翻译下面这两段话
The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas (睡衣). But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course. While dropout rates for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup. In a survey conducted for Cornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.
Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded (升级) systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.

远程教育吸引学生的地方就是首先它很方便,网上就可以学习课程,学生可以穿着睡衣学习.但数据表明,减少努力会导致缺乏对课程的责任感,美国大学新生的缀学率是20%左右,而远程教育学生的缀学率是35%.学生们自己看起来好像也懂得这一内涵,在一份在康奈尔大学远程教育部调查中,只有不到三分一的问卷回答者觉得网络学习的成绩会比课堂学习的成绩好.
很明显地,从学校的发展远景来看,远程教育可以省很多钱,虽然一些更雄心勃勃的项目需要新的服务器和网络方面的投资来支持协作软件,但大部分远程教育课程可以在目前的网络或稍微升极一下系统就能使用.报名参加课程的学生越不想到校园来,学校就可以越多地节约教室的灯光费用,门岗的工资,和停车位.而且,有证据表明,上远程教育课的导师因为各方面原因,会更用心去上好课,不必付更多钱,甚至可以付得更少一点.
