這里是美國之音慢速英語教育報道。

Students from China have a long history of coming to the United States for education. And this month, American educators expect high schools across the U.S. to enroll more Chinese students than ever.
中國學生留學美國有著悠久的歷史。本月，美國教育者們預(yù)計美國各地的高中招收的中國學生人數(shù)會超過以往任何時候。

17-year-old, Grace Liu is one of about 30,000 Chinese citizens at American high schools. She grew up in Tianjin, a city of 14 million people on China's east coast. This fall, she is starting her third year of high school in the Southeastern United States.
17歲的格蕾絲?劉（Grace Liu）是在美國高中就讀的3萬名中國公民之一。她在天津長大，這是中國東部沿海一個有著1400萬人口的城市。今年秋天，她將在美國東南部開始高三學業(yè)。

Grace attends Rabun Gap Nacoochee school in Rabun Gap, a small community in the State of Georgia. She sounds very happy with her surroundings.
格蕾絲就讀于羅本蓋普市的羅本蓋普-娜庫奇中學，這是佐治亞州的一個小社區(qū)。聽上去她對周邊環(huán)境感覺非常滿意。

"The people here are really nice, and we say ‘hi' to each other, even though we don't know each other. The people here help me a lot, and the environment here is really good," said Liu.
“這里的人都很和善，雖然我們互相不認識也會彼此打招呼。這里的人幫了我很多，這里的環(huán)境也很好?！?/span>

Anthony Sgro heads the Rabun Gap School. He says Chinese applications or requests to attend the school have risen sharply.
安東尼?斯高（Anthony Sgro）負責羅本蓋普中學。他說，中國人的入學申請數(shù)量已經(jīng)大幅上漲。

"First couple of students came to the United States in 1980s. And they have come in significantly, significantly great numbers in the last 15 years," said Sgro.
“頭幾個學生于上世紀80年代來到美國。而在過去15年里來美國的中國學生數(shù)量非常多?！?/span>

Many of the students are from China's growing middle class, they want a good education and an advantage -- a better chance to complete for places in America's most respected universities.
許多學生都來自于中國不斷壯大的中產(chǎn)階級。他們希望孩子能獲得良好教育以及競爭美國頂尖大學入學名額的優(yōu)勢。

Attending schools outside China also means an escape from the intense competition at schools inside China. Memorization by rote is common there. This method of learning through memory exercises uses up a lot of time. It can keep students from taking part in sports or interest groups.
就讀中國境外的學校還意味著逃離中國境內(nèi)學校的激烈競爭。在中國死記硬背非常普遍。這種通過記憶的學習方法浪費了大量時間，使得學生們無法參加體育活動或興趣組織。

In addition, Chinese students in the U.S. do not face the Chinese examination Gaokao. It is designed to measure a student's ability to do college work. Many students in their home country worry about this difficult test.
此外，在美國的中國學生無需面對中國的高考。高考被用于衡量學生到大學就讀的能力。許多本國學生都為這種難度很大的考試犯愁。

Anthony Sgro says some of Rabun citizens have expressed displeasure about the young Chinese arrivals.
斯高表示，一些羅本市民對這些中國年輕人的到來紛紛表示不滿。

"That was the argument when the Chinese started coming in large numbers. ‘Why are we educating our enemies?' And my response to people around this is the world in which we grew up in is very different from the world these students are growing up in today," said Sgro.
“中國人開始大量涌現(xiàn)時出現(xiàn)了一些爭論?！覀?yōu)槭裁匆囵B(yǎng)我們的對手？’我對這些人的回答是，我們成長的那個世界和如今這些學生成長的這個世界已經(jīng)大不相同?！?/span>

Mr. Sgro says his students see stories about China when they open a newspaper or watch television news. He says they also will know five students from that country. 17-year-old, Yvette Yang, says she and her Chinese classmates are part of a new future.
斯高表示，他的學生打開報紙或看電視新聞時就會看到中國的新聞。他說，他們會認識來自那個國家的5個學生。17歲的伊薇特?楊(Yvette Yang)表示，她和她來自中國的同學是全新未來的一部分。

The number of international students attending university in the United States is also reaching record numbers. 800,000 foreign students were studying at American colleges in 2012.
到美國上大學的國際學生數(shù)量也創(chuàng)下新高。2012年有80萬名外國學生在美國上大學。
