大学新生遭遇理财危机

Gao Min from the student affairs office of Shenzhen University, however, disagrees. He said that learning to spend and save money is the most pressing lesson for freshmen to gain independence.
而来自深圳大学学生事务处的高民（音译）却并不认同这一观点。他说学会消费以及储蓄是大一新生获得独立的当务之急。

“Experiencing the anxiety and pressure of bad financing is good for students to learn,” said Gao. “Students have been controlled for too long.”
“对于学生而言，能够体验到财务危机带来的那份焦虑与压力并非是坏事，”高民说。“学生们已经以前被管得太久了。”

Some students say that parental control actually causes them more pressure on campus.
一些学生表示，事实上，家长的管控为自己的校园生活更添压力。

Qu Xingxin’s parents request an accounting record of daily expenditures from their son every month. The 19-year-old freshman at Jinan University says it takes a lot of time and energy to record every trivial purchase.
每个月，曲星新（音译）的父母都要求他给出一份记录日常开销的账本。这名来自济南大学的19岁新生表示，记录这些琐碎的开销实在是件既耗时又费力的事。

“I understand that my parents worked hard to support my studies, but I feel that I am still a high school student who has to report everything back to my parents.”
“我理解父母辛辛苦苦供我读书十分不易，但我感觉自己还像是一名高中生，所有事都要向父母汇报。”

Gao suggests that consistency and communication would help both freshmen and parents.
高民表示，言行一致与保持沟通或许可以助新生与家长一臂之力。

“Students need to show parents that they can keep on top of a budget by restraining their spending habits,” said Gao. “But parents need to let go, even if they know their child will experience problems.”
“学生需要让父母知道，他们可以通过控制自己的消费习惯来掌控预算，”高民说。“而家长则应该放开手，即便他们清楚子女不免会遇到一些问题。”

As for Shen’s online shop: She has adapted to college life for the time being and her parents are happy to see that the “monthly expense” price tag is falling.
就拿沈君一的网店来说：她目前已经习惯了大学生活，而她的父母也开心地看到“每月开支”正在降价。

“My mother said taking control of money is my first step into adulthood,” said Shen.
“妈妈说，理财是我迈向成人世界的第一步。”沈君一说道。
