and glancing the whole pages carefully,so we cannot cement short-term memory by thus reviewing and build connection across the whole book.What's more,the scope provided by an Ebook ,which is limited by the screen of the computer or telephone,is much smaller than the books,so one complete part is divided into several pieces,so is our undertanding of the specific point.
