The Popularity of Civil Service Exam

Inrecent years, there are people in expanding numbers who have participated inthe test for civil servants. Millions of students choose civil servant as theirmost ideal occupation after graduation. According to the authoritative statistic,more than 1.5 million people take the exam, and the most competed positionratio is 9175:1.The craze in civil service exam has attracted widespread attention.In my opinion, people take part in the exam should basis on their personalityand dreams, not just drifting with the current.

近年來，參加公務員考試的人不斷擴大。成千上萬的學生選擇公務員作為他們畢業后最理想的職業。據權威統計，超過1500000人參加考試，而最具競爭性的職位錄取比例為9175: 1.公務員考試的熱潮已經引起了廣泛關注。在我看來，人們參加考試應該根據對他們的性格和夢想為依據，而不是隨波逐流。

Firstand foremost, one of fundamental causes which accounts for this kind of crazeis that most people think civil servant is the iron rice bowl, having lessstress in job market. Nowadays, not only fresh graduate faces great employment pressure,but also many high-educated, such as boffin, white-collar, have the samepressure. People who work in companies have to work overtime without paying.Besides, with the stronger ability of young people have, the larger chance they would get, when they become older, they would worry about theincreasingly fierce competition of society. But the civil service is different.It is stable, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they would not befired.

首先，造成這種瘋狂行為的其中一個根本原因是，大多數人認為公務員是鐵飯碗，在就業市場上具有更少的壓力。如今，不僅應屆畢業生面臨巨大的就業壓力，很多高學歷，如科學家，白領，也同樣有壓力。在公司上班要免費加班。此外，由于年輕人的能力越強，他們得到工作的機會更大，當他們慢慢變老了，他們會擔心競爭日益激烈的社會。但是，公務員是不同的。它是穩定的，只要他們不犯任何大過錯，他們是不會被解雇的。

Moreover,the high social position of civil servants is a crucial factor to attract manypeople to take part in the exam. In recent years, accompanied with the policyof reform and opening-up, both of national and local civil servants are morerespected. In addition, the mind of “A good scholar will make an official” hasdeeply rooted in people’s hearts. Most people think that civil servants owningpower would glorify and illuminate the ancestors.

此外，公務員的高社會地位是吸引許多人參加考試的一個關鍵因素。近年來，由于改革開放的政策，國家和地方公務員都受到了更多的尊重。再者，“學而優則仕”的想法已深深植根于人們的心中。大多數人認為，擁有權力的公務員可以光宗耀祖。

Lastbut not least, the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improvedgreatly, which undoubtedly become people’s preferable choices. In some bigcities of China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, registered permanent residence isvery important. House, school and medical insurance all link together with it. Generally,enterprise will not solve these problems for employees easily.

最后但并非最不重要的，公務員的福利和待遇有了很大的提高，這無疑成為人們最好的選擇。在中國的一些城市戶口是非常重要的，如：北京，上海。 房子，學校和醫療保險都和它聯系在一起。一般來說，企業將無法輕易棒員工解決這些問題。

Toconclusion, this craze for civil service exam will keep a long time inthe following years. If most high quality talents gather in the governmentdepartments, it might lead to a waste of resources. Both the individuals andthe government should have a more objective recognition of the civil service exam.

總結，公務員考試熱在接下來的幾年里將會長期持續。如果大多數高素質人才都聚集在政府部門，可能會導致資源浪費。個人和政府都應該對公務員考試有更客觀的認識。
