Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them.
很多人在一起考试对学生和监考老师来说都压力不小。
When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.
如果教室很挤，书桌与书桌之间离得很近，是很容易作弊的。
One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers.
泰国的一所大学想出了防作弊帽，这样学生就不可能看到其他人的试卷了。
A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling 2 pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.
近日网上流传着一张学生戴着防作弊帽的照片，许多人批评学校竟让学生戴着如此可笑的自制帽子，这种帽子就是把两张纸分别粘在头带两侧。
After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students.
在被批判之后，泰国曼谷的泰国农业大学校方发表声明，称这个主意是学生想出来的。
They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit.
他们解释说在一次有偿征求防作弊方法的时候，校方向学生征求如何在即将到来的考试中预防作弊，这次考试大概会有近百名学生参加。同学们想出了各种各样的主意，最终纸帽子的办法胜出。
The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said.
学校声明大家都是自愿使用这种帽子的。“考试时戴着这种帽子，学生觉得很放松，” 泰国农业大学一名讲师Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai这样说。
“It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added.
“这并不是说我们学校的学生习惯作弊。如果照片使别人误会他们的话，我道歉，” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai还说道。
