dim中等

The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist at Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.

哥伦比亚大学经济学家蒂尔·冯·瓦赫特的研究表明，并非所有在衰退期毕业的人都会人生机遇黯淡：拥有名校学位的人能相当快地追赶上来，达到他们在经济较好时期毕业本应达到的水平；被甩在后面的是他们之下的普通大众。

see their life chances as dimmed as the others’.
