热门单词：“国考”用英文怎么说？

 　　2016年国考报名已经过半，截至昨日17时，通过审核人数达46万余人，较前日的报名人数多出了13万余，迎来报名小高峰。其中，中央职位报考率已达98%，仅有2%的职位零报名。而县(区)级及以下职位有6%零报名，为目前零报名最多的层级。

　　请看相关报道：

　　The number of candidates for the 2016 national civil service exam has surpassed last year's numbers, with more than 132,000 applicants² on Tuesday－the most in a single day－deemed qualified³ for the exam.

　　2016年国考报名人数已超过去年，20日的通过审核人数超过13.2万人，创单日新高。

　　国考

　　The most sought-after job as of Tuesday remained a position offered by the China Employment Training Technical Instruction Center in Beijing, which had drawn⁴ 1,430 applicants.

　　截止20日，最热门职位来自中国就业培训技术指导中心的一个岗位，吸引了1430位报名者。

　　However, another 876 jobs being offered have not registered a single applicant¹ as of Tuesday.

　　同时，尚有876个职位无人报名。

　　又是一年国考（national civil service exam）时，虽然近两年屡屡有报道说国考在降温（losing its appeal），但是不少中央职位（jobs offered by central government departments and subsidiaries）仍然倍受青睐。最热门职位（the most sought-after job）的竞争比例依然超过1000:1，而冷门职位（the least sought-after job）则无人问津，这一类职位多数是县(区)级及以下职位（jobs at or below the county or district level）。

　　国考的笔试阶段分为行政能力测试（administrative professional ability test）和申论（argumentative essay writing）两部分。通过笔试者，才有资格参加之后的面试。
