全球刮起留學(xué)熱
HSBC has good news for teenagers who want to get far, far away from their parents.
對(duì)于那些想離父母遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的青少年，匯豐銀行有一個(gè)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(xiàng)新調(diào)查顯示，42%的父母會(huì)考慮送孩子出國(guó)讀大學(xué)，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(diào)查涵蓋的15個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)中，父母?jìng)儗?duì)于海外教育的興趣基本上都有所增加，盡管出國(guó)留學(xué)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(guó)大陸、中國(guó)香港、印度、馬來(lái)西亞、印度尼西亞和阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)的父母最熱衷于送孩子出國(guó)留學(xué)，大多數(shù)父母都表示會(huì)考慮送孩子出國(guó)讀大學(xué)。
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(guó)、澳大利亞和法國(guó)的家長(zhǎng)們就沒(méi)那么積極，只有17%到22%的父母表達(dá)出送孩子出國(guó)留學(xué)的意愿。有意愿送孩子出國(guó)留學(xué)的美國(guó)家長(zhǎng)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?jìng)兊姆答亖?lái)看，美國(guó)是最理想的留學(xué)目的地，其次是澳大利亞和英國(guó)。
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(huì)對(duì)高昂的留學(xué)費(fèi)用感到震驚，尤其是那些打算送孩子去美國(guó)留學(xué)的家長(zhǎng)。
HSBC said that international parents expect tuition at US colleges to be ,000 a year or less. In reality, the tuition costs are closer to ,000 a year.
匯豐銀行稱，留學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)對(duì)美國(guó)大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)的預(yù)期是每年最多1.1萬(wàn)美元(合7.3萬(wàn)元人民幣)。實(shí)際上，美國(guó)大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)每年將近3.3萬(wàn)美元(合22萬(wàn)元人民幣)。

International students typically pay full tuition at American universities.
留學(xué)生通常在美國(guó)大學(xué)都要支付全額學(xué)費(fèi)。
Here are a few more key numbers from the study:

你是我的光
Peter, I know these last few months have been hard for you. But I’m going to a better place. And I will be okay. And I will always be with you. You are the light of my life. My precious son. My little Star-Lord.
Peter, 我知道最近幾個(gè)月對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)很痛苦，但是我去了更好的地方，我會(huì)照顧好自己的。我會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)陪在你身邊。你是我生命的曙光，我摯愛(ài)的兒子，我的小星爵。
這里涉及了習(xí)語(yǔ)“the light of your life”，它的意思是“最愛(ài)的人”。追星少女最能理解這句話啦，“為什么喜歡一個(gè)遙遠(yuǎn)的人? 因?yàn)樗麜?huì)發(fā)光啊!”
好的，今天就來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)和light有關(guān)的實(shí)用表達(dá)。
教你英語(yǔ)表白“你是我的光”
1. cast/shed/throw light on sth 為…提供解釋;使…較容易理解
His diary cast light on life in England in the seventeenth century.
他的日記使人了解17世紀(jì)英格蘭的生活情況。
2. come to light(真相)為人所知，被披露
Fresh evidence has recently come to light that suggests that he didn't in fact commit the murder.
新近發(fā)現(xiàn)的證據(jù)表明那起兇殺案并不是他干的。
3. go out like a light 立即入睡;馬上失去知覺(jué)
go out的意思有“出去;熄滅”，這里就用燈光熄滅的速度來(lái)比喻立即入睡的狀態(tài)，很形象吧!下面分享的例句來(lái)自《駱駝祥子》：
When he lay down finally, he went out like a light the moment his head touched the bed, and he felt it wouldn't be such a bad thing if he never woke again.
到了夜晚，頭一挨地他便像死了過(guò)去，而永遠(yuǎn)不再睜眼也并非一定是件壞事。
4. in the light of sth 因?yàn)?，鑒于
In the light of recent incidents, we are asking our customers to take particular care of their personal belongings.
鑒于最近發(fā)生的幾起事件，我們提醒顧客要特別注意照看好自己的個(gè)人物品。
5. light at the end of the tunnel 隧道盡頭的亮光，曙光
這個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)常用來(lái)指局勢(shì)出現(xiàn)好轉(zhuǎn)或艱巨任務(wù)即將完成的跡象，不知道大家有沒(méi)有看過(guò)《釜山行》。電影的最后幸存的兩個(gè)人要通過(guò)長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的隧道，最終她們靠著盡頭的亮光走完了隧道活了下去。
As finals approached, she felt that at last she could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
隨著考試的臨近，她覺(jué)得自己終于快要熬出頭了。
6. show someone in a bad light 丑化(某人)
in a bad light的意思是在看不清楚的地方;在光線不好的地方。
有沒(méi)有聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)有一種神奇的光叫韓劇光，沒(méi)了打光畫(huà)面可沒(méi)那么好看哦!
He was concerned that the article had shown him in a bad light.
他擔(dān)心那部影片丑化了他的形象。
以上的light都是名詞含義，再來(lái)看看它的形容詞和動(dòng)詞用法。
light做形容詞，除了“光亮的，明亮的”的這個(gè)最常見(jiàn)意思，還有這幾個(gè)含義：
1. 輕松的，愉快的
make light of sth 輕視，忽視(尤指問(wèn)題)
It is easy to make light of other people's problems.
忽視他人的問(wèn)題很容易。
2. 弱小的;少量的
light eater/drinker/smoker
飯量/酒量/煙癮小的人
light sleeper
睡覺(jué)輕的人
3. 輕微的，輕松的，容易的
①make light work of sth/doing sth 輕而易舉地做某事
Heather made light work of painting the walls.
希瑟輕而易舉地刷完了墻。
②as light as a feather 輕如鴻毛
His death is as light as a feather.
他的死輕如鴻毛。
light作動(dòng)詞，翻譯為“照亮，點(diǎn)亮;為…照明”，看一下這兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)：
①light on/upon sth 突然發(fā)現(xiàn)，突然想起
We lighted upon the solution entirely by accident.
我們想起這個(gè)辦法實(shí)屬偶然。
②light (sth) up 使高興起來(lái)
Rosie's whole face lit up with excitement when she saw the presents.
看到禮物的時(shí)候羅茜滿臉興奮。
