美国高校为吸引留学生 将“学院”改名为“大学”
<p>近年来，美国多所高等学府更名，把学校名称从“学院”（<span word="College">College</span>）改为“大学”（<span word="University">University</span>），以招揽外国学生，特别是来自中国的学生，因为校方认为，相较于大学，学院这个词在一些国家只被当成高中或大专。而将学院改为大学，有助于对外提升学校形象，避免误解。</p><p><span word="What">What</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="name">name</span>? <span word="A">A</span> <span word="lot">lot</span>, <span word="if">if</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="asked">asked</span> <span word="Johnson">Johnson</span> <span word="State">State</span> <span word="College">College</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Lyndon">Lyndon</span> <span word="State">State</span> <span word="College">College</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="US">US</span> <span word="state">state</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Vermont">Vermont</span>.</p><p>如果有人问美国佛蒙特州的约翰逊州立学院和林登州立学院，名字重要吗？它们会告诉你，非常重要。</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="schools">schools</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="now">now</span> <span word="one">one</span>, <span word="at">at</span> <span word="least">least</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="name">name</span> - <span word="Northern">Northern</span> <span word="Vermont">Vermont</span> <span word="University">University</span> - <span word="with">with</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="campuses">campuses</span> 89 <span word="kilometers">kilometers</span> <span word="apart">apart</span>.</p><p>如今这两所相距89公里的学院至少名字上已经成为一所大学——北佛蒙特大学。</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="name">name</span> <span word="change">change</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="designed">designed</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="attract">attract</span> <span word="foreign">foreign</span> <span word="students">students</span> <span word="willing">willing</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="pay">pay</span> <span word="higher">higher</span> <span word="tuition">tuition</span>.
