你认识这样的人吗?已经读到博士或拥有多个学位却依然寻求深造机会,而同龄人都已经工作好多年了。读书似乎是他们最大的乐趣和人生的意义所在。这样的人被称为“专业学生”,英文表达是professional student。
Professional student refers to a person who receives multiple degrees and keeps taking courses instead of holding a profession related to the degrees earned. It can be a compliment or an insult depending on the speaker.
“专业学生”指的是那种已经拿到好几个学位,依然继续进修深造,而不是去从事和既得学位有关的职业的人。这个称号可能是褒扬,也可能是挖苦,取决于讲话的人。
Ex. 1: a compliment
"Man, I think you're so cool for writing a dissertation on Mesoamerican maize fertilization. You're a real professional student!"
“老兄,你写的关于中美洲玉米受精的论文实在是太酷了。你真是个不折不扣的专业学生!”(褒扬)
Ex. 2 an insult
"Hey Jack, won't you get a real job and quit being a professional student?"
“嘿,杰克,你干嘛不去找份真正的工作,老是做专业学生呢?”(挖苦)
