The year before last, for instance, when the Australian government promised to extend the visas of mainland Chinese students by four years in the wake of the Tienanmen massacre, more than 20,000 mainland students suddenly came out of woodwork. Many of them had entered the country under the pretext of short-term language study and had already overstayed their visas.
例如，前年「六四事件」發生後，澳洲政府答應將大陸學生簽證延期四年，一夕間忽然有將近兩萬個以上的大陸留學生「冒」出來，其中很多是以短期語文進修名義入境，並已逾期居留。
