据新华社北京10月14日专电 中国连续两年超过印度，成为美国留学生第一大生源国。一直从事中国留学生招生工作的美国旧金山大学副校长史丹利·奈尔告诉新华社记者，中国学生在选择留学美国时存在四大认识误区。

Xinhua Beijing on October 14,, special telegram Chinese for two years more than India,As American students first big germ kingdom.We have been engaged in Chinese students enrollment work of American San Francisco vice-chancellor Stanley · neel told xinhua,Chinese students in choosing a study in the United States have four big misunderstanding.

误区1 Erroneous zone 1

找什么工作 就选什么专业 Seek what job would choose what major

　　据史丹利介绍，美国的教育体系和中国有区别。本科阶段，美国教育体系的目的是“修身”，让学生懂得如何去学习，如何协作、与人相处等等；针对工作的学习是研究生阶段的任务。

According to Stanley is introduced,American education system and China has the difference.Undergraduate course phase,The United States education system is the purpose of"Cultivate one's morality",Let the students know how to learn,How to collaborate/Get along with people, etc;According to the work of study is the graduate student stage task.

　　这与中国留学生的心理预期不同。北京市高一学生小叶正在备战“美国高考”，她出国留学是为了将来回国能找个好工作。对于本科专业的选择，小叶刚开始想学音乐，后来觉得不容易就业，又想转向物理。

The Chinese students psychological expectations different.The students are preparing for a lobules"American college entrance examination",She study abroad for future home to find a good job.For undergraduate professional choice,Lobular just began to want to learn music,Then don't feel easy to obtain employment,And want to turn to physics.

　　小叶的想法代表了一部分准备出国的高中生。他们认为，在选择美国大学的本科专业时，将来想从事什么工作，就应该选什么专业。

Lobular idea represents part of the preparation of high school students go abroad.They think,In the choice of the American university undergraduate majors,The future what want to be engaged in work,Should choose what major.

　　史丹利告诉记者，这与美国本科阶段教育的初衷是背离的。“我们不想在本科阶段培养一些只知道怎么按按钮、让机器运作起来的大学生。”史丹利建议，本科阶段专业的选择应该考虑两点，自己擅长做什么和喜欢做什么。对于擅长做的事情，学习起来不会很难，容易建立自信；而对于喜欢做的事情，会有学习的动力。

Stanley told reporters,This undergraduate course phase with the United States education of the original intention of the deviation."We don't want to in the undergraduate stage cultivate some only know how to press the button/Let the machine to work of college students."Stanley Suggestions,Undergraduate course phase professional choice should consider two points,He is good at what to do and what to do.For good at doing things,Study up it won't be difficult,Easy to build confidence;And to enjoy doing,There will be a learning power.

误区2 Erroneous zone 2

多听讲少发言 Listen more to speak less

　　在中国传统思维中，老师的讲课轻易不要打断，上课要多听讲少发言。但这种情况在美国的课堂并不流行。

In the traditional Chinese thinking,The teacher's lecture easily don't interrupt,Class to listen more to speak less.But this kind of situation in the American classroom is not popular.

　　史丹利建议中国留学生“入乡随俗”。不断地训练自己提问，向教授问问题，让他知道自己对某一领域感兴趣，这也是课堂加分的好办法。

Stanley suggest Chinese students"Do in Rome as Rome does".Constantly ask ourselves questions training,Professor to ask questions,Let him know that to a certain interest in the area,This is also a good way to class points.

误区3 Error 3

先生活后读书 First read after life

　　一些留学生初到美国之后，忙于跟大家聚会，享受快乐。史丹利提醒，美国大学的课程是非常密集和紧张的，一步落下，步步落后。有的留学生可能在一开始落下了步子，就再也没有机会追上课程进度了。因此，对于课程的学习一定要启动快，切勿先生活后读书。

Some students to early after the United States,Busy with everyone party,Enjoy happy.Stanley remind,The American college of course is very close and nervous,Step down,At every step backward.Some students may begin to fall in the steps,Will never have a chance to catch up with the progress of the course.therefore,For course of study must start soon,Do not first life after reading.

误区4 Error 4

到美国再学英语 To the United States and learn English

　　很多家长和学生认为，就是因为英文不好，才想去留学。在中国只要掌握英语的应试能力就可以了，到美国再深造。

A lot of parents and students think,Is because English is not good,Didn't want to go to study abroad.In China as long as master English test capabilities is ok,To the United States and further study.

　　“英语能力弱，直接决定着课堂接受能力差。”史丹利说，“这可能导致留学生从一开始就失去学习的信心。”

"English ability weak,Directly determine the classroom accept ability is poor."Stanley said,"This can lead to students from the beginning to lose the confidence of learning."
