“自费学生”常见的英文表达是 “self-financed student” 或 “self-paying student”。
“self-financed student” 强调学生自行筹集资金支付学费及相关费用,在学术交流、教育政策讨论等场景中较为常用。
“self-paying student” 更侧重于表达学生自己支付费用这一行为,在日常交流、学校招生宣传等场景中也可能使用。
例如:
The university offers a limited number of scholarships, and most students are self-financed.(这所大学提供的奖学金数量有限,大多数学生都是自费生。)
We welcome both self-paying students and those with scholarships.(我们欢迎自费学生和获得奖学金的学生。)
