The number of students from China applying to British universities has outstripped those from Northern Ireland for the first time. 中国学生申请英国大学的人数首次超过了北爱尔兰学生。 A record number of applicants from outside the EU – 81,340 – have applied for UK higher education courses starting this autumn, figures reveal. 数据显示，申请今年秋季学期英国高等教育课程的非欧盟国家学生人数达到创纪录的81340人。 This is an increase of 8 percent compared with the 75,380 students who had applied by this point last year. The total number of applicants from the rest of the EU has also risen by 1 percent to 50,650. 与去年同期的75380名申请者相比，这一数字增长了8%。来自欧盟其它国家的申请者总数也增加了1%，达到50650人。 The Ucas university admissions agency revealed on Thursday it had received almost 20,000 undergraduate applications from students in China this year (19,760, up from 15,240 in 2018), compared with 18,520 from Northern Ireland. The real figure will be higher as not all Chinese applications are made via Ucas. 英国高等院校招生办公室周四（7月11日）公布，今年已收到近2万份来自中国学生的本科入学申请（从2018年的15240份增加到19760份），而来自北爱尔兰的申请为18520份。来自中国的申请量实际上更高，因为并非所有的中国学生都通过该机构申请入学。 |
