韩越：Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad
Over recent years, the number of the people studying and traveling abroad has increased sharply, followed by many issues in which there are both positive and negative aspects.
近些年来，到海外留学和旅游的人数剧增。随之而来的问题成堆。其中不乏正面与负面的因素。
At first sight, eduction and traveling in foreign countries appear to be entirely beneficial and advantageous, and studying other languages expands and improves our abilities and prospects of employment.
乍看起来，远在异国求学和旅游显得十分有益；学外语又能提高能力，拓展就业的前景。
In addition, by studying or simply by traveling abroad, we can discover many differences in terms of culture, ways of thinking, history and lifestyles. The awareness of these differences makes us more tolerant and open-minded. What’s more, we gain a broader experience of life in general.
况且，通过海外求学和旅行，我们可以在文化、思维方式、历史和生活品位诸方面，找到差异。了解这些差异，能使我们更加包容，心胸更加豁达。而且，在整个人生中，我们得到了丰富的阅历。
On the other hand, it may indeed be true to say that traveling and studying abroad could influence us in a negative way. The experience could be so powerful and the ways of thinking are changed so greatly that they would lose their own cultural tradition. If he or she integrates into the new society, they will certainly meet difficulties when they try to readjust themselves later. Another potential problem is that the traveler and the student may become victims of discrimination and lose their confidence as a result. Since their behaviors and customs are very different from those of the native cultures, they may encounter negative reactions.
另一方面，也许我们真的要承认，旅居海外对我们会带来负面影响。经历越强烈，思维方式越改变，丢失自身文化传统的风险就更大。融入新的社会，定会遇到困难；日后再想调整自己，谈何容易。旅居者还会有一个潜在问题：他们会成为歧视的牺牲品，从而失去信心。既然行为与习俗天壤之别，种族之间必然会发生负面的冲突。
On an overall view, there are many choices and it is for students and travelers to weigh up both sides of the issue and come to their own conclusions.
总体来看，选择是多方面的。这要由学子和旅行者们衡量一个问题的两方面，自己得出结论。
