这里是美国之音慢速英语经济报道。
More people are able to receive higher education worldwide than in the past, but the amount of higher education is causing social and economic divisions in many countries. A recent study by the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) also finds that some developing countries are making surprising progress.
与过去相比，全世界越来越多的人能够接受到高等教育，但是高等教育者越来越多也导致了很多国家的社会和经济分化。经济发展合作组织最近的一项研究也发现，一些发展中国家正在取得惊人的进步。
Five years ago, the world financial crisis hurt many nations, but it did not slow growth in education. A recent OECD report notes the quality and amount of education is increasing the division between what it calls the haves and the have-nots.
五年前，世界金融危机伤害了许多国家，但是却没有减缓教育的增长速度。经合组织最近的一项报告指出教育的质量和数量加速了富人和穷人间的分化。
In some areas, rising unemployment has affected people with lower education levels more than others. They earn considerably less than those with higher degrees. There are 34 economically developed countries in the OECD. Among those countries, the unemployment rate for people with a university education is about five percent. However, the rate is almost twenty percent for 25-34-year olds who do not have a university degree. This situation also exists in developing economies.
在一些地区，失业率的上升对教育水平低的人的影响比其他人更深。这些教育水平低的人所挣得钱远远低于那些拥有更高学位的人。经济合作与发展组织中有34个经济发达的国家。在这些国家中，拥有大学教育水平的人失业率约为5%。但是，25-34岁之间没有大学学位的人几乎占到20%。这种情况在发展中国家也存在。
Andreas Schleicher is the Education and Skills Director for the OECD. He says the finding is a surprise.
安德烈亚斯·施莱科是经合组织中的教育和技能主任。他称，这种发现令人惊讶。
"You can see that in Brazil, you can see that in east Asia. For the countries where we do have the data, it is a pretty common trend. And the recent financial crisis has amplified that trend. Education makes more of a difference in terms of your life chances than it used to," Schleicher said.
施莱科说：“你可以看到在巴西和东亚都是这样的，在我们知道数据的那些国家里也是相当常见的趋势。而且今年的金融危机又加大了这一趋势，而且相比于过去，教育改变人们生活的程度越来越深。”
The report finds that education makes a greater difference for individuals within countries. But it also notes that education is reducing divisions between developed and developing countries. Andreas Schleicher says countries like China, Vietnam and Brazil are making education an important goal. He says they are investing their limited resources to get good teachers and school leaders.
该报告发现，教育使得各个国家的民众有了很大的差异，还指出教育正在缩小发达国家和发展中国家的差异。安德烈亚斯·施莱科称，像中国、越南和巴西这样的国家也将把教育作为它们的重要目标。他称，这些国家正在利用其有限的资源投资于良好的师资力量和学校领导力量。
"What is really interesting when you look at this data: the world is no longer divided between rich and well educated nations, and poor and badly educated ones. Some of these middle-income countries see enormous progress," said Schleicher.
“当你看这些数据时，什么是真正令人感兴趣的呢？那就是全世界不再划分教育水平高的富国和教育水平低的穷国。一些中等收入的国家正在取得巨大的进步。”
The report says education rates are expending faster in many developing countries than in rich ones.
该报告称，在很多发展中国家受教育的比例要比发达国家增长的更快。
The Education at a Glance 2014 report provides detailed information about education in the OECD member states. It also reports on non-member countries including China, India, Colombia, Brazil and Russia.
经合组织在2014年公布的教育概览提供了经合组织成员国关于教育的详细信息，并报告了包括中国、印度、哥伦比亚、巴西和俄罗斯在内的非成员国的教育信息。
