Over the weekend, 30 Japanese universities took partin the International Education Expo in Beijing. ROK,meanwhile, expects an influx of Chinese students,thanks to new exchanges between the two countries.
上周末,30所日本大學參加了北京國際教育展。同時,由于中韓兩國的進一步交流,預計韓國也將迎來大批的中國留學生。
Official figures show that in 2008 Chinese accountedfor more than 60 percent of the foreign students inROK and over 70 percent of those in Japan.
官方數據顯示,2008年在韓留學生中,中國留學生所占的比例已經超過60%;在日本,這一比例高于70%。
While Chinese have many things in common with students in these two countries, they stillencounter surprises every now and then. We explored some of these differences in interviewswith people from all three countries:
盡管中國學生與日韓學生有著許多共同之處,但還是不時有意外狀況發生。通過采訪,我們發現三個國家間確有一些不同之處:
Seniors get respect 學長受尊敬
Remember young people nodding at their elders and giving way to them on campuses inJapanese and Korean TV dramas? Well, that's no exaggeration.
還記得出現在日韓電視劇中的這一幕嗎?校園里,低年級的學生向高年級的學長們點頭問好并主動給他們讓路。其實,那些都不是虛構的情節。
"We always respect elders for both their age and experience," said Hirotake Kobayashi, a 22-year-old student at Kyushu University in Japan.
來自日本九州大學,22歲的小林裕武說:“作為我們的長輩并且擁有豐富的閱歷,我們理應尊敬他們。”
This still surprises Chinese newcomers. Liu described one time when Japanese undergradsinvited him, a grad student, to dinner: "They stood to the side although I asked them to sitdown. They kept bowing when speaking to me."
但這仍使那些剛剛步入校園的中國新生感到驚奇。小劉說起他有一次應幾個日本在校生的邀請去吃晚飯,他回憶到“盡管我讓他們不必站起來,但是他們仍堅持站在一邊。在和我說話的時候,他們不停地鞠躬。”
Pan sees the same thing in ROK. "My local classmates remind me to bow to elders we meet oncampus," said Pan. "If we meet freshmen, we can sit and talk casually."
在韓國的小潘也經歷了同樣的事情,她說:“我的韓國同學提醒我,在校園里遇到學長們要鞠躬,而面對低年級的新生,我們就自己隨意地坐下聊天。”
These campus actions are a microcosm of the two countries' respect for tradition. "Fromchildhood, people are taught to be polite to people around them," said Gao. "They consider it aneasy way to live--not a burden."
從這些校園行為中,我們可以看出這兩個國家對于傳統的敬重。“在日韓,人們從小就被告知要禮貌對待周圍的人,”小高說。“人們認為這是一種輕松的生活方式而并非一種負擔。”
Dorm life 寢室生活
Life in the dormitory will vary, depending on the country. Japanese residence halls oftenhave common rooms that students use to host parties. Liu Jianquan, a 26-year-old student atthe University of Tsukuba (an hour's drive from Tokyo), said he sometimes has to call the policeto get his Japanese dorm mates to quiet down.
因為國家不同,寢室生活也截然不同。通常,日本學生宿舍會有一些活動室,學生們會在那里舉辦派對。26歲的劉建全就讀于筑波大學(距東京一小時的路程),他說有時候他不得不向警察求助,這樣才能讓他的那些日本室友安靜下來。
Koreans, meanwhile, are famous in Asia for their emotional behavior. Despite this, the dormsare more sedate than their Japanese versions. This can be attributed to the rules that governthe campuses in ROK.
相比之下,在亞洲,韓國人因其情緒化的行為方式而著稱。盡管如此,寢室的氛圍要遠比他們日式的裝扮安靜穩重得多。這要歸功于韓國校園里的各種規矩。
It also helps that ROK is such a small country. "Young people tend to choose local universities,so lots of students go home every day," said Kim's classmate, Pan Xiaoyu, 20.
還有一個原因:韓國是個很小的國家。金尚英的同班同學,20歲的潘曉宇說:“年輕人傾向于就讀本地的大學,所以很多學生每天住在家里。”
Off-campus pursuits 校外生活
A survey from China Youth and Children Research Center this year found that many Japaneseand Korean students lack an optimistic outlook about their future. About 59 percent of youngJapanese and 58 percent of young Koreans say they "only want to be happy at the moment, anddo not want to think about the future".
今年,中國青少年研究中心的一項調查顯示很多日韓的學生對未來缺乏樂觀態度。約59%的日本青年及58%的韓國青年表示他們“只愿及時行樂,不想去考慮未來。”
Sun Yunxiao, the CYCRC deputy director, attributes this perspective to their uncertaintyabout their society's future. "Also, their elders have created good living conditions, so theyprefer to enjoy a comfortable life rather than worry about the hard work that lies ahead," Sunsaid.
中國青少年研究中心副主任孫云曉把這種悲觀情緒歸咎于他們自身對社會未來的不確定。她說:“還有就是,他們的父母已經為他們提供了很好的生存條件,所以他們寧愿去享受舒適的生活而不是去考慮擺在面前繁重的工作。”
And this worries the older generation. "Lots of parents in these two countries are sending theirchildren to study overseas so they will learn to live more independently," said Sun.
這一現象也使得老一代的人尤為苦惱。孫曉云表示:“兩國的很多家長都希望把子女送到其他國家學習,以便他們學會如何獨立生活。”
