越來越多的中國學生選擇赴亞洲國家留學

Some of China's regional neighbors are becoming popular choices for Chinese choosing to study abroad, according to a survey.

根據一項調查顯示，一些亞洲鄰國正成爲選擇留學的中國學生的熱門選擇。

Asian countries, including Singapore and Japan, are attracting more Chinese planning to study overseas, according to the "White Paper on Chinese Studying Abroad in 2016" released by Vision Overseas, a company under New Oriental Education & Technology Group.

新東方教育科技集團旗下的前途出國公司近日發佈的《2016中國留學白皮書》顯示，新加坡、日本等亞洲國家正吸引着更多計劃留學的中國學生。

The survey questioned nearly 3,000 Chinese students planning to study overseas and found fewer were willing to study in the US, the UK, Australia and Canada when compared with 2015. The proportion of those showing an interest in countries such as Singapore and Japan is rising.

這項調查共詢問了大約3000名計劃出國留學的中國學生，結果顯示，相比2015年，申請赴美國、英國、澳大利亞和加拿大留學的學生減少。而對赴新加坡、日本等國留學有興趣的學生比例在提升。

Guo Xiaojuan, director of Vision Overseas' European and Asian Division, said the fact that the two Asian countries have become more popular with Chinese students is due to their strengthened quality of education and booming tourism industries.

前途出國公司歐亞留學規劃總監郭曉娟表示，現實情況是，由於當地教育的質量和蓬勃發展的旅遊業，上述兩個亞洲國家在中國學生羣體中更受歡迎，

"The education systems in the two countries are quite open and well developed. Many of their universities are also rated highly in the latest world university rankings," Guo said.

郭曉娟說道：“新加坡和日本的教育體系相當開放，也很發達。而這兩個國家的許多大學也在最新世界大學排名中評價甚高。”

The survey also found that choosing the right major is the top consideration for Chinese students and their parents when selecting an overseas educational institution.

此外，該項調查還發現，中國學生和家長在選擇留學院校時考慮的首要因素是“適合的專業”。

The ranking of the institution is the second most important factor they consider, while a year ago, institutions' rankings were the main concern.

而他們認爲“學校排名”這一因素是第二重要的，可是在一年以前，“學校排名”還是他們最關注的問題。
