美國理工專業(yè)回暖
2005年攻讀科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)研究生的美國學(xué)生數(shù)量達(dá)到歷史新高，讓哀嘆美國人對(duì)科學(xué)不感興趣的決策者和企業(yè)總裁們看到了一線希望，

。The number of US students going to graduate school for science and engineering hit an all-time high in 2005, offering a glimmer of hope to policymakers and business chiefs who have lamented that Americans are not interested in science.
美國國家科學(xué)基金會(huì)(National Science Foundation)的最新調(diào)查顯示，入讀科學(xué)與工程研究生課程的美國公民和永久性居民人數(shù)增長了2%，達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的33.955萬人。
A new survey conducted by the National Science Foundation shows that enrolment of US citizens and permanent residents in science and engineering graduate programmes increased 2 per cent, to a record 339,550.
調(diào)查還顯示，繼前3年下降之后，今年外國學(xué)生的入學(xué)率首次增長4%。不過，就讀這些學(xué)科的外國學(xué)生總數(shù)下降3%，為連續(xù)第二年下降。
The survey also showed a 4 per cent rise in first-time enrolments by foreign students, following three years of decline. However, total enrolment of foreign students in those subjects dropped 3 per cent - the second year in a row with a decline.
美國科學(xué)促進(jìn)會(huì)(American Association for the Advancement of Science)研發(fā)預(yù)算及政策項(xiàng)目主管Kei Koizumi表示，此次調(diào)查的結(jié)果 "喜憂參半"，

《商務(wù)英語中級(jí)閱讀材料(3)》(http://www.msguai.com)。Kei Koizumi, the director of the R &D budget and policy programme at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, called the survey's findings "mixed".
"多數(shù)決策者表示，好消息是，攻讀科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)的美國人似乎越來越多，"他表示。"但外國學(xué)生數(shù)量下降，不管是因?yàn)閷?shí)際存在或人們感覺中的簽證問題，還是因?yàn)閷W(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)在其它國家讀書更具吸引力，這都(令人沮喪)。"
"The good news, according to most policymakers, is that it appears Americans are going into science and engineering in greater numbers," he said. "But the drop in foreign students - whether it's because of real or perceived visa problems, or because students find it more attractive to study in other nations - is not as [encouraging]."
9·11恐怖襲擊后，美國國務(wù)院對(duì)外國學(xué)生實(shí)施限制，此后，來自國際學(xué)生的申請(qǐng)數(shù)量有所下降。
Applications from international students fell after the State Department imposed restrictions on foreign students in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
