Foreign student enrollments sink
美国国际学生人数降18%
The COVID-19 pandemic and a flurry of immigration-related directives from the last administration devastated enrollment of international students at US schools in 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported.
《华尔街日报》报道称，由于新冠疫情肆虐，以及上届美国政府实施了一系列针对移民的严苛政策，2020年美国国际学生注册人数出现大幅下降。
The number of international students fell by 18% last year, to 1.25 million, according to a new tally by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
根据美国入境和海关执法局学生及交流学者部门的最新统计，2020年在美国各级学校注册的国际学生人数与上年相比下降了18%，减至125万名。
Visa records for newly enrolled students tumbled by 72%, and F-1 student visas went down by more than 90% in August 2020, when the new school year started, according to the Journal.
在2020年8月新学年开始时，新入学学生的签证数量下降了72%，F-1学生签证的数量下降了90%以上。
It is no sure thing next year will look much better, as many consulates and embassies remain closed or are processing visas only on an emergency basis.
这一状况估计在未来一年内难以好转，因为美国驻多国的使领馆仍处于关闭状态，或仅在紧急情况下才办理签证业务。
As of March 1, 43 out of 223 consular posts were operating at full capacity, according to the US State Department.
美国国务院的数据显示，截至3月1日，美国全球223家领事机构中，只有43家保持正常开放状态。
