Growing Jobs
What sort of jobs will people be doing ten years from now? According to① a survey published by an American university②, the ten fastest growing jobs will be related to③ computers and health.

[第1段译文]
从现在起到以后的10年间,人们将从事什么种类的工作?根据美国一所大学发表的一份调查报告表明,增长速度最快的十种职业将与电脑和健康有关。它们包括电脑系统分析师、数据分析师和数据库经理。但是对健康护理专业人员的需求也会增加。其中一些工作将会是新的工作,比如说生物信息学(研究)者,把计算机技术与生物技术结合起来的人。其他的将更传统些。例如,需要更多的家庭护理员来照顾飞速老龄化的人群。但是很多年轻人也需要专业的照顾:1 400万美国人遭受表达或语言的障碍之苦,而其中600万人不满18岁。语言病理学家(帮助那些语言有障碍的人)的数量到2012年有望翻一番。而对社会工作者的需求量仍会很大。
