From November 18-22, the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education are celebrating International Education Week (IEW) by encouraging Americans to seek opportunities to study abroad and welcoming international students to study in the United States.  International education makes the United States stronger, forging lasting connections between Americans and peers in other countries, bringing benefits to local communities, and generating knowledge to solve shared challenges.

从11月18日至22日，美国国务院和美国教育部将庆祝国际教育周（IEW），鼓励美国人寻求出国留学的机会，并欢迎国际学生到美国学习。国际教育使美国更加强大，在美国与其他国家的同龄人之间建立起长久的联系，为当地社区带来利益，为解决共同面临的挑战提供知识方法。

During IEW, events at schools, universities and communities across the United States and around the world will focus on the importance of international education in fostering security and economic growth and highlight why more students should experience international education.

在IEW期间，美国与世界各地的中小学校、各大高校、社区的活动聚焦国际教育对促进安全和经济增长的重要性，并强调为什么越来越多的学生应该体验国际教育。

To open IEW, the State Department, in collaboration with the Institute of International Education, released the annual Open Doors report of data and trends in international academic mobility.  In academic year 2018/19, for the fourth year in a row, more than one million international students studied at U.S. institutions of higher education, with an increase of .05 percent over last year.  The number of American students studying abroad also increased by 2.7 percent from the prior year, to 341,751 Americans.

为了开启IEW，美国国务院与国际教育研究所（Institute of International Education）合作发布了《国际学术流动数据与趋势》（open Doors report of data and trends in International academic mobility）年度报告。连续四年，超过100万的国际学生在美国高等教育机构学习，在2018/19学年，人数比上一年增长了0.05%。美国学生出国留学的人数也比去年增加了2.7%，达到341751人。

International students have a major positive impact on American communities, enriching U.S. classrooms with new perspectives, contributing nearly $45 billion to the U.S. economy, and supporting over 455,000 U.S. jobs last year.

国际学生对美国社区产生了重大的积极影响，丰富了美国课堂的新视角，为美国经济贡献了近450亿美元，并与去年为美国提供了超过45.5万个就业岗位。

The State Department’s global network of 435 EducationUSA advising centers in 178 countries promotes U.S. higher education to students around the world by offering accurate, comprehensive, and current information about opportunities to study at accredited postsecondary institutions in the United States.

美国国务院在全球178个国家设有435个美国教育咨询中心，为全世界的学生提供准确、全面和实时的美国高等教育机会信息，以促进美国高等教育的发展。
