全球刮起留學熱 中國家長最積極

HSBC has good news for teenagers who want to get far, far away from their parents.

對于那些想離父母遠遠的青少年，匯豐銀行有一個好消息。

A new survey published by the bank shows that 42% of parents would consider sending their kids abroad for college, up from 35% in 2016.

匯豐銀行發(fā)布的一項新調查顯示，42%的父母會考慮送孩子出國讀大學，相比2016年的35%有所上升。

Interest in an international education -- which can be very expensive -- has increased in almost all of the 15 countries and territories included in the survey.

調查涵蓋的15個國家和地區(qū)中，父母們對于海外教育的興趣基本上都有所增加，盡管出國留學可能非常昂貴。

Parents in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates were the most enthusiastic, with a majority in each saying they would consider sending their kids abroad for college.

中國大陸、中國香港、印度、馬來西亞、印度尼西亞和阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長國的父母最熱衷于送孩子出國留學，大多數(shù)父母都表示會考慮送孩子出國讀大學。

British, Australian and French parents were less keen, with only 17% to 22% expressing an interest in international study. The figure was 36% among American parents.

英國、澳大利亞和法國的家長們就沒那么積極，只有17%到22%的父母表達出送孩子出國留學的意愿。有意愿送孩子出國留學的美國家長占36%。

Parents said the US was the most desirable place for their kids to study, followed by Australia and the UK.

從父母們的反饋來看，美國是最理想的留學目的地，其次是澳大利亞和英國。

Some families could be in for major sticker shock -- especially if they've set their sights on an American education. 一些家庭可能會對高昂的留學費用感到震驚，尤其是那些打算送孩子去美國留學的家長。

HSBC said that international parents expect tuition at US colleges to be $11,000 a year or less. In reality, the tuition costs are closer to $33,000 a year.

匯豐銀行稱，留學生家長對美國大學學費的預期是每年最多1.1萬美元(合7.3萬元人民幣)。實際上，美國大學學費每年將近3.3萬美元(合22萬元人民幣)。

The bank said that total costs over four years, including living expenses, average more than $180,000 at major US universities.

匯豐銀行稱，在美國重點大學就讀四年，包括生活開銷在內的總花費平均超過18萬美元(合119萬元人民幣)。

International students typically pay full tuition at American universities.

留學生通常在美國大學都要支付全額學費。
