NEW YORK – While developed countries are angst-ridden over mostly illegal immigration by unskilled workers from developing countries, a different set of concerns has surfaced in Africa, in particular, over the legal outflow of skilled, and even more importantly, highly skilled, people to developed countries. This outflow is supposedly a new and damaging “brain drain,” with rich countries actively luring away needed skills from poor countries.
纽约—发达国家正在为来自发展中国家的无技能非法移民而焦虑，但非洲国家却在面临另一种担忧，即有技能（甚至高技能）公民合法移民至发达国家。这种流出被认为是具有伤害性的新型“人才外流”，即发达国家积极地吸取贫穷国家所急需的技能。
