3%中国留美学生去年被 “开除”

An estimated 3 percent of Chinese students studying in the US - or about 8,000 - were dismissed last year, according to a white paper.

根据白皮书指出，约有3%，即8000名，中国留美学生去年被学校开除。

被学校开除，我们可以用be dismissed from school表示，dismiss在这里指开除，名词形式为dismissal。Dismiss还有解雇的意思，如：If you are late again, you will be dismissed. (如果你再迟到，你将被解雇。)

白皮书指出，被开除的留学生群体具有以下一些共同特点：学术表现差(poor academic performance)或学术不诚实(academic dishonesty)。在美国，学术不诚实是学生受到纪律处分(disciplinary action)的最主要原因。处理方式有警告(admonish)、留校察看(probation)、要求离开校园(withdraw)、开除(dismiss)等。

白皮书还指出，学习态度不端正(improper learning attitude)，身体和心理的问题(mental problems and physical problems)、不适应学习环境(maladjustment to the learning environment)、学习能力不足(insufficient learning ability )都是导致平均绩点低(a low grade-point average)、成绩差的因素。
