The 1,600-pupil Bohunt school in Liphook — one of our top comprehensives, in a prosperous commuter village — has embarked on a bold and radical experiment. It has invited five teachers from leading schools in China to teach 50 of its year nine pupils, aged 13 and 14, for four weeks。

位于利普胡克的博航特中學擁有1600名學生，是英國頂尖的綜合學校之一，坐落于地段繁華人來人往的村莊，該中學啟動了一項大膽又激進的實驗：邀請了五位來自中國重點學校的老師來教50名13-14歲的九年級學生，為期四周。

Why? Simple. British students lag three years behind their Asian counterparts in academic achievement. In maths, they trail behind most of Europe, too。

為什么要這樣做?原因很簡單。英國學生在學業(yè)成績上和亞洲學生相比已經(jīng)落后三年了，在數(shù)學上，他們也落后于歐洲大部分國家。

Keenly aware of this, and conscious that its pupils will be competing with the Chinese for jobs in a global market, the school set out to test how its students would fare under the rigour, long hours and rigid discipline of the Chinese education system。

他們不僅強烈意識到這一點，還意識到他們的學生將來要和中國學生在國際市場上競爭工作，于是這所學校打算測試一下它的學生會如何面對中國教育方法長時間的嚴格學習，及對紀律的嚴格要求。

The answer, it seems, is abysmally。

答案似乎不太妙。
