双语新闻：澳大利亚收紧对外国学生的签证规定
Australia will soon begin enforcing stricter visa rules for foreign students. The move comes as official data showed migration hit another record high.
澳大利亚将很快开始对外国学生实施更严格的签证规定。官方数据显示，移民人数再创新高。
The new rules took effect on March 23. The rules will increase English language requirements for student visas.
新规定于3月23日生效。该规定将提高学生签证的英语语言要求。
The new rules will also give the government the power to suspend education providers from recruiting international students if they repeatedly break rules.
新规定还将赋予政府暂停教育机构招收国际学生的权力，如果他们一再违反规定。
"The actions this weekend will continue to drive migration levels down while delivering on our commitments in the migration strategy to fix the broken system we inherited," Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil said in a statement.
内政部长克莱尔·奥尼尔在一份声明中说:“本周末的行动将继续推动移民水平下降，同时履行我们在移民战略中的承诺，修复我们继承的破损体系。”
A new "genuine student test" will be introduced to block international students who look to come to Australia for work reasons instead of education reasons. The government will also enforce "no further stay" conditions on visitor visas.
澳大利亚将推出一项新的“真正的学生测试”，以阻止那些以工作而非教育为目的来澳的国际学生。政府还将对游客签证实施“不得再停留”的条件。
The moves follow several actions last year to end COVID-era exceptions introduced by the former government. Those rules included unrestricted working hours for international students.
去年，前政府采取了几项行动，结束了新冠疫情时期的例外情况。这些规定包括不限制国际学生的工作时间。
Australia increased its yearly migration numbers in 2022 to help businesses deal with worker shortages caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic brought strict border controls and kept foreign students and workers out for nearly two years.
澳大利亚在2022年增加了年度移民人数，以帮助企业应对部分由COVID-19大流行造成的工人短缺。疫情带来了严格的边境管制，将外国学生和工人拒之门外将近两年。
But the sudden increase of foreign workers and students has worsened pressure on an already tight rental market. Demand for rental housing across Australia was already higher than the supply of available housing.
但是，外国工人和学生的突然增加加剧了本已紧张的租赁市场的压力。澳大利亚各地对租赁住房的需求已经超过了可用住房的供应。
Australia's Department of Education says there were more than 567,000 international students in the country as of January 2024. That is a 26 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
澳大利亚教育部表示，截至2024年1月，澳大利亚有超过56.7万名国际学生。这比去年同期增长了26%。
Almost all of the international students in Australia come from Asia. The top five countries are China, India, Nepal, the Philippines and Vietnam. That information comes from Australia's Department of Education.
澳大利亚几乎所有的国际学生都来自亚洲。排名前五的国家是中国、印度、尼泊尔、菲律宾和越南。这一信息来自澳大利亚教育部。
Overall, Australia's population rose 2.5 percent - the fastest increase on record - to 26.8 million people last year.
总的来说，去年澳大利亚人口增长了2.5%，达到2680万人，这是有记录以来最快的增长。
The record migration has expanded the labor supply and reduced pressures to raise wages.
创纪录的人口流动扩大了劳动力供应，降低了提高工资的压力。
O'Neil, the Home Affairs Minister, said the government's actions since September have led to a drop in migration levels. She added that recent international student visa approvals were down by 35 percent compared to the year before.
内政部长奥尼尔表示，政府自9月份以来的行动导致移民水平下降。她补充说，最近的国际学生签证批准比前一年下降了35%。
