出國留學對許多國人來說仍是一大可靠投資
Statistics show that last year, most Chinese students studying abroad who finished their studies chose to return home to pursue their career goals.
根據數據顯示，去年大多數在國外留學的中國留學生在畢業後都選擇回國發展事業。The backflow of overseas students, on the one hand, should be able to contribute more intellectual resources to China. On the other hand, it also indicates that against the backdrop of globalization and industrialization of higher education, students who pursue overseas education are no longer rare. They too have to take part in the tight competition for jobs and some have lost their elite status in the eyes of many.
這種留學生的迴流一方面可以爲我國帶來更多的人才資源，而另一方面也說明，在全球化和高等教育產業化的大背景下，留學生也不再是鳳毛麟角。他們也不得不加入到激烈的工作競爭中，甚至在許多人看來，他們已經不再是精英的象徵。In 2007, among all Chinese students who studied abroad (over 144,000), about 44,000 returned home after they finished their studies. However, at least 400,000 of the about 523,700 overseas students who graduated by 2015 have returned to China.
在2007年，中國留學生人數超過144000人，而只有44000人在完成學業後回國。然而到2015年，在523700中國留學生中，至少400000名畢業後回到中國。
The fact that not all Chinese graduates can guarantee a decent job does not necessarily mean overseas higher education is not worth pursuing.
所有的中國留學生並不是都可以找到體面的工作，但這並不絕對意味着出國留學深造是不值得的。Many Chinese students are still inclined to apply for overseas universities for further education, because they believe that studying abroad is a worthwhile investment that will benefit them greatly in the near future.
許多中國學生認爲出國留學是有價值的投資，在不久的未來會有很大的幫助，所以很多學生仍然傾向於選擇國外的大學深造。Apart from the unbalanced allocation of quality educational resources, students' higher expectations of college education as a springboard for their future have also fueled the studying-abroad fervor in the country. They pursue not only good jobs and decent salaries after graduation, but also opportunities to improve their English and way of thinking, as well as expanding their academic horizons while in college.
造成中國留學熱的原因除了中國的素質教育資源分佈不均之外，還有學生們對上大學抱有很高的期望，他們認爲這是他們未來的“跳板”。他們不僅追求在畢業後擁有好工作，高薪酬，還希望追求可以提高英語、改變思維方式的機會，同時在大學期間擴寬學術視野。In this sense, overseas education's attraction to Chinese students should prompt the country to make concrete efforts to expedite education reform.
從這個意義上講，留學對於中國學生的吸引應該促使中國努力加快教育改革。
