The idea of “Gap Year” is getting popular in China recently. Gap Year means after graduation, to take a year break to go for a long travel or have some special experiences abroad before taking a job. And I support this idea. The Gap Year will benefit you in many ways.

最近在中國，“間隔年”這個(gè)概念變得越來越流行。間隔年的意思是在畢業(yè)以后，參加工作以前，花一年的時(shí)間休整，來一次海外長途旅行或者是經(jīng)歷一切特殊體驗(yàn)。我非常支持這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，間隔年會(huì)對(duì)你各個(gè)方面都有好處。

Gap Year is a good buffer to the graduates. They have been being a student since they went to the kindergarten, they are severely lacking of experience of being out of school, and they have no idea how would it be if they enter the society without enough preparation. The Gap Year will give them a certain amount of time to study on the real society, and help them make a sound choice of career.

間隔年對(duì)畢業(yè)生來說是一個(gè)很好的緩沖。他們自從上幼兒園以來就一直是一名學(xué)生，嚴(yán)重缺乏校外的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，對(duì)在沒有充分的情況下進(jìn)入社會(huì)將會(huì)是怎樣的情況而無從知曉。間隔年給了他們足夠的時(shí)間去研究學(xué)習(xí)真實(shí)的社會(huì)，幫助他們?cè)趽駱I(yè)的時(shí)候做出更理智的選擇。

No matter you spend your Gap Year on travelling or volunteering, you will have special experience. You will learn how to socialize, and have the mind opened. You will grow up as an independent, confident, caring and matured person, which you help you to do better in job in the future.

不管你把間隔年花在旅行還是做志愿者上，你總能收貨特別的經(jīng)歷。你將學(xué)會(huì)如何社交，思維開闊。你會(huì)成長為一個(gè)獨(dú)立、自信、有愛心、成熟的人，這對(duì)你在將來的工作中更有幫助。

And the friends you made in the Gap Year also a great treasure of your life.

在間隔年里交到的朋友亦是人生的財(cái)富。

I would like to have a Gap Year before I go to work.

我很樂意在我參加工作以前來一個(gè)間隔年。
