大家好！这周的“每周一段”选自 5 月 25 日最新一期《经济学人》Leaders 板块的 The great jobs boom 一文（https://www.economist.com/leaders/2019/05/23/the-rich-world-is-enjoying-an-unprecedented-jobs-boom），文章讲的是发达国家整体上都在经历就业繁荣期，失业率极低。
文本
Thanks to the jobs boom, unemployment, once the central issue of political economy, has all but disappeared from the political landscape in many countries. It has been replaced by a series of complaints about the quality and direction of work. These are less tangible and harder to judge than employment statistics. The most important are that automation is destroying opportunities and that work, though plentiful, is low-quality and precarious. “Our jobs market is being turned into a sea of insecurity,” says Jeremy Corbyn, leader of Britain’s Labour Party.
译文：
由于就业繁荣，失业这个曾经的政治经济中心问题，在许多国家几乎已经从政治舞台上消失了。 取而代之的是对工作质量和方向的一系列抱怨。与就业统计数据相比，这些指标更抽象，也更难判断。最重要的是，自动化正在破坏工作机会，工作虽然充足，但质量低下且不稳定。英国工党领袖杰里米•科尔宾(Jeremy Corbyn)表示：“我们的就业市场正变成一片不安全的海洋。”
段落赏析
全文共 13 段，选段为第 5 段。最具学习价值的是前两句话。当我们想要表达“某个问题从某某地方消失，取而代之的是某个新的问题”的时候，就可以直接套用前两句话里面的句式。 有几个语言点大家可以注意下：
1）jobs boom.
英文中名词可以做修饰语，很多时候是名词的单数形式做修饰语，比如 football coach, school teacher。不过有的名词的复数形式可以做修饰语，除了文中的 jobs boom 之外，常见的还有 admissions office, customs officer, teachers union, sports medicine。名词作修饰语用单数还是复数没有固定的规则，需要我们在阅读的时候积累。只要我们在正规的出版物中见过这样的用法，就可以使用。
Chicago Manual of Style 中有这么一句：
we often choose by ear and it doesn’t matter (employee lounge, employees lounge).
2）all but.
这个短语的意思是“几乎”（very nearly; almost）。它非常地道、常见，但中国学生能作为积极词汇使用的并不是很多。建议将这样的表达放在句子中背诵和临摹，便于占为己有。
3）political landscape. landscape（点击单词直接跳转）的这一用法我们在“每日一词”中学习过，大家可以正好复习一下。
句子学习
我们主要通过“临摹”的方式精学一段话。
临摹：
提炼句型+造句
临摹句子：
Thanks to the jobs boom, unemployment, once the central issue of political economy, has all but disappeared from the political landscape in many countries. It has been replaced by a series of complaints about the quality and direction of work.
提炼出句型：
Thanks to X, Y, once the central issue of Z, has all but disappeared (from W). It has been replaced by V.（第一句中的 political economy 和 political landscape 是同义表达，因此“from the political landscape”也可以去掉，这样仿写起来会更容易一些）
造句示范：
a) Thanks to the introduction of training programs, labor productivity, once the central issue of the manufacturing sector, has all but disappeared from the business landscape in this Asian country. It has been replaced by a series of complaints about the shortage and rising costs of the workforce.
b) Thanks to the economic growth, malnutrition, once the central issue of public health, has all but disappeared in many countries. It has been replaced by a series of complaints about the quality and tatse of food.
