參考范文
We can see in the picture that the white-haired parents are feeding their adult son, who has graduated from college but refuses to work and depends on his parents to live. 1 Here, the adult son is a typical NEET. NEET is an abbreviation for Not in Employment, Education or Training, referring to the young people who are unemployed, not enrolled in school or engaged in housework, and not seeking work or the technical training needed for work but seeking security from parents. 2
In my opinion, there are two reasons behind the phenomenon. 3 For one thing 4 , with the development and popularity of higher education, the number of graduates is increasing each year and the graduates have to face great employment pressure. With the fierce competition in the job market, some of them cannot stand out and then stay at home, relying on their parents. For another 4 , some graduates are generally dissatisfied with the options and opportunities available to them.
In any case, I think there is no excuse for any young people to refuse to work and simply depend on their parents. 5 They should accept their social role as an adult in seeking full-time employment after graduation or further training.
我們可以從圖中看到,白發(fā)蒼蒼的父母在給他們已成年的、大學畢業(yè)卻拒絕工作的“啃老族”孩子喂奶。圖中的孩子是一個典型的“啃老族”?!翱欣献濉笔且粋€縮寫詞,表示不就業(yè),不升學,不進修或參加就業(yè)輔導,指的是那些無業(yè)、不上學、不參與家務勞動、也不去找工作或者尋求工作所需的技術培訓而只是賴在家里尋求家長庇護的年輕人。
在我看來,這個現象背后有兩個原因。第一,隨著高等教育的發(fā)展和普及,每年的畢業(yè)生數量都在增加,畢業(yè)生必須要面對巨大的就業(yè)壓力。伴隨著求職市場的激烈競爭,他們中的一些人無法脫穎而出而回家靠父母生活。第二,總體來說,一些畢業(yè)生對于現有的選擇和機遇不太滿意。
任何情況下,我都認為年輕人沒有理由拒絕工作,純粹依賴父母。他們應該接受自己成年人的社會角色,畢業(yè)后去尋找全職的工作或者深造。

句法點評
1. NEET is an abbreviation for Not in Employment, Education or Training, referring to the young people who are unemployed, not enrolled in school or engaged in housework, and not seeking work or the technical training needed for work but seeking security from parents.
這是一個很長的復雜句,包含了現在分詞短語referring to the young people,定語從句who are unemployed, not enrolled...or the technical training以及過去分詞短語needed for work,句式變化多樣。
2. For another, some graduates are generally dissatisfied with the options and opportunities available to them.
本句中采用了be dissatisfied with這一短語,意為“對……不滿意”;available to表示“對……來說是可以獲得的”。
