我對專業排名的看法 My View on Major Ranking
My View on Major Ranking
In recent years, it is very popular to rank majors. Major ranking lists based on a variety of criteria can be found on some educational websites or newspapers. These lists have great influence on students and many of them have come to rely on these lists to make their major-choice decisions.
近年來，專業排名很受歡迎。在一些教育網站或報紙上可以找到基于各種標準的專業排名列表。這些名單對學生有很大的影響，他們中的許多人已經開始依賴這些名單來做出他們選擇專業的決定。
To this phenomenon, people’s opinions vary from each other. Some think that the results of the ranking are helpful for high school students to choose a major field of study, e.g., some lists tell people what majors will lead to decent jobs after graduation. Some people, however, believe that many lists are actually useless. Rankings are only about numbers and they do not tell you anything about the distinct nature of the major. Besides, some majors may be listed as hot majors when students enter colleges, but will be unpopular when they graduate.
對于這種現象，人們的看法各不相同。一些人認為排名的結果對高中生來說是很有幫助的，他們可以選擇一個主要的研究領域，例如一些榜單告訴人們畢業后哪些專業會帶來體面的工作。然而，有些人認為許多清單實際上是沒有用的。排名僅僅是關于一些數據，它們沒有告訴你關于專業的不同性質的任何東西。此外，一些專業可能在學生進入大學時被列為熱門專業，但在畢業后將不受歡迎。
As far as I’m concerned, we should not over-stress major ranking. It should be remembered that rankings can play a big role in the selection of a major but it should not be the only criterion. Many factors including your own perception of the major should matter in your final choice.
就我而言，我們不應該過分強調專業排名。應該記住的是，排名在選擇專業的過程中扮演了重要的角色，但它不應該是唯一的標準。包括你自己對專業的看法在內的許多因素在你最終的選擇中都是重要的。
