Registration for the national entrance examinations for postgraduate study started last month, but it seems some students can’t resist the temptation to take shortcuts. 上个月，全国考研报名工作启动，而似乎有那么一些学生抵制不住“走捷径”的诱惑。 Media reports show that a cheating epidemic has swept many universities in recent years, with thousands of students plagiarizing, bribing teachers or buying essays online. 从各大媒体的报道中我们可以看到，近年来许多高校考研作弊成风。学生涉嫌抄袭、贿赂考官，或在线购买论文的事例数不胜数。 Bribery usually happens in the second round of written tests and interviews, in which universities have the final say on results. Education experts have expressed concern over the phenomenon. 贿赂考官的现象常见于第二轮笔试和面试阶段，在复试阶段，学校方面掌握着生杀大权。教育专家们对这一现象表示担忧。 “It’s quite worrying to find students offering precious gifts or even cash to a teacher,” said Zhang Guoliang, professor of communication at Shanghai Jiaotong University. 来自上海交通大学的传播学张国良教授表示：“学生给考官送厚礼，甚至是送现金的现象令人十分担忧。” “Although universities are getting better at detecting bribery, the view across the education sector is that the practice has increased,” said Zhang. |
