Seasonal fruit is widely considered one of the healthiest foods.
有的工作分忙时和闲时,比如水果的种植和收获季都是忙时,每年会有拉美人去美国采摘水果,就可以说:
Every year Latin Americans travel to the US to do seasonal work, such as picking fruit. 或 Seasonal fruit pickers travel to America every year and send paychecks to their families back home.
每年感恩节和圣诞节,美国的各大商场为了应对购物潮,都会雇佣临时工,今年 11 月底《经济学人》Finance and economics 版块一篇文章还专门分析了这种现象,文章摘要是这样写的: As firms struggle with seasonal hiring, Amazon turns to automation.
文中 seasonal 出现了多次,包括这句: J.C. Penney, a department-store chain, is luring seasonal workers by entering them in a raffle for gifts and holidays.
3. 怎样学会使用这个词?
1)翻译下面的句子: 很多旅游目的地都有旺季和淡季,旺季往往会雇佣不少季节性工人。
(参考翻译:High season and low season mark many tourist destinations, which tend to hire a good number of seasonal workers. 或 Many tourist destinations have high season and low season, and tend to hire a decent amount of seasonal labor during high season.) 2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。
