2020考研英语时事阅读:赴美留学生遇到什么麻烦?

Cottey College, a women’s college in Nevada, Mo., accepted six students from Ethiopia this year, and officials were disappointed when two of them were denied visas. They were puzzled by the reason: The students, the State Department said, did not have strong enough ties to their home country and might not return.

Unexpected denials and long delays have become increasingly common for international students and scholars seeking visas, raising concerns among college officials who see a threat to the diversity and enrichment of their campuses, and causing anxiety for students who may have spent years preparing to study in the United States — only to have their hopes dashed.

University officials say the number of visas going through extended security checks has spiked under the Trump administration. The government has cracked down on international students who overstay their visas, issuing harsher penalties on violators. Processing fees for student and scholar visas have risen sharply. And slowdowns in processing applications from international students and scholars for internships and jobs have limited career opportunities.

【参考译文】

寇提学院是位于密苏里州内华达市的一所女子学院，该校今年录取了六名来自埃塞俄比亚的学生，其中两名学生的签证遭遇拒签，这令校方感到失望。他们对(拒签)原因感到困惑：美国国务院表示，这些学生的回国约束力不够，可能有移民倾向。

对于突如其来的拒签和签证审查时间延长的现象，在国际学生和申请签证的学者中已经越来越普遍，为此校方表示担忧。他们认为这不利于学校多元化和专业化的发展，使花费数年时间准备赴美留学的学生焦虑不安，让他们希望破灭。

校方表示，在特朗普政府执政期间，遭遇签证审查时间延长的签证数量激增。政府针对签证逾期逗留的国际学生进行了严厉打击，且对违规者给予更严厉的惩罚。学生及学者签证的手续费大幅上涨。此外，国际学生和学者实习和工作的申请进度放缓，限制了他们就业的机会。
