Near Cambodia's Temple Ruins, a Devotion to Learning

走进破败的柬埔寨庙宇，感受学习的热情。

Millions of tourists come here every year to visit the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, an influx that

has

helped

transform

what

once

resembled

a

small,

laid-back

village

into

a

thriving

and

cosmopolitan town with thumping nightlife and more than 10,000 hotel rooms.

每年，

都有数以百万计的游客造访吴 哥窟，

以观赏当地古老的历史遗迹，

而这个游客聚居之

地，也一改往日偏僻村落的闲适之常态，一举成为一座经济发展呈迅猛之势的国际化城镇。

一万间宾馆客房拔地而起，赋予游客激情四射的夜生活。

But the explosion of the tourism industry here has also done something less predictable. Siem

Reap, which had no universities a decade ago, is now Cambodia’s second

-largest hub for higher

education, after the capital, Phnom Penh.

但是，

吴哥窟旅游业的 爆棚式发展，

也取得了某些意料之外的成果。十年前，暹粒还是一片

学术的不毛之地，

而今，

暹粒已发展壮大成为柬埔寨第二大 高等教育中心，

高等院校规模仅

次于首都金边。

The

sons

and

daughters

of

impoverished

rice

farmers

flock

here

to

work

as

tour

guides,

receptionists, bartenders and waitresses. When their shifts are over, they study finance, English

and accounting.

来自贫困稻农家的儿女们，

一股脑地 涌向暹粒。

他们在这里要么做导游，

要么从事接待工作；

要么做调酒师，

从事服务生的活计。

每及轮班 结束后，他们便会一头扎进金融、英语和会计

的学习之中。

The establishment of five private universities here is helping to transform the work force in this

part of Cambodia. Employers say that English proficiency is rising and that workers who attend

universities stand out for their ability to express themselves and make decisions. A generation of

students

who

would

otherwise

have

had

little

hope

to

study

beyond

high

school

are enduring

grueling schedules to get a degree and pursue their dreams.

暹粒设立的五 所私立大学，

正为改观当地的劳动人口推波助澜。

老板们表示，

员工的英语水

平正在飞跃，接受高等教育的员工能表达自己的意 愿，然后作出相应的决策，从而，也就容

易在职场中脱颖而出。

这一代学生本未对在高中毕业后继续深造寄予厚望，

而现在，

他 们正

在努力地完成繁重的学业，以期获得学位，追寻梦想。

Khim Borin, a 26-year-old tour guide by day and law student by night, says he wants to become a

lawyer. But he sometimes has trouble staying awake in class during the high tourist season, when

he spends hours scaling vertiginous temple steps and baking in the tropical sun.

时年

26

岁的金?波林，白天做导游，晚上却是一名主修法律 的学生。

波林声称，

他梦想成为

一名律 师。

然而，在旅游的旺季，他每天都要爬上那令人晕眩的神庙台阶，

且还不得不在热

带阳光的炙烤下暴晒数个小时，这不免让他在晚间的课堂上心力交瘁 。

But the symbiosis of work and study here came together without any master plan.

而在暹粒，工作与学习相得益彰，并无任何的总体规划。

It

was

driven

largely

by

supply

and

demand:

universities

opened

to

cater

to

the

dreams

of

Cambodia’s youth —

and offered flexible hours in sync with the rhythms of the tourist industry.

供求关系是其中最主要的推动因素：

开办大学就是要为柬埔寨的年轻人实现夙愿，

按照旅游

业的工作 节奏，灵活地设置学习课时。

After graduation, students who work and study at the same time often have an edge over fresh

graduates who have never worked before, for whom starting a career can be difficult, Ms. Chan

and

others

say.

University

students

are

“more

communicative,”

she

said.

“If

they

don’t

like

something, they speak out.”

陈女士和其他人皆表示，

相较于那些 没有工作经验的应届生，

半工半读的学生往往在毕业后

有着更大 的优势，

那些从未工作过的学生在其职业生涯的起始阶段总难免挫折。

< br>陈女士还认

为，

“大学生‘与人交流起来更加坦率’

。对于不喜之事物，他们定会和盘托出。

”

Ms.

Chan

and

others

say

they

are

lucky

that

Angkor’s

temples

have

proved

so

popular

with

tourists.

If

it

were

not

for

the

sandstone

structures

nestled

in

the

jungles,

Siem

Reap

would

probably

have

remained

a

backwater.

Last

year,

3.3

million

tourists

visited

Siem

Reap,

half

of

them foreigners, according to the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism.

陈女士等人还说，

吴哥窟神庙能如此 地备受游客追捧，

那是多么地幸运倍至。

若不是出于这
