1. 最严党纪
the strictest code of conduct
请看例句：
The Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has published new
rules on sanctions for those who violate the Party code of conduct. The new
rules have been dubbed by many to be the most comprehensive and strictest code
of conduct for all CPC members since the opening up and reform drive began.
中共中央近日印发《中国共产党纪律处分条例》。该条例被称为"改革开放以来最全、最严党纪"。
新的纪律处分条例要求官员不仅要在政治上清明(to be honest in politics)，而且要俭身养德(cultivate their own
character)，家庭和睦(run a harmonious family)。
党员要严格区分公众利益和个人利益，把公众利益摆在首位(put the public's interest
first)，无私工作。要崇尚简朴(champion simplicity)、杜绝奢靡(guard against extravagance)。

2. 炸鱼薯条
fish and chips
请看例句：
President Xi Jinping visited a traditional English pub on Thursday with
British Prime Minister David Cameron and tried fish and chips - a dish that
symbolizes Britain - during his visit to the UK this week.
习近平主席本周访问英国，22日他与英国首相卡梅伦一同前往传统的英国酒吧小酌，并品尝英国代表性美食——炸鱼薯条。
提起英国，你首先想到的是什么?英女王(the Queen)、下午茶(afternoon tea)、威廉·莎士比亚(William
Shakespeare)、披头士乐队(the Beatles)，当然少不了炸鱼薯条。
炸鱼薯条是英国盛行的外带食品(take-away food)，将鳕鱼(codfish)或比目鱼(flatfish)，去骨(remove
bones)、裹面(coat the fish with flour)、高火炸(deep fry)。吃的时候配上炸薯条(fried
chips)和不同口味的调味酱，用报纸一包就能边走边吃，那滋味也不比牛排(steak)或鹅肝(goose
liver)差，难怪能成为习大大点名想吃的英国国菜。

3. 国考
civil service exam
请看例句：
The number of candidates for the 2016 national civil service exam has
surpassed last year's numbers, with more than 132,000 applicants on Tuesday-the
most in a single day-deemed qualified for the exam.
2016年国考报名人数已超过去年，20日的通过审核人数超过13.2万人，创单日新高。
截至23日，最热门职位(the most sought-after job)是中国就业培训技术指导中心的一个岗位，吸引了2036位报名者(has
drawn 2,036 applicants)。同时，尚有549个职位无人报名(have not registered a single
applicant)。
中央职位(jobs offered by central government departments and
subsidiaries)倍受青睐。县(区)级及以下职位(jobs at or below the county or district
level)则成为冷门职位(the least sought-after jobs)。

4. 贫二代
poor second generation
请看例句：
According to the college graduate employment report for 2013 by the Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences, ordinary college graduates from rural families face
the most difficulties job hunting, and the unemployment rate of this group is as
high as 30.5%. Such a phenomenon has drawn wide public concern, and some media
outlets have even started calling these graduates from rural areas the "poor
second generation".
中国社科院发布的《2013年应届生就业调查报告》显示，农村家庭的普通本科院校毕业生成为就业最为困难群体，失业率高达30.5%。该现象引起了社会各界的广泛关注，一些媒体机构甚至开始将农村地区的大学毕业生称为"贫二代"。
农村贫困大学生是"贫二代"中颇引人关注的群体。高失业率(high unemployment
rate)意味着大学4年的书本知识并未给他们带来一份体面的工作(a decent
job)，意味着他们无颜面对父老乡亲，意味着"贫二代"中本来最有希望依靠知识改变命运(change their fate through
study)的这一部分人，他们的梦想还未出发，在现实面前就已折戟。这是阶层固化(class solidification)的危险信号(dangerous
sign)。
供孩子上大学(send their children to university)对农村家庭来说是一项沉重的经济负担(a great economic
pressure for rural families)。如果农村大学生毕业后找不到工作，这些家庭也许会陷入贫困(fall into
poverty)。同时，所谓的"贫二代"现象导致更多的农村人认为"读书无用"(study is
useless)。有关部门和社会各界应该给这些农村大学生提供必要的帮助，以避免贫困代际传递(avoid the intergenerational
transmission of poverty)。

