游泳與學歷 Swimming Skill and Degree

Many years ago, some scholars were strongly against the certification of English test that was a must for a student to get the degree. So some colleges canceled the rules. But recently, The Chinese first class university announced that swimming skill is necessary for degree. It has been the hot issue, then many people give their opinions.
許多年前，一些學者強烈反對英語證書的考取是學生獲得學位的必須條件。所以一些學校取消了這個規定。但最近，中國一流大學宣佈，游泳技能是獲得學位的必要條件。這引起了人們的熱烈討論，很多人給出了他們的觀點。

On the one hand, some people are favorable of this regulation, because swimming skill is really important. Most of the accidents happened in the river. The swimming skill can protect them from dying. What’s more, foreign schools take the swimming class as the regular lesson. So almost every foreign kid can swim, which is the basic skill.
一方面，有些人贊同這些規定，因爲游泳技能是非常重要的。大多數事故都發生在河裏。游泳技能可以保護他們免受死亡的傷害。更重要的是，國外學校把游泳課設定爲常規的課程。所以幾乎每一個外國小孩都會游泳，這是基本技能。

On the other hand, some people argue that even the student can’t swim, they can’t be denied by lacking the swimming skill. They need the degree to find a job. They are equipped with many skills and are capable of a lot of things. Their ability has nothing to do with swimming skill. 
另一方面，有些人認爲，即使學生不會游泳，也不可能因爲缺乏游泳技能而受到否定。他們需要學位去找工作。他們具備很多別的技能，會做的事情很多。他們的能力與游泳技能無關。

I think that school should open the class for students to learn swimming skill. If they fail, they still can make up by learning other lesson. The degree can be got by many ways. 
我認爲學校應該開設游泳這門課程。如果學生學不會游泳，他們仍然可以通過學習其他課程來彌補。學位的授予可以通過很多方式。
