The growing tendency among college students to get all kinds of certificates has now evolved into a craze. Just randomly ask a student what he or she is busily engaged in doing, quite possibly, you would get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. So, whys the craze? The reason behind this phenomenon is common the enormous pressure of finding a job. Faced with a harsh job market, most students have no choice but to seek more certificates to parlay their qualifications. Another factor is that diploma and certificates still weighs heavily in terms of signifying ones ability. For the sake of increasing their odds of landing a better job, the students are compelled to run from one exam to another. Though I have an open mind toward the craze on certificates, I suggest that students should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since they do not necessarily tell their ability. Instead, they should be more involved in learning and capability boosting, thus, opportunities would come quite naturally.
在大学生中，越来越倾向于各种各样的证书，现在已经演变成了一种狂热。随便问一个学生他或她正忙着做，很可能，你会得到答案，他或她是某种形式的证书做准备。那么，为什么是热？这一现象背后的原因是共同的找工作的巨大压力。面对严酷的就业市场，大多数学生不得不寻求更多的证书来表现他们的资格。另一个因素是，文凭和证书仍然沉重地压在这一方面的能力。为了增加他们的工作机会，学生被迫从一个考试中运行。虽然我有一个开放的心态对这一热潮的证书，我认为，学生应该更加理性，当谈到证书，因为他们不一定告诉他们的能力。相反，他们应该更多地参与学习和能力的提升，这样，机会就会自然而然地到来。
