出國留學熱

You：These days more and more students choose to study abroad. What do you think of this trend?現在越來越多的學生選擇出國留學。你對這種趨勢怎么看?

David：Many students want to learn more about western culture and business. This has been increasingly important after China entered the WTO. However, some students want to study abroad in order to move there.許多學生想要了解西方的文化和商業經濟。中國加入WTO以后，這變得尤為重要了。然而，也有一些學生想要移民出去。

You：留學生回中國的比例是多少?

David：I personally don’t know. It depends. If they get accustomed to the country, they stay. 我不太清楚，視情況而定。如果他們適應了新的生活，就會留下來。

You：I have seen movies about Chinese people who live abroad. They might be happy at times but as time goes by they might find living in a different culture very difficult. They might also find that they aren’t treated as equals. 我看過一些描寫在國外生活的中國人的電影。開始時他們可能覺得挺開心，但隨著時間的推移，他們會覺得在一個不同文化的國家生活非常困難，或感覺受到不平等待遇。

David：They don’t have confidence?是他們對自己沒有信心嗎?

You：Is the problem their confidence or their nationality? In order to get a green card some people will work hard and pour their heart and soul into this endeavor. When they get the green card, however, they might discover that there are some problems with other people. Some people discriminate against them because they are Asian.問題出在他們的信心還是他們的國籍呢?為了拿到綠卡，一些人不惜一切代價地拼命工作。然而當他們拿到了綠卡，他們可能發現真正的問題在于一些人因為他們是亞洲人而歧視他們。

David：Two things make it difficult to live abroad. One thing is that it may be illegal to work there and the other thing is that some people may prefer hiring people from their own country rather than foreigners. It’s different here in China. Foreigners are more welcomed here.完全不合法的艱苦工作和工作機會的不平等(一些人喜歡雇傭自己國家的人工作)使得中國人在國外生活非常艱難，而在中國就不一樣了，外賓是很受歡迎的。
