secondary school与middle school的区别

Question

我本来以为没有区别，后来在一篇文章中看到美国小孩读了middle再读secondary，觉得很郁闷！中文翻译都是“中等学校”的意思，那为什么s比m要高点？

Answer 1

secondary school是接受secondary education的地方
secondary education是相对于primary education来说的
primary education初等教育或者说基本教育，大致相当于我国的九年义务制基本教育的意思，是人人都要上的，secondary education就好象我们在九年义务教育之后要上的学校
middle school在我们的课本里教做“中学”，其实middle school准确的来说是初中，不包括高中
高中在国外通常叫做high school
所以你看的文章中，这个美国小孩就是先读初中再读高中，完全正常

Answer 2

在英国，初中：junior middle school，高中：senior middle school，中学统称为middle school。

在美国，初中：middle school（注意英美的不同），高中：high school（不要错误地理解为是“大学，高校”的意思，高等教育应该说成是higher education）。

junior/senior high school是中国人“发明”的不地道的英语。当然理解对这些词汇的理解存在偏差由各国教育制度、学制安排不同的原因。

by the way，elementary school基础教育，在欧美国家一般从1年级到8年级；secondary school指9年级到12年级。（借鉴别人的，希望对你有帮助）

Answer 3

Answer 4
