　　There are some good arguments for a technical education given the right kind of student. Many European schools introduce the concept of professional training early on in order to make sure children are properly equipped for the professions they want to join. It is, however, presumptuous to insist that... Besides, this is unlikely to produce the needed number of every kind of professional... international corporations.
　　argument可以表示“论据，理由”；given充当介词，“考虑到”；introduce“引进，采用”；concept“概念”；professional training“职业培训”；in order to do“为了”，表目的；make sure“确保”；be equipped for“对...有准备”；presumptuous“冒昧的，唐突的”；insist“坚持认为”，表示观点的词；be unlikely to do“不大可能做某事”；professional“专业人员”；international corporation“跨国公司”，就“公司”而言，规模corporation＞company＞firm。
　　But, for a small group of students, professional training might be the way to go since well-developed skills, all other factors being equal, can be the difference between having a job and not... It does not take a lifelong acquaintance to pick up various software programs... In any case, basic computer skills are only complementary to the host of real skills that are necessary to becoming any kind of professional. It should be observed, of course, that no school, vocational or not, is helped by a confusion over its purpose.
　　a small group of students“少部分学生”；the way to go表示“可取之路”；since“因为”，引导原因状语从句；well-developed“完善的，健全的”；skill“技能”。It does not take a lifelong acquaintance to pick up various software programs.“不需要花费毕生的时间去学习各种不同的软件程序。”acquaintance“了解，知道”；pick up“学习”；various“各种各样的”，也可以用a variety of；in any case“无论如何”；be complementary to“对...的补充”；it should be observed that“人们应该注意到”，it充当形式主语，真正的主语是that从句；vocational“职业的”；confusion“困惑”，动词confuse，常见搭配confuse with“混淆”。
