Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.

When people in developing countries worry about migration, they are usually concerned at the prospect of their best and brightest departure to Silicon Valley or to hospitals and universities in the developed world. These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain, Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates. Lots of studies have found that well-educated people from developing countries are particularly likely to emigrate. A big survey of Indian households in 2004 found that nearly 40% of emigrants had more than a high-school education, compared with around 3.3% of all Indians over the age 25. This "brain drain" has long bothered policymakers in poor countries. They fear that it hurts their economies, depriving them of much-needed skilled workers who could have taught at their universities, worked in their hospitals and come up with clever new products for their factories to make. - 13 -
参考译文

当发展中国家的人们担忧移民问题时,他们通常关注的是自己最优秀、最聪明的人才离开前往硅谷或发达国家医院和大学的前景。这些正是英国、加拿大和澳大利亚等国家试图通过优待大学毕业生的移民规则来吸引的那类劳动者。大量研究发现,来自发展中国家受过良好教育的人尤其可能移民。2004年对印度家庭的一项大规模调查发现,近40%的移民拥有高中以上的学历,相比之下,25岁以上的所有印度人中这一比例约为3.3%。这种人才流失长期以来一直困扰着贫困国家的决策者。他们担心这会损害本国经济,使他们失去急需的技能劳动者,这些人原本可以在大学任教、在医院工作,或者为工厂研发出精巧的新产品。
