The number of newly arriving international students declined an average 7 percent in fall , with 45 percent of campuses reporting drops in new international enrollment, according to a survey of nearly 500 campuses across the country by the Institute of International Education.

  根據(jù)美國(guó)國(guó)際教育協(xié)會(huì)對(duì)全美近500所高校的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，2018年秋季新入學(xué)的國(guó)際學(xué)生數(shù)量減少了7%，有45%的高校報(bào)告稱(chēng)新入學(xué)的國(guó)際學(xué)生數(shù)量出現(xiàn)下降。
  Experts cited an uncertain social and political climate in the United States as part of the reason for the decline in enrollment.
  專(zhuān)家提出，美國(guó)社會(huì)和政治環(huán)境的不確定性，是入學(xué)人數(shù)下降的原因之一。
  "It's a mix of factors," said Rajika Bhandari, head of research for the institute. "Concerns around the travel ban had a lot to do with concerns around personal safety based on a few incidents involving international students, and a generalized concern about whether they're safe."
  該協(xié)會(huì)的研究負(fù)責(zé)人拉吉卡·班達(dá)里表示：“這是多種因素的結(jié)合。由于發(fā)生了幾起涉及國(guó)際學(xué)生的事件，人們對(duì)旅行禁令的擔(dān)憂很大程度上是對(duì)人身安全的擔(dān)憂，也有對(duì)自己是否安全的一種普遍擔(dān)憂。”
  Another reason for the decline is increasing competition from countries like Canada, Britain and Australia, said Allan E. Goodman, president of the institute.
  協(xié)會(huì)主席艾倫.E.古德曼稱(chēng)，該數(shù)據(jù)下滑的另一個(gè)原因，是來(lái)自加拿大、英國(guó)、澳大利亞的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)在不斷加強(qiáng)。
  The drop in new students signals potential financial difficulties for some small universities that have come to rely on money from foreign students, who provide an infusion of $39 billion into the United States economy each year.
  新入學(xué)學(xué)生的下降，預(yù)示著一些依靠外國(guó)學(xué)生、規(guī)模不大的高校有可能出現(xiàn)財(cái)政困難。外國(guó)學(xué)生每年可以為美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)貢獻(xiàn)390億美元。
  Particularly hard hit are campuses in the Midwest, according to the institute.
  據(jù)該機(jī)構(gòu)透露，中西部的高校受到的打擊尤其嚴(yán)重。
  At the University of Iowa, overall international enrollment this fall was 3,564, down from 4,100 in 2019.
  今年秋季，艾奧瓦大學(xué)的國(guó)際學(xué)生入學(xué)總數(shù)從2019年的4100人下降到了3564人。
  Downing Thomas, the university's dean of international programs, said that some other schools in the Big Ten are also experiencing declines, and none are seeing the rapid increases of the recent past.
  艾奧瓦大學(xué)國(guó)際項(xiàng)目主任唐寧·托馬斯表示，十大聯(lián)盟中的其他高校也遭遇了人數(shù)下降，沒(méi)有一所學(xué)校還有不久前的那種快速增長(zhǎng)。
  While Iowa primarily lost Chinese students, the University of Central Missouri experienced a sharp decline this year in students from India, said Mike Godard, vice provost for enrollment management.
  艾奧瓦大學(xué)減少的主要是中國(guó)學(xué)生，而中密蘇里大學(xué)負(fù)責(zé)招生工作的副教務(wù)長(zhǎng)麥克·戈達(dá)德則表示，該校今年的印度學(xué)生數(shù)量驟降。
  In the fall of 2019, the Warrensburg, Mo., university had 2,638 international students. This fall it has 944.
  2019年秋季，中密蘇里大學(xué)共有2638名國(guó)際學(xué)生。而今年秋季只有944名。
