Passage One
段落一
Russell Fazio, an Ohio State psychology professor who has studied interracial roommates there and at Indiana University, discovered an intriguing academic effect.
俄亥俄州立大學的心理學教授羅素·法齊奧在本校和印第安納大學研究跨種族混居問題，并發現了一個有趣的現象。
In a study analyzing data on thousands of Ohio State freshmen who lived in dorms, he found that black freshmen who came to college with high standardized test scores earned better grades if they had a white roommate — even if the roommate's test scores were low.
在分析成千上萬名俄亥俄州立大學新生住宿時，他發現以高分錄取的黑人新生在與白人為室友的時候會取得更好的成績，即使室友的成績很低。
The roommate's race had no effect on the grades of white students or low-scoring black students.
室友的種族不會影響白人學生或低分的黑人學生的成績。
Perhaps, the study speculated, having a white roommate helps academically prepared black students adjust to a predominantly white university.
該研究推測，也許有一個白人室友可以幫助成績好的黑人學生適應以白人為主的大學生活。
That same study found that randomly assigned interracial roommates at Ohio State broke up before the end of the quarter about twice as often as same-race roommates.
在俄亥俄州大學同樣的研究發現，隨機組合的室友經過三個月的時間后，不同人種鬧翻的比例大約是同人種的兩倍。
Because interracial roommate relationships are often problematic, Dr. Fazio said, many students would like to move out, but university housing policies may make it hard to leave.
法齊奧博士說，跨種族的室友關系問題很多，許多學生想搬出去，但是學校的住宿政策讓他們難以離開。
“At Indiana University, where housing was not so tight, more interracial roommates split up,” he said. “Here at Ohio State, where housing was tight, they were told to work it out.
他說：“印第安納大學的住房不是很緊張，很多跨種族的室友都分開住了。但是俄亥俄州立大學的住房緊張，他們被告知要努力解決問題。”
The most interesting thing we found was that if the relationship managed to continue for just 10 weeks, we could see an improvement in racial attitudes.”
有趣的是，我們發現如果這種關系努力維持10周后，種族問題就會有改善。
Dr. Fazio's Indiana study found that three times as many randomly assigned interracial roommates were no longer living together at the end of the semester, compared with white roommates.
法齊奧博士的印第安納大學研究發現跨種族的室友在學期結束后不再住在一起的可能性是兩個白人室友的三倍。
The interracial roommates spent less time together, and had fewer joint activities than the white pairs.
跨種族的室友在一起的時間很少，而且他們很少像白人室友一樣參加共同活動。
