Declining Morals
世風日下
James Karge Taylor was astonished at the rampant cheating taking place in his jazz-history class at the University of Arizona. Students looked over each other's shoulders, devised coughing codes to communicate to friends, and flashed answers on the backs of their hands while pretending to stretch.
詹姆斯#8226;卡基#8226;泰勒對亞利桑那大學的爵士音樂史課上發生的猖獗的作弊行為很是震驚。學生們左顧右盼,想用咳嗽進行暗號交流,趁假裝伸懶腰的時候,手在后面比劃答案。
He once caught one student using his cell phone to send answers to a friend's pager. The code \"54*2\", for instance, meant the answer to question 54 was B. Karge Taylor kicked them out of his classroom and gave both an F.
他曾經抓住了一名用手機發送答案到朋友傳呼機的學生。例如代碼“54*2”,就代表第54題的答案是B。卡基#8226;泰勒把他們趕出了教室并給了他們F。
At small Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa, philosophy professor Heather Reid discovered cheating in, of all places, her introductory ethics class. Two students turned in homework assignments that were almost identical. Reid reported the incident to the academic dean, leading to an investigation. One student was suspended and given an F for the course.
在位于愛荷華州蘇市的莫寧賽學院,哲學教授希瑟#8226;雷德發現在她的倫理學導論課中作弊行為無處不在。兩名學生交來的家庭作業幾乎完全相同。雷德將此事報告給教務長,一場調查由此展開。一名學生被給予停課處理并在該科得F。

Incidents such as these are all too common. In recent years many colleges and universities have reported a surge in plagiarism, unauthorized collusion on assignments and cheating on tests.
像這樣的事件太尋常不過了。近年來許多學院和大學報道出的剽竊、作業“合作”以及考試作弊都在不斷上升。
In research conducted at 31 schools over the past decade, Rutgers University professor Donald McCabe has found that nearly 70 percent of students admit to cheating at some point during college, with over 15 percent reporting that they were, in McCabe's words, \"serious, repetitive cheaters.\"
根據過去十年間在31所學校中開展的調查顯示,羅格斯大學教授唐納德#8226;麥卡比發現將近70%的學生承認在大學期間都在一定程度上作過弊,用麥卡比的話說,有超過15%的學生是不折不扣的作弊專家。

While this surge has been blamed on many factors, including a declining emphasis on moral values in the home and school, without question it's never been easier to cheat. With the Internet, students have access to a treasure-trove of information they can pinch without proper attribution. \"There's a cowboy feeling about the Internet that the information is out there for everybody to use as they see fit,\" says Michele Goldfarb, director of the Office of Student Conduct at the University of Pennsylvania.
然而作弊之風被歸咎于諸多因素,包括家庭、學校道德觀的下降,毫無疑問,現在想要作弊實在是太容易了。有了互聯網,學生們對任何信息都能信手拈來。賓夕法尼亞大學學生處主任米歇爾說:“互聯網就像個牛仔一樣,英雄不問出處,上面的信息只要覺得合適誰都可以用。”
In a composition class, University of Texas instructor Sharan Daniel asked students to write an evaluative argument, which could include reviewing a contemporary film. One student chose a Bruce Willis movie.
在作文課上,得克薩斯大學的教師莎朗#8226;丹尼爾要求學生寫一篇評價性質的議論文,其中可能會涉及一部當代影片的影評。……
