On Fabricating Academic Credentials 學歷造假

2.分析這一現(xiàn)象的原因

3.如何根除這一現(xiàn)象

英語范文：

Etymologically, the word “credential” derives from “credit” and is related to the moral attribute of credibility. An academic credential reflects a student's academic knowledge and expertise, with which he becomes qualified for performing certain professional responsibilities at certain professional positions. Academic credentials shouldn't be falsified because false credentials are dangerous. For example, a medical graduate with false credentials can kill his patients rather than rescuing them.

從詞源學上講，學歷“credential”一詞源于“credit”(信譽), 與誠信這一德行相關(guān)。一份學歷所反映的，是一個學生的學識與專長;有了這二者，他就有資質(zhì)去在特定的專業(yè)崗位上履行特定的專業(yè)職責。對于學歷，不應(yīng)弄虛作假，因為虛假的學歷貽害無窮。舉例來說，一個擁有虛假學歷的醫(yī)科畢業(yè)生，更有可能將其病人置于死地，而非挽救其生命。

Currently, fabricating academic credentials is particularly rampant in China, where all recruitments seem to involve credentials. In order to secure the job they want, some job seekers without the required credentials have no alternative but to have them fabricated by professional forgers. While condemning users of fake credentials on both legal and moral grounds, we somehow tend to sympathize with them as they are victimized by a society addicted to the credential mania.

目前，學歷造假在我國尤為猖獗。在中國，所有的人才招聘似乎無不涉及到文憑。為了獲得他們夢寐以求的工作，有些并不擁有必要學歷的求職者，只能轉(zhuǎn)而求助于職業(yè)制假者，請他們偽造文憑。雖然我們會基于法律和道德的理由去譴責這些購買和使用假冒文憑的人，但我們?nèi)匀粫λ麄儜延心撤N惻隱之心，因為他們也是這個唯文憑是論的國度的犧牲品。

A more despicable form of credential fabrication is perpetrated by those already highly successful people—businessmen, entrepreneurs, government officials, celebrities in the entertainment industry, etc. They use false credentials not so much to advance their careers as to project their personal image as an icon. This is a greater evil because those fabricators contrive, through fraudulence, to secure our admiration and respect on the spiritual level. A most notorious case is the scandal of TxxJxx, who pretends to be a role model for innocent Chinese youth, with false Ph.D. credential from a non-existent American university.

有一種更為卑鄙的文憑造假，造假者是那些早已功成名就的人士——商人、企業(yè)家、政府官員、娛樂界名人等等。他們不亦樂乎地進行學歷造假，以其說是為了謀取職業(yè)發(fā)展，還不如說是為了構(gòu)筑他們個人形象。供大眾進行偶像崇拜。這是一種更為嚴重的惡行，因為這些造假者，通過欺世盜名的手段，處心積慮地要攫取我們精神層面上對他們的欽佩與尊敬。一個最臭名昭著的案例便是某個TJ君所爆出的丑聞，此君將自己偽裝一個角色榜樣，接受某些成胸無城府、涉世不深的中國青年的膜拜，而手里握著的，則是某個子虛烏有的美國大學的所謂博士文憑!

To solve this problem, a combination of measures is necessary. We should evaluate a person by his true caliber, not solely by his credentials. Legally, we should crack down on both the seller and the buyer of false credentials. Finally, we should keep exposing and denouncing fabricators so they can no longer fool us. In this way, our society will become purified and credibility will ultimately prevail.

要解決這個問題，關(guān)鍵是需要多管齊下。我們在衡量一個人時，應(yīng)以其實際能力為標準，而非僅看他的文憑。在法律上，我們應(yīng)該對假學歷的制售者和購買者一并實施打擊。我們應(yīng)一如既往地揭露和譴責文憑造假者，讓其不再能蒙騙我們。這樣一來，我們的社會環(huán)境將得到凈化，誠信終將占據(jù)上風。
