奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

In an investigation conducted to ascertain exact figures and facts which a poor boy must meet in working his way through college, it was found that, in a list of forty-five representative colleges and universities, having a student population of somewhat over forty thousand, the average expense per year is three hundred and four dollars; the average maximum expense, five hundred and twenty-nine dollars. In some of the smaller colleges the minimum expense per year is from seventy-five dollars to one hundred and ten dollars. There are many who get along on an expenditure of from one hundred and fifty dollars to two hundred dollars per year, while the maximum expense rises in but few instances above one thousand dollars.

白话

有人做过调查,想弄清楚穷学生靠打工读大学到底要面对多少具体开销。结果发现,在45所有代表性的大学里,学生总数四万多人,平均每年花费304美元,平均最高花费529美元。一些规模较小的学院,每年最低只要75到110美元。很多人每年花150到200美元就能过下来,最高花费也很少超过1000美元。

上下文

马登引用当时一项针对45所高校的调查数据,用具体数字打消穷学生对大学费用的恐惧。

今日一问

你有没有因为“听说很贵”就放弃某件事,而其实从没认真查过真实数字?
