The study shows that nearly half the organizations featured in the Times Top 100 Graduates Employers plan to expand their graduate programs this year, increasing the total number of vacancies available for new graduates by more than 10 percent compared with 2006 recruitment levels.
    【核心词汇】graduate a.毕业生 v.毕业 vacancy n.空缺，空位 recruitment n.补充，征募新兵 compared with与……相比
     【结构分析】本句是复合句。主干是主谓宾结构，其中谓语shows的宾语由that引导的名词性从句that nearly half the organizations featured in the Times Top 100 Graduates Employers plan to expand their graduate programs this year充当。现在分词结构increasing the total number of vacancies available for new graduates by more than 10 percent compared with 2006 recruitment levels作状语从句，可以理解为结果状语，by表示增加的幅度。句末的过去分词结构compared with 2006 recruitment levels作比较状语。
    【参考译文】研究表明，《时代》重点介绍的排名前100名的毕业生雇主单位中有将近一半计划今年将扩大毕业生招生规模，为新的毕业生增加利用的空缺职位数量，这个数量与2006年的招募水平相比，会增加10%以上。
