扔女孩事件令在华外国人形象再受打击

在一名外籍教师在泳池内扔五岁女孩的事件发生之后，在华外国人受到的密切注视恐怕不会马上消失。

A police station in Jinan, the capital of China's eastern Shandong province, said on its official account on Sina Corp.'s Weibo microblogging service that the teacher worked at the Shandong University of Finance and Economics and that the girl wasn't hurt. It said the teacher, which it identified as a New Zealander named Phillips, had apologized and paid unspecified compensation.

山东省济南市公安局通过新浪微博官方账号“济南公安”说，这名教师在山东财经任外教，被扔女孩没有受伤。“济南公安”称，这名外教是新西兰籍，名叫菲利浦斯，并表示他已经道歉并赔偿，赔偿数额不详。

Still, accounts of the incident surged this week on themost-searched-topic list of China's Baidu.com search engine and on the Sina Weibo microblogging service, putting a spotlight on negative sentiments towards foreigners in China.

但对事件的描述在本周百度和新浪最热搜索词汇排行榜上的位置急剧上升，令中国民众对在华外国人的负面情绪得以凸显。

"Why can such foreign trash become a teacher in a Chinese university?" one comment read.

一条评论说：为什么这种外国垃圾居然能在中国当老师？

Sentiments against foreigners have been stirred by a number of recent events. A British man was beaten after appearing to sexually assault a Chinese woman in Beijing in early May, followed by an online video of a Russian cellist cursing a Chinese fellow passenger on a train.

民众对外国人的观感受到了近期一系列事件的影响。5月上旬，一名英国籍男子在疑似侵性一名中国女子之后遭到殴打。之后网上又有一段视频显示，一名俄罗斯籍大提琴师咒骂与他同乘一列火车的中国籍乘客。

Chinese officials have responded with tighter regulations on foreigners in China. The city of Beijing pledged to "clear out" illegal foreigners by launching a 100-day campaign in May.

为此，中国对在华外国人加强了管理。北京市在5月份发起一场百日行动，加大力度清理“三非”外国人。

A new law on the control of the exit and entry was approved by the Standing Committee of National People's Congress last Saturday, which tightens the visa issue system and reinforces management of expats living in China, in an effort to tackle the problem of "foreigners entering, living and working illegally," according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency.

据官方媒体新华社报道，人民代表大会常务委员会上周六批准了一项控制出入境的新法，强化签证系统并对居住在中国的外国人加强管理，希望以此有助解决外国人非法入境、非法居留和非法工作的问题。
