应征入伍:大学生的新出路?
For a young Chinese college student five years ago, deciding to join the military would have taken a lot of courage.
五年前,对于中国的年轻大学生们而言,参军入伍需要很大的勇气。
But today, joining the military has become an increasingly popular choice for students. This is due to the demand for advanced talents in the military and new policies encouraging students to join the army.
然而时至今日,参军入伍日渐成为学生们的热门选择。这是因为军队对高新人才的渴求,以及鼓励学生参军的新政策的出台。
Zhou Chengchen, 24, a graduate student majoring in finance at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, passed the physical checkup of the conscription process early this month.
24岁的周成晨(音译)就读于宁波诺丁汉大学金融专业,本月初他已顺利通过了征兵体检。
“I hope to strengthen both my body and mind through intense drills. Also, I’m not worried about resuming my studies if I leave,” he said. “I regard joining the army a good career path.”
他说:“我希望通过高强度训练来增强体魄。一旦离开学校后,我也不必为耽误学业而担忧。我把参军入伍当做一条不错的职业之路。”
Zhou is not the only student to have turned his eyes to military camps.
将目光投向军营的并非只有周成晨一人。
As modern warfare and military tactics involve increasingly complex technology and maneuvers, maintaining modern troops requires well-educated talents to operate complicated equipment.
由于现代战争与战术愈发地涉及到一些复杂技术以及军事演习,这样一来要保持现代军队的实力,就需要一批受过良好教育的人才来操控这些复杂的设备。
According to Beijing’s conscription office, compared with 2001 – the first year Beijing began to enroll university students in the army - the ratio of university recruits has risen from 0.1 percent to 60 percent.
北京市政府征兵办公室表示,与北京市首次征召在校大学生入伍的2001年相比,大学生士兵所占征集兵员比例已从0.1%上升至60%。
“A bachelor’s or higher degree can help you get through the application process. Your knowledge in a particular area may prove to be invaluable,” said Song Xiepeng, deputy director of the conscription office in Beijing.
北京市征兵办公室副主任宋协鹏表示:“拥有本科及以上学历可有助于你成功通过申请流程。具备特定领域的知识可能会变成无价之宝。”
For instance, according to Song, those studying languages can play a big role, as communication between the militaries of different countries is vital. Those studying telecommunications or electronics are also in demand, as both will be key areas of competition in the future.
宋协鹏举例说道,由于各国军队之间的交流至关重要,因此语言类专业的学生们便可以发挥很大的作用;而通讯或电子专业的学生也十分走俏,因为二者都将成为未来军事竞赛的关键领域。
