　　Pengyuan Apartment, a dormitory for students of a university’s branch in Qinhuangdao city, North China’s Hebei province, has caught the public attention in past two days for charging high accommodation fees from students, a report by Hongxing News said on Monday.

　　據(jù)《紅星新聞》周一報(bào)道，在過(guò)去兩天里，位于中國(guó)北部河北省秦皇島市的一所高校的鵬遠(yuǎn)學(xué)生公寓因向?qū)W生收取高額住宿費(fèi)而引起了公眾的關(guān)注。

　　The apartment, run by a company, charges each student 16,640 yuan ($2,324) per year for a shared room which can accommodate two students of Northeastern University at Qinhuangdao, the report said.

　　報(bào)道稱(chēng)，該公寓是由一家公司運(yùn)營(yíng)的，每個(gè)房間是可以容納兩名東北大學(xué)秦皇島分校學(xué)生居住的合住房間，每位學(xué)生每年的住宿費(fèi)為16640元（約合2324美元）。

　　Hongxing News reported that dormitories at the university campus do not have sufficient space for students, forcing some to live in the Pengyuan Apartment.

　　據(jù)《紅星新聞》報(bào)道稱(chēng)，由于該大學(xué)沒(méi)有足夠的宿舍容納所有學(xué)生，因此一些學(xué)生被迫住在鵬遠(yuǎn)公寓。

　　But its price is high enough to rent a house of more than 100 square meters with three bedrooms near the campus, the Finance and Economics website reported.

　　但據(jù)財(cái)經(jīng)網(wǎng)站的報(bào)道稱(chēng)，其價(jià)格高到足以在校園附近租一套面積超過(guò)100平方米、有三間臥室的房子。

　　The upper limit of school’s dormitory accommodation charges must be under 1,200 yuan per year, according to relevant regulations of Hebei Bureau of Commodity Price.

　　根據(jù)河北省物價(jià)局的相關(guān)規(guī)定，學(xué)校宿舍住宿費(fèi)的最高收費(fèi)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不得超過(guò)每年1200元。

　　A platform of Pengyuan Apartment showed the exceeding part – 15,440 yuan – is for other services, including facilities, room services and water fees.

　　鵬遠(yuǎn)公寓的網(wǎng)站平臺(tái)顯示，住宿費(fèi)用中超出的部分（15440元）是包括設(shè)施、客房服務(wù)和水費(fèi)在內(nèi)的其他服務(wù)費(fèi)。

　　Qinhuangdao Pengyuan College Logistics Service Co, which runs the dormitory, has raised the dormitory price several times in the past years.

　　該宿舍由秦皇島鵬遠(yuǎn)高校后勤服務(wù)有限公司經(jīng)營(yíng)管理，在過(guò)去幾年里，該公司已多次提高了宿舍的住宿價(jià)格。

　　Students who refused to pay the extra charge were threatened with eviction or warned they will not be allowed to use electricity.

　　拒絕支付額外費(fèi)用的學(xué)生還受到了被趕出宿舍的威脅，或被警告將停止供電。
