銆€銆€In the last decade, mainland Chinese have reshaped the international student body at U.S. colleges and universities, notably at Ivy League institutions. In the 2009-2010 academic year, China surpassed traditional "study abroad" heavyweights like Canada, India and South Korea, to lead international enrollment across U.S. higher education, according to the Institute of International Education. The U.S.-based institute's most recent figures reveal that mainland Chinese students increased 23% to more than 723,000 in the 2010-11 academic year.杩囧幓鐨勫崄骞达紝澶ч檰瀛︾敓閲嶅浜嗙編鍥藉ぇ瀛︽満鏋勭殑瀛︾敓姣斾緥锛屽挨鍏舵槸甯搁潚钘ゅ悕鏍¤仈鐩熴€傜編鍥藉浗闄呮暀鑲茬爺绌舵墍鎸囧嚭锛?009-2010瀛﹀勾锛屼腑鍥界暀瀛︾敓鏁伴噺瓒呰繃浜嗕紶缁熺殑瀵圭編瀛︾敓杈撳嚭澶у浗锛屽鍔犳嬁澶с€佸嵃搴﹀拰闊╁浗锛屽湪鍏ㄧ編楂樼瓑鏁欒偛鍥介檯瀛︾敓涓仴閬ラ鍏堛€傝鐮旂┒鎵€鏈€鏂版暟鎹樉绀猴紝澶ч檰瀛︾敓鍦?010-2011瀛﹀勾鏁伴噺宸叉定鑷?23,000浜猴紝澧炲箙楂樿揪23%銆?/p>

銆€銆€While Chinese students traditionally went abroad when they failed to secure a place at a top-tier local university, the best students are now forgoing elite Chinese universities to study in the United States, according to Lin, now academic director of Ivy Labs Education, an admissions consultancy in Beijing.鏋楄锛屾浘缁忎腑鍥藉鐢熷嚭鍥芥槸鍥犱负娌¤兘澶熻€冧笂娓呭崕鍖楀ぇ锛岀幇鍦ㄦ渶濂界殑瀛︾敓涔熶笉鐣欐亱鍖楀ぇ娓呭崕浜嗭紝浠栦滑鏇存兂鍘荤編鍥借涔︺€傛灄鐜板湪鏄寳浜竴瀹跺嚭鍥藉挩璇㈠叕鍙稿父闈掕棨瀹為獙鏁欒偛鐨勫鏈€荤洃銆?/p>

銆€銆€China's economic reforms and "opening-up" that began in 1978 under Deng Xiaoping gave rise to the first major generation of students, who were generally reliant on scholarships to study in the United States, according to Chen Shuangye, an assistant professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Department of Educational Administration and Policy.棣欐腐涓枃澶у鏁欒偛琛屾斂涓庢斂绛栧绯诲姪鐞嗘暀鎺堥檲闇滃彾鑰佸笀鎸囧嚭锛?978骞寸殑鏀归潻寮€鏀炬斂绛栫紨閫犱簡鏂颁竴浠ｇ殑瀛︾敓锛岄偅涓€浠ｇ殑璧寸編鐣欏鐢熶富瑕佷緷闈犵殑鏄瀛﹂噾銆?/p>

銆€銆€Coinciding with China's rapid economic growth, a distinctive second generation emerged in the mid-1990s comprising much more affluent students, Chen said.

銆€銆€The factors driving mainland Chinese to study in the United States come into play much earlier, Lin said, noting an influx of foreign Chinese students into private U.S. secondary schools, starting around 2005.“褰卞搷涓浗瀛︾敓璧寸編鐨勫洜绱犲湪澶у涔嬪墠灏辫捣浣滅敤浜嗭紝”鏋楄锛?ldquo;浠?005骞磋捣锛屼腑鍥借荡缇庡浗绉佺珛楂樹腑鐣欏鐨勫鐢熷嚭鐜板ぇ骞呭鍔犮€?rdquo;

銆€銆€Chinese parents send their children to private U.S. high schools as a "strategic decision" to strengthen their candidacy for elite U.S. universities, Lin said. A growing number also want their children to lead happier lives rather than have them consumed by preparing for the "gaokao" in China -- the one-time, high-stakes national university entrance examination that is the sole determinant of admission.“涓浗瀹堕暱灏嗗氨璇荤編鍥界绔嬮珮涓綋鍋氭槸鏁插紑缇庡浗椤跺皷澶у鐨勫彥闂ㄧ爾銆?ldquo;浠栬锛?rdquo;鍚屾椂瓒婃潵瓒婂鐨勪汉甯屾湜鑷繁鐨勫瀛愯兘澶熻繃涓婃洿蹇箰鐨勭敓娲伙紝鑰屼笉鏄閭ｄ竴娆℃€ч珮椋庨櫓鐨勯珮鑰冭箟璺庢椂鍏夛紝鏄惁閫氳繃楂樿€冩槸鍐冲畾涓浗瀛︾敓鏄惁鑳借繘鍏ュぇ瀛︾殑鍞竴鍥犵礌銆?rdquo;锘匡豢
