According to a study of Race & Equity in Education, black athletes are dropping out of college across the country at alarming rates.
根據(jù)《教育中的種族與公平》的一項研究，全國的大學黑人運動員的輟學率驚人。
With us to talk about the findings in the study is Washington Post columnist Kevin Blackstone.
和我們一起討論這個研究發(fā)現(xiàn)的是《華盛頓郵報》的專欄作家凱文·布萊克斯通
Good morning! Good morning. How are you? Fine, thank you.
早上好！早上好。你好嗎？我很好，謝謝。
What is new that you found in this study?
你在這項研究中有什么新發(fā)現(xiàn)嗎？
Well, this is Shaun Harper's study.
那個，這是肖恩·哈珀的研究。
And he points out that on major college campuses across the country, black males make up less than 3 percent of undergraduate enrollments.
他指出，在全國主要的大學里，男性黑人大學生的入學人數(shù)不到百分之三。
Yet, when you look at their numbers or percentages on the revenue-generating sports teams of football and basketball,
但當你調(diào)查他們在產(chǎn)生收益的橄欖球和籃球運動隊中的人數(shù)或比例的時候，
they make up well into 50-60 percent of those team.
他們的人數(shù)占了百分之五十至百分之六十。
So the idea is that they are really there to be part of the revenue-generating working class of athletes on campus,
那也就是說，他們上大學實際上是為了成為產(chǎn)生收益的工人階層運動員，
and not necessarily there to be part of the educating class as most students in other groups are.
而不一定是像其他集體里的大部分學生那樣，上大學是為了接受大學教育。
Compared with other groups, I think the numbers in this group at those 65 schools are something like just barely more than half of the black male athletes graduate at all.
與其他集體相比，我認為在那65所大學中，這樣的集體里往往有一半多的黑人男性運動員都沒畢業(yè)。
Exactly. And what's really bad about this is these athletes are supposedly promised at least one thing as reward for all their blood and sweat.
確實如此。這個問題的真正糟糕之處是這些運動員本應(yīng)該至少得到一件東西來作為他們辛勤付出的獎勵。
And that is a college degree, which can be a transformative tool in our society when you talk about upward mobility.
那件東西就是大學學位，當你談到向更高層社會流動的時候，它可能就是我們社會的變革工具。
And that's really the troubling part about this.
那才是這個問題真正令人擔憂的地方。
Well, this has been talked about so much, really, in recent years.
嗯，近年來，人們常常談到這個問題。
Why hasn't changed?
為什么沒有得到改變？
Well, I think one of the reasons it hasn't changed is because there is really no economic pressure to change this.
那個，我認為沒有得到改變的原因之一是沒有真正改變這個問題的經(jīng)濟壓力。
All of the incentive is really on winning and not losing on the field or on the court.
所有的誘因?qū)嶋H上是球場上只能贏不能輸。
Coaches do not necessarily have the incentive to graduate players.
教練們都不一定能激勵運動員完成學業(yè)。
Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
問題5到8是基于你剛才所聽到的那段對話。
Question 5: What are the speakers talking about?
問題5：說話者在談?wù)撌裁矗?/div>
Question 6: What is the new finding about black male athletes in the study?
問題6：這項研究中，有關(guān)黑人男性運動員的新發(fā)現(xiàn)是什么？
Question 7: What is the graduation rate of black male athletes?
問題7：黑人男性運動員的畢業(yè)率是多少？
Question 8: What accounts for black athletes' failure to obtain a college degree according to the man?
問題8：對話中的男士認為黑人運動員沒能獲得大學學位的原因是什么？
