[Paragraph 1]

THE EMAIL had a businesslike tone.

這封電子郵件的商業(yè)化氣息很濃。

From a “client recruitment director”, it was “reaching out” to offer The Economist services. In the next sentence, the word “l(fā)everage” was used as a verb, relating to a “perspective”.

來(lái)自一位 "客戶總監(jiān)"，他 "伸出援手 "為本報(bào)提供服務(wù)。下一句話中，“l(fā)everage充分利用 "一詞被用作動(dòng)詞，與 "觀點(diǎn) "有關(guān)。

It concluded with a question: “Would you be able to hop on a 15-minute call”?

最后提出一個(gè)問(wèn)題："你方便接聽(tīng)一個(gè)15分鐘的電話嗎？"

Yet it stood out from the guff that clutters journalists’ inboxes for one reason: it came not from an established firm but from an undergraduate economics student at Yale University.

然而，這條消息從記者的垃圾郵件中脫穎而出，原因是：它不是來(lái)自一家知名公司，而是來(lái)自耶魯大學(xué)的一名經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)本科生。

The perspective to be “l(fā)everaged” was that of “Gen Z”, a marketing term for people now aged from roughly 11 to 26.

要 "充分利用 " "Z世代"的觀點(diǎn)。Z世代是一個(gè)營(yíng)銷術(shù)語(yǔ)，指的是目前年齡約為11-26歲的人。

The offer was made on behalf of the Yale Undergraduate Consulting Group, a student club with around 60 members.
這項(xiàng)提議是以耶魯大學(xué)本科生咨詢小組的名義提出的，咨詢小組是一個(gè)擁有約60名成員的學(xué)生俱樂(lè)部。

[Paragraph 2]

Postgraduate students have long provided paid services to corporate clients. But over the past decade or so, undergraduate “consulting clubs” have proliferated.

長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)，研究生一直為企業(yè)客戶提供有償服務(wù)。但在過(guò)去十年左右的時(shí)間里，本科生 "咨詢俱樂(lè)部 "激增。

The idea is to band together and offer to do work for firms for a fraction of the cost of hiring regular consultants, and in the process learn a lot about business.

理念是通過(guò)組建團(tuán)隊(duì)，以低于常規(guī)顧問(wèn)的成本為企業(yè)提供服務(wù)，并在此過(guò)程中學(xué)習(xí)一些商業(yè)知識(shí)。

Like real consultants, they pitch for clients, cold-calling or emailing.

像真正的顧問(wèn)一樣，他們?yōu)榭蛻暨M(jìn)行電話推銷或電子郵件推銷。

Some student clubs have a charitable bent: 180DC, a network of clubs founded in 2007 that has spread to scores of universities around the world, targets “social-impact organisations”.

一些學(xué)生俱樂(lè)部有慈善屬性：180DC是一個(gè)成立于2007年的俱樂(lè)部網(wǎng)絡(luò)，已經(jīng)擴(kuò)展到世界上其他幾十所大學(xué)，目標(biāo)是成為 "有社會(huì)影響力的組織"。

Others are more mercantile: Milan Singh, the sender of the Yale email, says the group he belongs to has also worked with several large companies, doing jobs like market research for fees.
另一些俱樂(lè)部則更加商業(yè)化：耶魯大學(xué)電子郵件的發(fā)件人米蘭·辛格說(shuō)，他所屬的團(tuán)體也與幾家大公司合作，從事市場(chǎng)調(diào)研等收費(fèi)業(yè)務(wù)。

[Paragraph 3]

Students quickly adopt the jargon of the industry they are aping, appointing themselves “project managers”, gathering information from “subject-matter experts” and, at the end, producing “deliverables” for clients: typically in the form of slide presentations.

學(xué)生們迅速學(xué)習(xí)并使用了行業(yè)話術(shù)，任命自己為 "項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理"，從 "領(lǐng)域?qū)＜?"那里獲取信息，最后為客戶提供“可交付成果”：通常是以幻燈片的形式。

Work is carried out under legally enforceable non-disclosure agreements. All this is done alongside normal studies.
學(xué)生是在具有法律效力的保密協(xié)議下進(jìn)行工作。所有這些工作都是在他們正常學(xué)習(xí)的同時(shí)完成的。

[Paragraph 4]

It consumes plenty of time. Alexandra Koullick, a 21-year-old member of a 180DC-affiliated club in Berkeley that was founded in 2016, says she puts in up to ten hours a week of unpaid work for her clients.

這需要大量的時(shí)間。21歲的亞歷山德拉·庫(kù)利克是伯克利大學(xué)180DC附屬俱樂(lè)部的成員，該俱樂(lè)部成立于2016年。她說(shuō)她每周為客戶無(wú)償工作達(dá)10小時(shí)之久。

Practical skills, like managing spreadsheets, are passed down by “bigs”, as in “big brothers”, to new members.
管理電子表格等實(shí)用技能由“大佬”（如“老大哥”）傳授給新成員。

[Paragraph 5]

Why devote a chunk of precious undergraduate years to this? The students defend it creditably.

為什么要把大量寶貴的本科時(shí)光投入其中？學(xué)生們的辯護(hù)很有說(shuō)服力。

Ms Koullick joined as a way to make friends at a time when a normal university experience was impossible because of covid-19”.It was a big family of folk to spend time with,” she says.

庫(kù)利克加入俱樂(lè)部是為了結(jié)交朋友，因?yàn)樵谝咔槠陂g，大家沒(méi)有正常的大學(xué)生活。“這是一個(gè)值得共度時(shí)光的大家庭，”她說(shuō)。

Mr Singh points out that the fees his group earns pay for great parties.

辛格說(shuō)，他團(tuán)隊(duì)所賺取的費(fèi)用可以用于舉辦盛大派對(duì)。

Both extol the benefits of being able to experiment with different types of work before they commit to a career.
兩人都談到在投身職業(yè)生涯之前能夠嘗試不同類型的工作，簡(jiǎn)直太棒了。

[Paragraph 6]

There are potential financial rewards, too. Clubs provide a fast track to well-paid jobs later.

此外還有可能獲得經(jīng)濟(jì)回報(bào)。俱樂(lè)部為未來(lái)獲得高薪工作提供了快速通道。

John Paul Rollert, an academic at the Booth Business School at the University of Chicago, notes that uninhibited ambition in America’s youth is not new: “These kids are going to make a fortune,” he says.
芝加哥大學(xué)布斯商學(xué)院的學(xué)者約翰·保羅·羅勒特指出，美國(guó)青年不羈的雄心壯志并非新鮮事：“這些孩子們將會(huì)賺大錢(qián)，”他說(shuō)。
