三大院校藝考啓動:將看重考生英語素質

The Beijing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Drama and Communication University of China – regarded as influential incubators for future showbiz talent – began second-round tests on Monday. The examinations will run through early March.

被稱爲培育未來娛樂圈人才搖籃的北京電影學院、中央戲劇學院和中國傳媒大學三所院校於本週一開始了第二輪面試。據悉，面試將會持續到今年三月初。

Reaching a new high, the Beijing Film Academy saw 30,400 applicants competing for 467 seats, a year-on-year increase of 23.4 percent.

今年藝考考生人數達到了歷史新高，北京電影學院報考人數比去年增長23.4%，共有30400考生爲467個錄取名額展開競爭。

Admission officers at the two other institutions told China Daily that their numbers were similar to those of last year. While the Central Academy of Drama received 29,533 applicants to vie for 573 seats, Communication University of China got 27,299 to compete for 756 places.

另外兩所高校負責招生的老師對中國日報表示，今年學校的報考人數和去年相當。其中中央戲劇學院共有29533名報考考生，計劃錄取人數爲573人；而報考中國傳媒大學的27299名考生將會競爭756個錄取名額。

The fiercest competition involves performance majors. Communication University of China received 4,297 such applications for 26 seats, or 165 applications per seat, while the figure for the Beijing Film Academy's acting applicants reached 170 per seat.

在所有專業中，表演專業競爭最激烈。中國傳媒大學4297名報考考生將會競爭僅有的26個名額，錄取率只有1/165。而北京電影學院的錄取率也僅爲1/170。

Although China's national college entrance exam, or gaokao, reportedly will not include English in the future, the Beijing Film Academy still highlights its expectation for students' foreign language scores.

據報道，雖然未來中國高考將不再包括英語科目，但是北京電影學院仍然非常重視考生的外語分數。

"It's not against the policies, but a solution to meet the changing demands for talent education and the movie markets – both domestically and internationally – in the next five to 10 years," said Mu Deyuan, the academy's dean of studies.

北京電影學院教務處處長穆德遠說道：“我們並不是有悖教育政策，而是爲了滿足未來五到十年內人才教育和中國乃至國際電影市場的不斷變化的需求，”
