Now, colleges across the United States are facing pressure to put in place educational limits against the country.

The restrictions could affect the exchange of students between the two countries.

And they could end research projects that receive money from universities in the U.S.

他们可能会终止接受美国大学资助的研究项目。

For many American colleges, the first concern has been to bring American students studying in Russia or Ukraine home.

对于许多美国大学来说,首先要考虑的是把在俄罗斯或乌克兰学习的美国学生带回家。

About 1,400 Americans studied in those nations in 2018, but the numbers have dropped sharply during the pandemic.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Middlebury College in Vermont suspended a study abroad program in Russia at the end of February.

Among them was Zavier Ridgley of Tulane University in New Orleans.

新奥尔良杜兰大学的扎维尔·里奇利就是其中之一。

Ridgley said he was sad to leave.

He called the program in Moscow "the opportunity of a lifetime."

Other schools, like Dartmouth College of New Hampshire, are canceling future study programs in Russia.

And some are ending financial and educational ties in the country.

Soon after the invasion, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, said it was ending its partnership with a school in Moscow called Skoltech, an English-language technology university it helped start in 2011.

入侵发生后不久,麻省理工学院表示,其将终止与莫斯科一所名为Skoltech的学校的合作关系,Skoltech是一所由麻省理工学院在2011年帮助创办的英语科技大学。

MIT officials called it a rejection of "the unacceptable military actions against Ukraine."

The University of Colorado said it was giving up all investments, including $3.5 million, in Russia.

The university said it is in "full compliance" with the U.S. restrictions.

The 2021 Open Doors Report said about 5,000 students from Russia studied in the U.S. last year.

In addition, just under 2,000 Ukrainian students were in the U.S.

此外,还有不到2000名乌克兰学生在美国学习。

Following the invasion, a few American lawmakers pushed for visa restrictions against Russian students.

入侵发生之后,一些美国议员推动了对俄罗斯学生实施的签证限制措施。

One even called for sending Russian students home.

甚至有人呼吁将俄罗斯学生遣送回国。

Speaking to CNN last month, Representative Eric Swalwell said the U.S. should consider sending "every Russian student out of the United States."

众议员埃里克·斯瓦尔韦尔上个月在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时表示,美国应该考虑将“所有俄罗斯学生都送出美国”。

Supporters of international education say losing those students would end a chance for them to learn Western ideals.

国际教育的支持者表示,失去这些学生将会终止他们学习西方理想的机会。

They say Russians who study in America are already more likely to want changes back home.

他们说,在美国学习的俄罗斯人更有可能希望回国做出改变。

"Sending anyone back wouldn't shorten the war by a day."

“遣送任何人回去都不会把战争缩短一天。”

That is a concern for Liudmila Fedorova, a professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

这是华盛顿乔治城大学教授柳德米拉·费多洛娃的担忧。

Fedorova was born in Russia and studied in Moscow.

费多洛娃出生于俄罗斯,曾在莫斯科学习。

"It's extremely important not to cut ties with Russia.

不切断与俄罗斯的联系是极其重要的。

And actually, especially now there will be many students from Russia applying for American programs."

实际上,特别是现在会有很多俄罗斯学生申请美国的项目。”

Fedorova told VOA that she worries about the exchange of ideas between the U.S. and Russia if study programs are shut down.

费多洛娃告诉美国之音,如果学习项目被关闭,她担心美国和俄罗斯之间的思想交流。

"I know that the most important thing now is the war in Ukraine, but I am also very much concerned about my friends in Russia who fight for peace, who find themselves in danger. And there is no escape for them."

“我知道现在最重要的是乌克兰战争,但我也非常担心我在俄罗斯为和平而战的朋友,他们发现自己身处险境。他们却无处可逃。”
