    School District Housing 学区房 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    今天我们聊聊学区房 Jīntiān wǒmen liáoliáo xuéqūfáng Today, let's talk about school district housing.   我想很多国家都有学区房的概念吧 Wǒ xiǎng hěnduō guójiā dōu yǒu xuéqūfáng de gàiniàn ba I think many countries have the concept of school district housing.   也就是说你买了这个地段的房子 Yě jiù shì shuō nǐ mǎi le zhège dìduàn de fángzi That is to say, if you buy a house in this area,   你的孩子就读这旁边的学校 Nǐ de háizi jiù dú zhè pángbiān de xuéxiào your child will attend the school nearby.   当然贵的房子对应着好学校 Dāngrán guì de fángzi duìyìng zhe hǎo xuéxiào Of course, expensive houses correspond to good schools,   差的住宅区对应着差的学校 Chà de zhùzhái qū duìyìng zhe chà de xuéxiào and poor residential areas correspond to poor schools.   现在中国很多城市都在试点取消学区房 Xiànzài Zhōngguó hěnduō chéngshì dōu zài shìdiǎn qǔxiāo xuéqūfáng Now, many cities in China are piloting the cancellation of school district housing.   试点的意思就是在个别区域测试 Shìdiǎn de yìsi jiù shì zài gèbié qūyù cèshì A pilot means testing in specific areas.   像在成都 Xiàng zài Chéngdū For example, in Chengdu,   有一些区域实行的是“划片” Yǒu yīxiē qūyù shíxíng de shì "huàpiàn" some areas implement the "zoning" system.   意思是这方圆几公里内的小区 Yìsi shì zhè fāngyuán jǐ gōnglǐ nèi de xiǎoqū It means that residential complexes within a radius of several kilometers,   一起摇这几公里内的几所学校 Yīqǐ yáo zhè jǐ gōnglǐ nèi de jǐ suǒ xuéxiào together participate in the lottery for several schools within those kilometers.   我一直没有找到“小区”对应的英语 Wǒ yìzhí méiyǒu zhǎodào "xiǎoqū" duìyìng de Yīngyǔ I have never found an exact English equivalent for "xiǎoqū" (residential complex).   小区的意思是一个独立的住宅区 Xiǎoqū de yìsi shì yīgè dúlì de zhùzhái qū A "xiǎoqū" refers to an independent residential area.   通常一个小区会有围栏围起来 Tōngcháng yīgè xiǎoqū huì yǒu wéilán wéi qǐlái Usually, a "xiǎoqū" is enclosed by fences.   小的小区有一两栋楼 Xiǎo de xiǎoqū yǒu yī liǎng dòng lóu A small "xiǎoqū" has one or two buildings,   而大的小区可以有几十栋楼 Ér dà de xiǎoqū kěyǐ yǒu jǐ shí dòng lóu while a large one can have dozens of buildings,   容纳数万人 Róngnà shù wàn rén accommodating tens of thousands of people.   刚才说的“摇”,指的是“摇号” Gāngcái shuō de "yáo", zhǐ de shì "yáohào" The "yáo" (lottery) mentioned just now refers to "yáohào" (random selection via lottery).   就像用电脑抽奖一样 Jiù xiàng yòng diànnǎo chōujiǎng yīyàng It's like a computerized lottery draw.   这样看起来比较公平了 Zhèyàng kàn qǐlái bǐjiào gōngpíng le This seems more fair.   但是还是有一些问题 Dànshì háishì yǒu yīxiē wèntí But there are still some problems.   比如说,你家旁边几百米就有一个学校 Bǐrú shuō, nǐ jiā pángbiān jǐ bǎi mǐ jiù yǒu yīgè xuéxiào For example, there is a school just a few hundred meters away from your home,   却摇到了3公里外的学校 Què yáo dào le 3 gōnglǐ wài de xuéxiào but you end up drawing a school 3 kilometers away.   你得带着你的小孩每天往返3公里 Nǐ děi dài zhe nǐ de xiǎohái měitiān wǎngfǎn 3 gōnglǐ You have to take your child to and from school, traveling 3 kilometers round trip every day.   这是大家吐槽较多的问题 Zhè shì dàjiā tǔcáo jiào duō de wèntí This is a problem that many people complain about.   我家的房子旁边就有一个小学 Wǒ jiā de fángzi pángbiān jiù yǒu yīgè xiǎoxué There is a primary school right next to my house.   我们这里没有实行“划片” Wǒmen zhèlǐ méiyǒu shíxíng "huàpiàn" The "zoning" system is not implemented here,   所以按规定,我们就是读这个学校 Suǒyǐ àn guīdìng, wǒmen jiù shì dú zhège xuéxiào so according to the rules, this is the school my child should attend.   而且只能读这个学校 Érqiě zhǐ néng dú zhège xuéxiào In fact, it's the only school my child can attend.   但是这片区域的人群不太理想 Dànshì zhè piàn qūyù de rénqún bù tài lǐxiǎng However, the demographic in this area is not ideal.   学校虽然硬件不错 Xuéxiào suīrán yìngjiàn bùcuò Although the school's hardware (facilities) is good,   但软件上不是好学校 Dàn ruǎnjiàn shàng bù shì hǎo xuéxiào When it comes software,it’s not a good school.   也就是老师、学生、教育理念、成绩排名等等 Yě jiù shì lǎoshī、xuéshēng、jiàoyù lǐniàn、chéngjì páimíng děngděng This includes aspects like teachers, students, educational philosophy, academic rankings, and so on.
