　　Yomiuri Shimbun， which is the country’s biggest daily newspaper， published the report examining student admission numbers on Thursday， sparking the complaints.

　　該國最大的日報“讀賣新聞”周四公布了學生入學人數(shù)的報告，該報告引發(fā)了爭議。

　　It quotes an unnamed source saying officials adopted a "silent understanding" to reduce the number of female entrants over concerns female graduates were not going on to practice medicine in employment.

　　它援引一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士稱，官員們采取了“無聲的諒解”來減少女性入學者的數(shù)量，原因是擔心女性畢業(yè)生畢業(yè)后不留在醫(yī)藥崗位。

　　"Many female students who graduate end up leaving the actual medical practice to give birth and raise children，" the source told the newspaper.

　　“許多畢業(yè)的女學生為了生育和撫養(yǎng)孩子最終離開醫(yī)療行業(yè)，”該消息人士告訴該報。

　　這個故事引起了日本全國人們的共鳴，因為近年來，在安倍晉三的經(jīng)濟議程中，女性參與勞動力已成為日本的一個關(guān)鍵問題。

　　許多用戶在流行的雅虎日本網(wǎng)站上分享了他們對該大學的驚訝和憤怒。
