                   省词译法指的是把原文中需要而译文中不需要的单词、词组等在翻译过程中加以省略。这种省略一般是出于译文中语义或修辞、语法或习惯表达法的需要。但省略并不是把原文的某些思想内容删除,而应视以下两种情况而定。
                   1. 为了译文中语义或修辞方面的需要而省略。删除重复、多余的单词、词组或短语等。 
                    2. 为了译文语法或习惯表达法的需要。汉语重意合(parataxis),英语重形合(hypotaxis),英译汉时,译文中可省略不必要的代词、冠词、介词、连接词等。

                    · University applicants 
                    who had worked at a job would receive preference over those
