　　小编在此摘录此次特朗普有关中国留学生问题与记者的对话(因原文为现场问答，有部分口语删减)：

　　Q：Many Chinese students have difficulty in this country with their visas. Can you clarify to us —

　　很多中国学生在美国遇到了签证方面的难题。您能为我们澄清吗?

　　特朗普: We＆#39;re going to be very good to Chinese students. I＆#39;ve heard this question many times before, including from our own security people. We want all the people that want to come over from China. We have the greatest university system in the world, and we＆#39;re going to keep it that way. And one of the reasons it＆#39;s great is we have a lot of students from China.

　　我们将会对中国留学生非常好。这个问题我已经听过太多遍，甚至从我们自己的安全人员那里听到。我们想要所有想来美国的中国学生。我们有全世界最棒的教育系统，并且我们将保持这一优势。而我们如此优秀的原因之一是我们拥有大量来自中国的学生。

　　No, we’re not going to make it tough. We’re going to make it right for everybody else. Okay? We’re going to make it — I think that’s important.

　　所以不，我们不会让这件事(赴美求学)变难。它(中国学生赴美读书)不会是一件难事。我们会做到的。我认为这很重要。

　　I think it’s very important. Our universities are available. The world comes in. They use our universities. We have the greatest system in the world. And China is not going to be treated any differently.

　　世界各地的学生来美求学，我们拥有世界上最棒的(教育)系统，我们不会对中国学生区别对待。

　　Our system is open. People get in based on merit. We have incredible talent coming in from China. They occupy a big space in our universities, and we want to keep it that way.

　　我们的系统是开放的，对申请者择优录取。我们有来自中国的优异人才，这些中国学生组成了美国大学的庞大群体，而我们将继续保持这样。

　　Because there was a false — there was false rumors going on that we were going to close the schools to China. That is so false. It’s just false.

　　有谣言说美国大学要对中国学生关门。这是虚假的消息，毫无根据。
