特朗普限制性的移民政策正在让很多移民企业家离开美国。其实美国很多优秀的企业家都是移民。特斯拉的老总马斯克也是移民.从南非到加拿大再到美国。所以特朗普这种政策受到了很多人的反对，但是同时也受到很多人的支持，因为本地人更希望保护自己的利益，所以任何问题都是有两面性的。

第一句：
The humanities’ supposed lack of obvious vocational pathways is in fact a strength in an economy where flexibility and entrepreneurship are prized, while the perception of lower employability is not borne out by facts – 88% of Shape(social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy) graduates were employed in 2017 (compared with 89% for Stem).
参考译文：实际上，在一个重视灵活性和企业家精神的经济中，人文学科缺乏明显的职业前景实际上是一大优势，而且认为人文学科就业率低的看法并没得到事实的支持――2017年，Shape学科（社科、人文、艺术与经济）毕业生的就业率是88%（Stem学科是89％）。
第二句：
Shape subjects will also be central to answering the most urgent questions we face; science, for instance, is foundational to comprehending the climate emergency, but will not affect the political and behavioural changes needed to achieve net zero.
参考译文：Shape学科对于回答我们面临的最紧迫的问题也至关重要。例如，科学是理解环境危机的基础，但却不能影响实现净零排放所需的政治和行为变化。
