A university has apologised after it came under fire for an email on exam cheating that appeared to single out Chinese students.

英国一所大学因为在一封关于考试作弊的邮件中针对中国学生遭到抨击而道歉。

The University of Liverpool sent the note about exam conduct to all its international students ahead of January tests – but the institution only translated the word “cheating” into Chinese.

利物浦大学在1月考试之前向所有国际学生发送了关于考试行为的说明 - 但他们只将“作弊”一词翻译成中文。

The email, which has been deemed “racist”, said: “We find that our Chinese students are usually unfamiliar with the word.”

这封被视为“种族歧视”的邮件说：“我们发现我们的中国学生通常不熟悉这个词。”

More than 1,200 students signed a petition calling on the university to make a public apology over the “racially discriminative” message from the institution's international advice and guidance team.

超过1,200名学生签署了一份请愿书，呼吁该大学就国际咨询和指导团队的“种族歧视”信息公开道歉。

In a letter posted on Facebook, Professor Janet Beer, vice chancellor of the University of Liverpool, said: “It was wholly inappropriate and I apologise wholeheartedly for the offence it has caused.”

在Facebook上发布的一封声明信中，利物浦大学副校长珍妮特·比尔教授说：“这种行为非常不合适，我全心全意地为它所造成的伤害道歉。
