調(diào)查顯示，去美國讀本科的中國學(xué)生相比于去年增長了百分之四十三，不僅中國學(xué)生增加了，美國學(xué)校的國際學(xué)生也日益增加。申請美國本科的競爭將越來越激烈。一起來看看這些數(shù)據(jù)吧。
    Chinese students enroll in record numbers at U.S. colleges
    The number of Chinese undergraduates on U.S. campuses in the last school year increased 43 percent from the previous year, according to the annual Institute of International Education Open Doors report that was released today.
    ??????? 一項(xiàng)報告顯示，在美國大學(xué)里讀本科的中國學(xué)生比前年增加了百分之四十三。
    Chinese undergraduates, like most international students, are highly attractive to universities: They are usually well-educated and well-traveled, bringing a global point-of-view and sophistication to campuses. Their helicopter parents are on the other side of the world. And they hardly ever tap university resources to fund their education.
    去美國讀本科的中國學(xué)生，就像大多數(shù)的國際學(xué)生一樣，對于美國大學(xué)是非常有吸引力的。他們一般受過良好的教育并且有豐富的旅行經(jīng)驗(yàn)，給美國大學(xué)帶來了國際化的視點(diǎn)，使美國學(xué)校更加多元化。中國學(xué)生的直升機(jī)父母(是美國媒體用來形容過度焦慮和寵愛孩子的父母)遠(yuǎn)隔大洋彼岸，他們自己很少有效利用大學(xué)的資源來加強(qiáng)自己的教育。
    (In fact, some universities became so zealous in their recruitment of international students that they hired commercial recruiting agents who charged hefty fees, Bloomberg reported in May.)
    ?????? 實(shí)際上，一些大學(xué)在招國際學(xué)生的時候非常熱心，以至于他們雇傭收費(fèi)超高的商業(yè)招聘機(jī)構(gòu)。
    At the beginning of this school year, I tagged along with a group ofChinese students traveling from Dulles International Airport to the University of Virginia. In the last decade, U-Va. has seen its international student population increase 44 percent, with China being the most popular country of origin.????
    ???????在過去的十年間，弗吉尼亞大學(xué)的國際學(xué)生增長了百分之四十四，中國學(xué)生成為最受歡迎的生源。
    With that influx, it becomes easy for international students to just hang out with each other and speak their native language. At U-Va. I heard many gentle reminders for students to get out of their comfort zones and meet American students.
    ?????? 由于國際學(xué)生的大量涌入，他們往往和自己國家的朋友呆在一起，講本國語言。
    Some other numbers from the Open Doors report:
    723,277: The total number of international students in the United States last school year. That’s a 4.7-percent increase from the previous year when there were 690,923 international students.

    8,615: The number of international students at the University of Southern California, the most popular host school last year.
