“人才流失”怎么说

分类: 趣味英语 

有调查显示,国内40%优秀人才都流向了跨国公司,这不能不说是国内研发机构一大损失。不过,虽然跨国公司在华机构“挖”了中国本土企业人才资源的“墙角”,但从长远来讲,这有利于减少中国人才流失海外。

请看新华网相关报道:Multinationals in China have helped slow China's brain drain, although they posed great challenges to local companies and research institutes, said a Chinese expert Friday.

A survey indicated that more and more local talents in China flowed to multinationals since multinationals are mostly engaged in cutting-edge hi-tech researches and offer high salaries.

报道中的“brain drain”指的是“人才因向有利的职业环境流动而引起(欠发达地区)的智囊枯竭”,即我们常说的“人才流失”。

“Brain”在此代指“高智商人才”,“drain”原意指“枯竭、干涸”,短语“brain drain”形象表达了本土人才外流后的尴尬处境。

与“brain drain”(人才外流)相对应的是brain gain(人才引进)。此外,仿拟“brain drain”,“brown drain”常用来喻指“劳工外流”。
