The Chinese delivery giant Meituan flies drones between skyscrapers to kiosks around the city. 中国外卖巨头美团的无人机正穿梭于高楼大厦和城内各处的智能空投柜之间。 My iced tea arrived from the sky. 我的冰茶从天而降。 In a buzzy urban area
Tembu, the boy, opened his eyes in the dark. 男孩坦布在黑暗中睁开眼睛。 There was no moon that night, and the deathly stillness of the surrounding jungle was broken only occasionally by the cry of a cicada. Som

本文继续讨论学生英文简历中“求职目标”项下的语言表达问题。本文的主题是举例说明部分学生的求职目标语焉不详,招聘方单看这样的英语表述,极有可能会茫茫然大惑不解,惶惶然手足无措,到头来使我们很不容易达成自己求职的目标。请看例证: 例1. Objective: excellent. 例2. CAREER Objective: To be the best myself 本文所在的系列文章,所涉群体
