中山大學禁止社會人士入內 進門要出示有效證件

Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province, has reportedly started denying residents access to the campus and requiring its students to present valid student cards before they can enter.

據報道，位於中國南部廣東省廣州市的中山大學，從日前開始已經拒絕民衆進入校園，並且要求該校學生在進入校園之前出示有效學生卡。

As more universities choose to open their campus to the public, Sun Yat-Sen University seems to have decided to go the opposite way.

就在越來越多的大學選擇對民衆開放校園之際，中山大學看似已經決定要逆其道而行了。

It is reported that an alumni who wanted to use the university's library was also denied entry to the campus, because he or she was no longer in possession of a valid student card.

據報道，一名想要使用學校圖書館的校友因不再持有有效學生卡，也被拒之校外。

However, the university's claim that the move is to prevent "unexpected incidents". It said the decision to shut its door has a lot to do with the security risks revealed by some recent incidents.

不過，中山大學方面聲稱，此舉是爲了防止“意外事故”。該校表示，閉門決定與近期一些事故揭露的安全風險有很大關係。

Earlier this month a possible psychopath barged into a classroom with red banners around his body; a few days later an unknown man intervened in another seminar and attempted to make an improper speech.

本月早些時候，一名疑似的精神病患者全身裹着紅色橫幅闖進一間教室；而幾天之後，一名陌生男子干涉另外一場研討會，並且試圖發表一些不當言論。

In truth, criticizing the university and comparing it unfavorably with some fenceless Western universities such as Yale University, is uncalled for.

事實上，批評中山大學、不合時宜地將其與耶魯大學這種沒有圍牆的西方大學作比較是不可取的。

Take for example Yale University, which has a dispersed campus, having expanded from a small swath of land it bought in the city center, so not all its buildings are within a closed campus. The management has to involve neighboring communities instead of building up fences.

以耶魯大學爲例，該校校園分散，從其在市中心購買的一小塊土地開始延伸，因此該校的建築並不在一個封閉的校園內。其管理不得不與臨近社區相關聯，而非修建圍牆。

Chinese universities, though, should be careful before imposing restrictions on access to their campuses as it will do little to keep real criminals at bay.

中國大學在實施入校限制之前應該格外小心，因爲這對於使真正的罪犯遠離效果不大。

Deploying a lot of manpower at the school gates might mean fewer campus patrols presenting more opportunities to intruders.

將很多人力部署在校門口，可能意味着校園巡邏更少了，這就給了入侵者更多機會。
