現(xiàn)在有成千上萬的非洲人在中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)。中國(guó)為學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)技能提供經(jīng)濟(jì)援助，而這些技能都是非洲最需要的。而且這一教育體系還使得中國(guó)人結(jié)交了非洲朋友。

Violet Bwalya of Zambia is among the increasing number of Africans who are receiving financial help to study in China. She registered at Tongji University in Shanghai in September, 2013. The school is among the top universities in the country.

At a restaurant near Tongji, she shared some thoughts about being a Zambian student in China. For example, the university's restaurant serves Chinese food.

在同濟(jì)大學(xué)附近的一家餐館，她分享了一些作為一名贊比亞學(xué)生在中國(guó)留學(xué)的想法。例如，大學(xué)餐廳里供應(yīng)的中國(guó)菜。

Ms. Bwalya said before she arrived, she did not know she would see so many people like herself. She said the number of Africans in China greatly surprised her.

布瓦利亞女士稱，在她到達(dá)中國(guó)之前，她從來不知道在中國(guó)能看到這么多像她這樣的人。她說，中國(guó)的非洲人數(shù)量讓她大為吃驚。

The young woman said she is also excited by the level of development in China. She noted the tall buildings and many roads. She said Zambia does not have many tall buildings.

這位年輕的女士稱，她為中國(guó)的發(fā)展水平感到興奮，她還特別提到中國(guó)的很多高樓大廈和道路。她稱贊比亞沒有很多高層建筑。

"Generally, I think the biggest challenge for an international student who comes to China to study English, an English course, is availability of lecturers who can actually speak English."

“一般來講，我認(rèn)為對(duì)來中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)英語的國(guó)際學(xué)生來說，最大的挑戰(zhàn)就是找到真正能說英語的老師。”

Another Ugandan student said it may be too easy to receive a degree in China.

另一名來自烏干達(dá)的學(xué)生稱，在中國(guó)獲得學(xué)位可能過于容易。

“在我們的家鄉(xiāng)，你得真的努力才能取得好成績(jī)，你不會(huì)因?yàn)橹皇侨ド险n或去參加了考試就能得到90分。但是在這里，你去了，他們就會(huì)給你90分。”
