该文选自《纽约时报》（The New York Times），原题为Near Cambodia's Temple Ruins, a Devotion to Learning

[原文小节-01]：
Millions of tourists come here every year to visit the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, an influx that has helped transform what once a small, laid-back village into a thriving and cosmopolitan town with thumping nightlife and more than 10,000 hotel rooms. But the explosion of the tourism industry here has also done something less predictable. Siem Reap（暹粒）, which had no universities a decade ago, is now Cambodia's second-largest hub for higher education, after the capital, Phnom Penh. The sons and daughters of impoverished rice farmers flock here to work as tour guides,receptionists, bartenders and waitresses. When their shifts are over, they study finance, English and accounting. The establishment of five private universities here is helping to transform the workforce in this part of Cambodia. Employers say English proficiency is rising and that workers who attend universities stand out for their ability to express themselves and make decisions. A generation of students who would otherwise have had little hope to study beyond high school are enduring grueling schedules to get a degree and pursue their dreams.

[参考译文-01]：每年都有数百万计的游客来到吴哥窟古遗址参观。人潮拥挤，让这个昔日悠闲的小村庄变成了今朝繁荣的国际化城镇。这里的夜生活喧嚣热闹，客房数量超过一万间。不过，旅游业的蓬勃发展还造成了某些出人意料的结果。暹粒十年前没有大学，现在已成为柬埔寨第二大高等教育中心，仅次于首都金边。家境贫寒的稻农子女涌入此地，做起了导游、接待员、酒吧招待或服务生；下班后，学起了金融、英语或会计。当地建立的五所私立大学正帮助该地区的劳动力实现转型。雇主们说，英语水平普遍提高，大学生员工的表达能力和决策能力更为出众。原本上完高中没希望继续深造的一代，正在苦读学位，追寻自己的梦想。

[原文小节-02]：
Khim Borin(金波林)，a 26-hear-old tour guide by day and law student by night, says he wants to be a lawyer. But he sometimes has trouble staying awake in class during the high tourist season, when he spends hours scaling vertiginous temple steps and baking in the tropical sun. There was no master plan for work and study here. It was driven largely by supply and demand: universities opened to cater to the dreams of Cambodia's youth and flexible hours offered in sync with the rhythms of the tourist industry. "After graduation, students who work and study at the same time often have an edge over fresh graduates who have never worked before, for whom starting a career can be difficult," said manager Ms.Chan. University students are "more communicative," she said. "If they don't like something, they speak out." Ms.Chan and others say they are lucky that Angkor's temples have proved so popular with tourists. If it were not for the sandstone structures nestled in the jungles, Siem Reap probably have remained a backwater. Last year, 3.3 million tourists visited Siem Reap, half of them foreigners, according to the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism.

[自译练习-02]：金波林，一个26岁的导游，他白天是导游，晚上则是一个学习法律的学生，他说他想成为一名律师。但是在旅游旺季，他在课堂上想保持清醒是很困难的一件事。旅游旺季的时候，他需要在令人眩晕的寺庙中度过很多时间，并且在热带的太阳底下暴晒。这里并没有工作或学习的主计划。这主要有供需两端来决定：大学是为了迎合柬埔寨年轻一代的梦想而开的，与此同时，灵活的时间表，则是因为要同步配合旅游业。“毕业以后，同时工作和学习的学生，比从来没有工作过的学生，更有优势。”，陈女士，一位经理如此评价，“如果他们不喜欢什么，他们会说出来。”，陈女士和其他的一些人都说，他们觉得自己是幸运的，要不是因为吴哥窟的砂岩结构是坐落在丛林里，否则吴哥窟的庙宇不会如此地受到游客的欢迎，那样的话暹粒省可能还是闭塞落后的地方。根据柬埔寨旅游部的统计，去年一共有三百三十万游客访问了暹粒省，其中有一半是外国人。

[参考译文-02]：金波林今年26岁，白天当导游，晚上学法律。他说，自己想成为律师。但在旅游旺季，在热带骄阳下暴晒数小时，攀登陡峭的寺庙台阶，上课时难免犯困。当地这种半工半读的机制并非源自什么总体规划，而主要是供需关系驱动的产物：开办大学是为了满足柬埔寨青年人的梦想，安排弹性学时是为了适应旅游业的节奏。经理陈女士说：“毕业后，应届生没有工作经验，对不喜欢的事直言不讳”。陈女士等人庆幸吴哥窟庙宇深受游客喜爱。如果不是这些坐落在丛林里的砂岩建筑，暹粒可能至今还是个与世隔绝的地方。据柬旅游部统计，去年有330万游客前来观光，其中半数为外国人。
