　　今天的句子：

　　In a way, MasterClass seems ideally suited to frustrated 30-somethings for whom education has not necessarily resulted in upward mobility or even a job, who feel stuck in their career without a clear path to success.

　　A. encourages workers to go back to school

　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　In a way, MasterClass seems ideally suited to frustrated 30-somethings for whom education has not necessarily resulted in upward mobility or even a job, who feel stuck in their career without a clear path to success.

　　参考译文：在某种程度上，“大师课”似乎非常适合沮丧的30+人群——他们所受的教育并不一定带来了向上流动，甚至工作，他们觉得陷入了职业困境，看不到清晰的成功之路。

　　我是怎么知道30-somethings是三十多岁的人群呢?

　　因为后面是for whom,指代对象就只能是人了!

　　第二句：

　　In fact, the company refers to its target customers as CATS:”curious, aspiring 30-somethings.”

　　参考译文：实际上，该公司称其目标客户为CATS：“好奇、有抱负的30+人群”。

　　这里的简写也是很有意思的，是不是很涨知识啊!

　　第三句：

　　CATS are old enough not to be planning to return to school, but young enough, in theory, that they need help advancing in their career.

　　参考译文：CATS们已经到了不会打算重返学校的年纪，但从理论上讲，他们还足够年轻，在职业发展中需要帮助。

　　思考题解析：

　　It can be inferred from the text that MasterClass __.

　　A. encourages workers to go back to school

　　(鼓励工人回到学校)

　　“大师课”没有鼓励他们

　　A选项错误。

　　B. aspires to bring about more 30s CATS

　　(志在带来更多的CATS)

　　主要是aspire 这个词本来就和Master Class不搭配，

　　而且也不是带来更多的CATS，这种人的人数不是由这种课决定的。

　　B选项错误。

　　C. targets successful people in their thirties

　　(目标是三十多岁的成功人士)

　　第一句就说了，服务于那些升职无望，甚至是没有工作的人。

　　这些人不是所谓的成功人士，所以

　　C选项错误。

　　D. caters to people suffering middle age crisis

　　(服务那些陷入中年危机的人)

　　用中年危机替换升职无望，甚至没有工作，

　　这就是最佳答案!
