在美国曝出知名高校招生舞弊案后，英国传出入学材料作假情况。英国《泰晤士报》17日报道，去年有4500多人涉嫌申请入学时抄袭别人的个人陈述。欧美国家高校通常要求申请人撰写个人陈述，阐述自己取得的成绩、申请动机等内容。英国高等院校招生委员会用一款名为copycatch的防学术欺诈软件查到，去年有4559人的个人陈述文件内容可疑。

Following the heels of well-known colleges and universities in the United States were exposed of fraudulent admissions, UK reported similar school admissions fraud. The Times reported on the 17th that more than 4,500 people were suspected of copying admissions essays at the time of enrollment. Colleges and universities in Europe and the United States usually require applicants to write college admissions essays, explaining their achievements, motivations, and so on. The UK College Admissions Committee used an anti-academic fraud software called copycatch. Last year, 4,559 people's personal statements were suspicious.

虽然我对教授这个行业没有什么成见但我还是觉得做学术研究的人来搞生意恐怕会太理想化。

Although I don't really have preconceptions towards the academic professions, I still feel that getting an academic to do business is over idealising the situation.

你们也体谅体谅老师。老师们的主要任务是教授知识，培养大家的学术素养和实际技能。一心只想着出去赚钱，不是本末倒置嘛，教授能不寒心吗？

You also need to cut the teachers some slack. The teachers' primary job is to impart knowledge and foster academic achievement and technical mastery. Focusing solely on thinking about how to make money, isn't that just putting the cart before the horse? Do you think the professors aren't hurt by this?

当然，广义的人类学不仅研究人类，还研究社会，民族，语言等方面的发展。比如亨利教授的研究方向就是国家的起源和发展，他的著作在整个人类学的学术界都产生巨大的影响。

Of course it is. Anthropology in a broad sense is the study of society, ethnicity, language and a lot of other things besides just human beings. Professor Claessen is an expert in the study of the origin of nation states and their development. His papers and books have had enormous influence in academia.

没错。他��次的学术报告题为《早期国家研究》。我得赶紧去占位子，迟了可就没位子坐了。

Exactly. His speech is titled ''Study of the Early Nation States". I have to grab a seat now or there will be none left.

哎，这个老宋怎么这么糊涂呢？现在学校严打学术抄袭，他还顶风作案。这......这也太不值得了。

Agh, how could Professor Song be so confused? These days, schools are cracking down hard on academic plagiarism, and he still did this so blatantly. This...this...really isn't worth it!

我知道，我也尊重他。其实我也觉得宋教授没理由抄袭。但是我帮他校对的时候，发现好多内容都是从国外的学术刊物上抄来的。

I know. And I also respect him. Actually, I also think there's no reason for Professor Song to plagiarize. But when I was helping him proof-read, I discovered that a lot of his content was lifted from foreign academic publications.

可你也知道，我们文科这方面的界限比较模糊。老宋在系里和校里都是德高望重的老前辈了，他的学术态度是公认的。

But you know as well as I do, the limits are a little blurry for us in the humanities. In the department, and in the school as a whole, Professor Song is a well-admired and respected member of the old generation. Everyone acknowledges that his academic attitude is excellent.
