poaching of talented students 争抢生源

(单词翻译:单击)

Two of Shanghai's leading universities are involved in a fierce dispute over alleged1 poaching of talented students, as competition among universities on the Chinese mainland continues to intensify2.

上海两所著名高校近日卷入争抢生源的口水仗中,大陆高校争抢生源的竞争愈演愈烈。

文中的poaching of talented students就是指“争抢生源”,指的是在高校招生过程中,通过签订“预录取协议”等手段,争抢高分考生。“生源”一般用student pool来表示,这里的talented students指的是各地的“优质生源”。

北大等高校已经开始实行nominations from their headmasters(校长推荐制)以及independent recruitment (自主招生)等新的招生方式,但大多数高校的招生录取制度迟迟不变,导致出现了这些招生乱象。

Poach在这里指的是“挖走人员、挖墙角”,还可以表示“窃取”。比如:Rival investment banks are exploiting the upheaval4 at Morgan Stanley by trying to poach staff and clients.(投资银行竞争对手纷纷利用这次变动“挖墙角”,把目标瞄准了摩根斯坦利的员工和客户。)
