据称，一中国家庭为斯坦福入学名额斥资 650 万美元

From the day in March that prosecutors announced charges against 50 people in a sweeping college admissions fraud investigation, they have held out a tantalizing mystery: an unnamed family that they said had paid the college consultant at the center of the scheme $6.5 million — far more than any of the parents named in the case — to get their child into college.
在三月份的一起大规模高校入学舞弊案调查中，检察官宣布对 50 人提出指控。自指控提出的那天起，他们就留下了一个吸引人的谜团：据说有一个未被指名的家庭向主谋的大学申请顾问支付了 650 万美元，用以把他们的孩子送进大学。这一金额远超任何在案件中被指名的家长的花费。
The student is Yusi Zhao, who was admitted to Stanford in 2017, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation.
据对这起调查有第一手消息的人士称，这名学生叫赵雨思，她于 2017 年被斯坦福大学录取。
At a court hearing in March, the lead prosecutor in the admissions case, Eric S. Rosen, said that college consultant William Singer had tried to get Zhao — whom Rosen did not identify by name — recruited to the Stanford sailing team and created a false profile of her supposed sailing achievements.
在三月的一场庭审中，这起入学丑闻案件的首席检察官埃里克·S·罗森说，大学申请顾问威廉·辛格曾经试图让斯坦福大学的帆船队招收赵雨思（罗森没有指出她的名字），并伪造了她所谓的帆船成就的资历。
She was ultimately not recruited, but Rosen said that she was admitted to Stanford partly on the basis of those false credentials and that, after her admission, Singer made a $500,000 donation to the Stanford sailing program.
尽管赵雨思最终并没有被招入帆船队，但罗森说，这些伪造的资历是她被斯坦福录取的部分原因，而在她入学之后，辛格则向斯坦福的帆船项目捐款了 50 万美元。
Zhao appears to have participated in a recent conference hosted by the Princeton U.S.-China Coalition. Her biography on the group’s website said she was planning to major in Psychology and East Asian Studies and was interested in education policy in China.
赵雨思似乎参加了近期由普林斯顿中美联盟主办的一个论坛。她在主办方网站上的个人简介显示，她正计划主修心理学和东亚研究，并对中国的教育政策感兴趣。
