A recent report says college students' physical fitness is lamentable. Experts warn a growingtrend of staying in dorms, unhealthy diets and lack of exercise.
最新一項(xiàng)報(bào)告顯示,大學(xué)生身體素質(zhì)令人擔(dān)憂。專(zhuān)家提醒,宅在宿舍,不良飲食和缺乏運(yùn)動(dòng)的學(xué)生人數(shù)呈日益增長(zhǎng)趨勢(shì)。

A recent audit at Dickinson State University in the United States will have madeuncomfortable reading for parents in China.
對(duì)于中國(guó)學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)們來(lái)說(shuō),一份于近日公布的針對(duì)美國(guó)狄克森州立大學(xué)的審查報(bào)告將令他們感到不安。
Over the last four years, the college in North Dakota had issued diplomas to 400 foreignstudents despite their failure to complete the required coursework.
過(guò)去四年中,這所位于美國(guó)北達(dá)科他州的學(xué)府中,有400名留學(xué)生在未能完成必修課程的條件,卻仍然拿到了大學(xué)文憑。
Roughly 95 percent of these students were Chinese.
其中,大約有95%為中國(guó)留學(xué)生。
It was just one of several controls "waived or intentionally overridden or ignored" by DSU, which has again cast a spotlight on the risks families face in paying out huge sums to havetheir children educated overseas.
這僅僅是狄克森州立大學(xué)在管理監(jiān)督方面的漏洞之一,對(duì)于這些漏洞,該校“或置之不理,放任自流,或有意掩飾”。這一事件,也使人們關(guān)注的目光再次投向那些支付高昂費(fèi)用送子女留學(xué)的家庭所面臨的種種風(fēng)險(xiǎn)之上。
Such investments often create what sociologists call "the new urban poor".
此類(lèi)的留學(xué)投資通常都會(huì)導(dǎo)致社會(huì)學(xué)家口中所謂的“新城市貧民”的產(chǎn)生。
"Parents are surrendering their last resources to wager them on a child's future by sendingthem abroad," said Lao Kaisheng, an education policy researcher at Capital Normal University. "If these children don't get the decent jobs and the salary that is expected, their parents willnaturally be sucked into poverty."
首都師范大學(xué)教育政策研究員勞凱聲表示:“家長(zhǎng)花光所有積蓄送子女出國(guó)是在拿錢(qián)賭孩子的明天。如果孩子們找不到體面的工作、沒(méi)有預(yù)期的收入,那么家長(zhǎng)自然就身陷貧困。”
The desire to send offspring to schools overseas has existed for decades, although today it islargely fueled by the belief that it gives youngsters an advantage in the tough domesticemployment market.
這種父母迫切想要送子女出國(guó)深造的情況已存在了幾十年的時(shí)間了,只不過(guò)如今,家長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為出國(guó)留學(xué)能讓孩子在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的國(guó)內(nèi)就業(yè)市場(chǎng)占據(jù)優(yōu)勢(shì),因此,這種想法就愈演愈烈了。
However, not many Chinese families have enough saved in the bank to cover the tuition feesand accommodation and living expenses. Instead, many are choosing to take on massivedebt at a critical time in their own life.
然而,只有少數(shù)的中國(guó)家庭有足夠的積蓄來(lái)支付學(xué)費(fèi)、住宿費(fèi)及生活費(fèi)。很多家長(zhǎng)會(huì)選擇在自己人生的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻背負(fù)高額債務(wù)。
It is a gamble, experts say, and the stakes are high.
專(zhuān)家稱(chēng),這就是一場(chǎng)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)很高的賭博。
"People need to think over the input and potential output, as well as the risks that anyinvestment brings," said Zhang Jianbai, who runs a private school in Yunnan province.
云南一所私立學(xué)校校長(zhǎng)張健柏(音譯)表示:“人們需要企業(yè)仔細(xì)考慮資金投入、潛在回報(bào)以及這項(xiàng)投資所帶來(lái)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。”
He said that parents in small cities across his southwestern province, many of whom earn just 2,000 yuan a month, often sell their apartments to fund their children's study overseas.
他說(shuō),在云南西南部的很多小城市里,很多月收入只有2000元的家長(zhǎng)通常會(huì)選擇賣(mài)掉房子來(lái)資助子女出國(guó)留學(xué)。
"Those who are now suffering trouble or financial difficulties would not have been in this positionhad they chosen a more suitable way to educate their children," he added.
他還表示:“如果這些家長(zhǎng)能夠選擇一種更恰當(dāng)?shù)姆绞絹?lái)教育子女,那么他們就不會(huì)像現(xiàn)在這樣陷入遭遇困境,遭遇經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)。”
