on the shortlist
在短的名单上?如何理解?
某人/某物已经通过了筛选更有可能获得一个职位/奖项
举个例子,我们现在开一家公司,打算招聘1位英语老师,那么过了一周,一共50个人投来简历,HR先做了初轮筛选,选出了10个,打算在这10位中选1个优秀的。
那么这个10个人的list名单其实就是shortlist
看看shortlist的英文解释:
a list of people who have been judged the most suitable for a job or prize, made from a longer list of people originally considered, and from which one person will be chosen
eg: She's on the shortlist for the teaching post.
她已经通过了这个教学岗位的筛选,将很有可能获得这个职位。
eg: We've drawn up a shortlist for the job.
我们已经筛选出了几个更合适的人选。
其实也有shortlist当动词的用法
shortlist sb./sth. (for sth.)
意思就是:to put sb./sth. on a shortlist for a job, prize, etc.
让某个人/某物有更大的获奖、获得工作的机会;
eg: His latest novel has been shortlisted for the prize.
他最新这部小说将很有可能拿到这个奖。
eg: Candidates who are shortlisted for interview will be contacted by the end of the week.
这周末之前,我们将会一一联系通过我们初步筛选的应聘者,通知他们来面试。