5. 份子钱
franchise fee
请看例句：
Didi Kuaidi is cooperating with authorities and traditional taxi operators
in Shanghai to launch a taxi driver service center, in a move to trial a new
management system in which taxi drivers pay service fees instead of franchise
fees.
滴滴快的正联合上海市有关部门和传统出租车公司，以组织"出租汽车驾驶员服务社"的形式，试水以服务费取代"份子钱"的出租车管理模式。
入社驾驶员每月只需要缴纳50元服务费，服务社除提供驾驶员销卡(number cancellation)、发票管理(invoice
management)等日常服务外，还将提供车辆更新(vehicle replacement)、车辆商业保险(commercial auto
insurance)、线上代缴税金(online rate payment)等便利服务。
服务社还将给司机一定补贴：如顶灯设置(roof beacon settings)、计价器软件更新(taximeter software
upgrades)的费用。

6. 美国中考(SSAT)
Secondary School Admission Test
请看例句：
The Upper Level Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) results for a total
of 357 students, who took the tests in China on Sept 19, were canceled by the
SSAT Board.
9月19日参加中国地区高级SSAT的所有357名考生的考试成绩均被SSAT委员会取消。
SSAT考试是美国私立高中(private high
schools)入学考试，相当于中国的中考。其考试难度和高昂的学费一直是阻碍普通家庭学生申请学校的门槛。这些一流的私立高中素有"小常春藤(Ivy League
high schools)"之称，在美国也只有2%的学生能够就读(only admit about 2% of all American
students)。
SSAT委员会决定取消成绩缘于"有充分理由质疑这次考试成绩的有效性(there is a reasonable basis to question
the validity of scores)"。一些媒体解读，SSAT委员会的质疑可能缘于本次考试中中国考生的"大面积高分(suspiciously high
scores)"。

托福(TOEFL) Test of English as a Foreign Language
雅思(IELTS) International English Language Testing System
7. 扶老险
"helping the elderly" insurance
请看例句：
"Helping the elderly" insurance became available for purchase on Alibaba's
payment platform Alipay recently. The new insurance product may offer new
courage to do-gooders.
阿里巴巴旗下支付平台支付宝近期推出"扶老人险"。这份新保险产品也许能让好心人重拾勇气。
该险种保费(premium)为3元，保期一年(valid for one year)，投保后如果发生"帮助老人(lend a helping hand
to the elderly)反而被讹"的状况，最高可获得2万元的法律诉讼费用赔偿(pays up to RMB20,000 to cover legal
fees)。
"扶老人险"的推出引发热议，有人认为此举可以帮助好心人(good
Samaritans)讨回公道，有人则认为这非但不能解决问题，反而可能会助长"讹人"之风(encourage such extortion)。

8. 老漂族
elderly immigrants
请看例句：
"Elderly immigrants" become a hot topic as more and more elderly are
leaving their hometown, and settling down in cities with their children. Most of
the elderly immigrants come to cities to help taking care of their
grandchildren.
"老漂族"引发关注。如今越来越多的老年人离开故土，跟随子女来到陌生的城市落脚。帮忙带孩子是"老年漂"的主因。
虽然"老漂"生活让老人们能够亲近儿女、共享天伦(spend more time with his
family)，但他们也面临气候、饮食、风俗习惯的巨大改变，还有语言不通(difficulties in language)、异地社保、医疗(seek
medical treatment)等各种困扰。
"老漂族"背后，暴露的也不仅是飞速城镇化(urbanization)所导致的简单的人口迁徙问题，还有当前全社会所面临的养老服务(service for
the aged)、异地医保(remote medical insurance)等综合问题。
