外国学生受到美国大学的欢迎，部分原因是因为他们之中许多人有能力支付全额学费。据估计，外国留学生对美国经济的贡献多达390亿美元。在美国学习的留学生中，中国的留学生最多，达36.3万人，占所有留学生人数的三分之一。根据美国国际教育协会（IIE）发布的报告，从2010年开始，虽然每年赴美中国留学生的数量都在增加，但增幅却不断在下降，如今这种趋势愈发明显。而今年美国多所高校招生不乐观，中国的留学生新生人数减少了五分之一。中国留学生入学人数锐减，将直接影响美国大学的主要学费来源。

US universities see decreased enrollment from China

After a decade of booming enrollment by students from China, American universities are starting to see steep declines as political tensions between the two countries cut into a major source of tuition revenue. Several universities have reported drops of one-fifth or more this fall in the number of new students from China. To adapt, some schools are stepping up recruiting in other parts of the world and working to hold on to their share of students from China.

University administrators and observers say trade conflicts and U.S. concerns about the security risks posed by visiting Chinese students appear to be accelerating a trend driven also by growing international competition, visa complications, and the development of China's own higher education system.

Prospective students and parents in China share concerns with those in other countries about American gun violence and tougher immigration enforcement. A report in May by the Association of International Educators found that the top two factors behind declining numbers of foreign students were the vagaries of the visa process and the social and political environment in the United States.

翻译卡 ☞ 美国大学经历着来自中国的入学人数的减少

经历十年来中国留学生人数的蓬勃发展，美国大学开始出现急剧下降的趋势，伴随着的两国之间的政治紧张局势正在侵蚀大部分的学费收入来源。几所大学都报告说，今年秋天来自中国的新生人数下降了五分之一或更多。为了适应，一些学校正在世界其他地区加紧招募，并努力保持他们来自中国的学生的份额。

大学管理者/行政人员和观察家说，贸易争端和美国对来访中国学生带来的安全风险的担忧似乎正在加速这样的趋势。同时还有国际竞争加剧，签证复杂化以及中国自己的高等教育系统发展。
