A recent audit at Dickinson State University in the United States will have made uncomfortable reading for parents in China.

　　对于中国学生家长们来说，一份于近日公布的针对美国狄克森州立大学的审查报告将令他们感到不安。

　　Over the last four years, the college in North Dakota had issued diplomas to 400 foreign students despite their failure to complete the required coursework.

　　过去四年中，这所位于美国北达科他州的学府中，有400名留学生在未能完成必修课程的条件，却仍然拿到了大学文凭。

　　Roughly 95 percent of these students were Chinese.

　　其中，大约有95%为中国留学生。

　　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 have their children educated overseas.

　　这仅仅是狄克森州立大学在管理监督方面的漏洞之一，对于这些漏洞，该校“或置之不理，放任自流，或有意掩饰”。这一事件，也使人们关注的目光再次投向那些支付高昂费用送子女留学的家庭所面临的种种风险之上。

　　Such investments often create what sociologists call “the new urban poor”.

　　此类的留学投资通常都会导致社会学家口中所谓的“新城市贫民”的产生。

　　"Parents are surrendering their last resources to wager them on a child`s future by sending them 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 will naturally be sucked into poverty."

　　首都师范大学教育政策研究员劳凯声表示：“家长花光所有积蓄送子女出国是在拿钱赌孩子的明天。如果孩子们找不到体面的工作、没有预期的收入，那么家长自然就身陷贫困。”
