詞：candidate
英英釋義：a person who applies for a job or is nominated for election
例句：So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.
2. 體會這個詞 （進階篇）
“candidate”是名詞，意思是“候選人、應試者、求職者、人選”，具體意思要取決于上下文。比如競選總統的人就叫 presidential candiate；上完了博士階段的課程，正在寫博士論文的學生一般被叫做 doctoral candidate 或 PhD candidate；找工作的也可以叫 candidate。
candidate 是個精確、好用的單詞，閱讀原版雜志和書籍經常可以碰到這個詞。我們來通過幾個例句了解、掌握它。
比如前不久美國前副總統 Joe Biden 決定競選下一屆美國總統，我們可以說：
Joe Biden decided to run for prsident in 2020.
我們可以用 candidate 來改寫：
Joe Biden recently decided to join others as a presidential candiate.
好幾個博士候選人都放棄了博士學位，跑到硅谷去創業：
Quite a few PhD candidates gave up their doctoral degree and moved to Silicon Valley to start start-ups.
目前只有五個人對這個銷售職位感興趣，我們就可以說：
So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.
3. 從認識到會用（作業）
1）翻譯下面的句子：? ?
人才市場競爭太激烈，僧多粥少。
（參考翻譯： There are far more candidates than jobs in the competitive job market. 或 In the cut-throat job market, there are too many candidates and not nearly enough jobs.）
2）結合自己的生活、學習、工作、興趣等，想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達。先簡要描述這個場景，再造句。
場景：?
造句 He finally stands out among so many candidates for his fluency in English.
