這里是美國之音慢速英語經濟報道。
More people are able to receive higher education worldwide than in the past, but the amount of higher education is causing social and economic divisions in many countries. A recent study by the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) also finds that some developing countries are making surprising progress.
與過去相比，全世界越來越多的人能夠接受到高等教育，但是高等教育者越來越多也導致了很多國家的社會和經濟分化。經濟發(fā)展合作組織最近的一項研究也發(fā)現，一些發(fā)展中國家正在取得驚人的進步。
Five years ago, the world financial crisis hurt many nations, but it did not slow growth in education. A recent OECD report notes the quality and amount of education is increasing the division between what it calls the haves and the have-nots.
五年前，世界金融危機傷害了許多國家，但是卻沒有減緩教育的增長速度。經合組織最近的一項報告指出教育的質量和數量加速了富人和窮人間的分化。
In some areas, rising unemployment has affected people with lower education levels more than others. They earn considerably less than those with higher degrees. There are 34 economically developed countries in the OECD. Among those countries, the unemployment rate for people with a university education is about five percent. However, the rate is almost twenty percent for 25-34-year olds who do not have a university degree. This situation also exists in developing economies.
在一些地區(qū)，失業(yè)率的上升對教育水平低的人的影響比其他人更深。這些教育水平低的人所掙得錢遠遠低于那些擁有更高學位的人。經濟合作與發(fā)展組織中有34個經濟發(fā)達的國家。在這些國家中，擁有大學教育水平的人失業(yè)率約為5%。但是，25-34歲之間沒有大學學位的人幾乎占到20%。這種情況在發(fā)展中國家也存在。
Andreas Schleicher is the Education and Skills Director for the OECD. He says the finding is a surprise.
安德烈亞斯·施萊科是經合組織中的教育和技能主任。他稱，這種發(fā)現令人驚訝。
"You can see that in Brazil, you can see that in east Asia. For the countries where we do have the data, it is a pretty common trend. And the recent financial crisis has amplified that trend. Education makes more of a difference in terms of your life chances than it used to," Schleicher said.
施萊科說：“你可以看到在巴西和東亞都是這樣的，在我們知道數據的那些國家里也是相當常見的趨勢。而且今年的金融危機又加大了這一趨勢，而且相比于過去，教育改變人們生活的程度越來越深。”
The report finds that education makes a greater difference for individuals within countries. But it also notes that education is reducing divisions between developed and developing countries. Andreas Schleicher says countries like China, Vietnam and Brazil are making education an important goal. He says they are investing their limited resources to get good teachers and school leaders.
該報告發(fā)現，教育使得各個國家的民眾有了很大的差異，還指出教育正在縮小發(fā)達國家和發(fā)展中國家的差異。安德烈亞斯·施萊科稱，像中國、越南和巴西這樣的國家也將把教育作為它們的重要目標。他稱，這些國家正在利用其有限的資源投資于良好的師資力量和學校領導力量。
"What is really interesting when you look at this data: the world is no longer divided between rich and well educated nations, and poor and badly educated ones. Some of these middle-income countries see enormous progress," said Schleicher.
“當你看這些數據時，什么是真正令人感興趣的呢？那就是全世界不再劃分教育水平高的富國和教育水平低的窮國。一些中等收入的國家正在取得巨大的進步。”
The report says education rates are expending faster in many developing countries than in rich ones.
該報告稱，在很多發(fā)展中國家受教育的比例要比發(fā)達國家增長的更快。
The Education at a Glance 2014 report provides detailed information about education in the OECD member states. It also reports on non-member countries including China, India, Colombia, Brazil and Russia.
經合組織在2014年公布的教育概覽提供了經合組織成員國關于教育的詳細信息，并報告了包括中國、印度、哥倫比亞、巴西和俄羅斯在內的非成員國的教育信息。
