（原标题：美国新冠感染病例居高不下? 高校忧虑世界生源丢失）
因为美国新冠肺炎感染病例居高不下，许多高校开学方案不明，一些高校忧虑这将导致大批留学生丢失，然后使得学校预算下降。
While colleges across the country are still on the fence about opening their campuses to students, most are preparing for a drop in the number of international students, according to a new study.
最新研讨显现，虽然美国各地的大学仍在犹疑是否开学，但大都大学都在为世界学生数量下降做准备。
on the fence：保持中立；抱张望情绪
The Institute of International Education (IIE), which tracks data on college students, on Thursday released the results of a survey it conducted with 599 colleges and universities in all 50 states about their plans for the summer and fall semesters in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
美国世界教育协会对全美50个州的599所大学展开了一项查询，问询其鉴于现在的新冠疫情，夏日和秋季的开学方案，并在本周四（5月14日）发布了查询陈述。该协会对大学生的数据进行跟踪查询。
Mirka Martel, the report's author, noted that 74% of respondents said they don't know if they will continue their study abroad programs in the fall but 70% said they anticipate that at least some international students won't able to come to their campus for that semester.
陈述的作者米尔卡·马特尔指出，74%的高校标明不确定秋季是否会持续展开海外学习项目，但70%的受访高校估计部分留学生在秋季学期开始后不会返校。
"Our analysis indicates that these institutions anticipate that approximately 16% of their international student body will not be able to come to campus in‐person in fall 2020," Martel said during a conference call with reporters.
“咱们的剖析标明，这些高校估计，在本年秋季学期，约有16%的世界学生无法亲身到校学习，”马特尔在电话会议上和记者说。
The surveyed campuses taught 519,000 international students during the 2018-2019 academic year, which was approximately 47% of the US's total international student population, according to IIE. Martel noted that because of the pandemic, academic institutions had to scale back their recruitment efforts abroad.
依据该协会的数据，承受查询的高校中2018-2019学年约有51.9万名留学生，约占美国留学生总数的47%。马特尔称，因为新冠肺炎疫情，学术组织不得不削减海外招生工作。
Roughly 78% of the schools switched to virtual recruitment methods, such as online information sessions and phone calls with prospective students, and many took actions to waive certain costs, such as application fees, the report said. Martel said college administrators are concerned about their budgets as the number of international students dwindles.
大约78%的高校转而采纳虚拟招生方法，比如与意向学生的网络会议和电话面试等。陈述称，许多高校采纳举动革除申请费等某些费用。马特尔说，跟着世界学生数量的削减，大学管理人员忧虑学校的预算。
"They are thinking about internationalization moving forward and how international education may change and evolve post COVID‐19," she said.
她说：“高校正在考虑怎么推进世界化，以及在新冠肺炎疫情往后世界教育将发作何种改变。”
The report added that the schools are turning to alternative options to help students who are still interested in attending their classes. about three-quarters of the respondents said they would offer students the option of deferring their enrollment to the fall of 2021.
陈述还指出，这些高校正在转向其他挑选，以协助那些对入读依然感兴趣的学生。约四分之三的受访高校标明，学生可以再一次进行挑选推延至2021年秋季学期入学。
Colleges are still figuring out how many classes will be taught online and what offerings will be available in the fall.
各所高校仍在研讨有多少课程将在网上教授，以及秋季学期将会有什么课程组织。
"As a result, 52% of reported institutions indicate that they plan to offer students online enrollment in the fall, whereas 42% indicate that they will offer online instruction until the student can come to campus in‐person," the report said.
陈述称：“因而，52%的受访高校标明，方案在秋季为学生供给在线入学挂号。而42%的受访高校标明，他们将供给网络教育，直到学生可以亲身来到学校。”
