Child prodigy Laurent Simons has left his university course, following a dispute over his graduation date.
由于在结业时刻上呈现争议，神童劳伦特·西蒙斯现已中断了大学课程。
Laurent, 9, made world headlines in November when news emerged that he was due to finish his studies in electrical engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE) in the Netherlands in December.
9岁的劳伦特在11月上了各国媒体的头条，新闻报道称他将在12月完结荷兰埃因霍芬理工大学电气工程学的课程。
Now, a dispute between TUE and the Simons family has seen Laurent terminate his studies without graduating.
现在，埃因霍芬理工大学和西蒙斯一家的胶葛导致劳伦特没有结业就停止了大学学业。
TUE said it had recommended Laurent finish his studies by mid-2020, rather than at the end of December, because of the number of exams he still has to pass.
埃因霍芬理工大学称其主张劳伦特于2020年中完结学业，而不是12月底，由于他还需经过多项考试。
"This would still be, in every way, a phenomenally fast schedule," the university said in a statement sent to CNN.
该大学在发给CNN的一份声明中说：“无论是哪个方面，这样的学习进展仍是快得惊人。”
TUE said Laurent's father, Alexander Simons, had "repeated his explicit wish that his son should obtain his bachelor degree at the age of 9, which means that Laurent must successfully complete his bachelor within ten months for a study that normally lasts three years."
埃因霍芬理工大学称，劳伦特的父亲亚历山大·西蒙斯现已“重复重申他的志愿，他清晰期望自己的儿子在9岁时拿到学士学位，这在某种程度上预示着劳伦特有必要在10个月内成功完结一般需求三年才干完结的学士学位课程。”
However, Alexander told CNN that there had previously been no issue with the accelerated timetable.
但是，亚历山大告知CNN说，之前校方关于时刻表加快并没有提出异议。
Ultimately, he said, the family decided Laurent would leave TUE as he had received an offer to study for a doctorate at a university in the United States, and wouldn't be able to split his time between the two institutions.
终究，亚历山大说，他们一家决议，劳伦特将脱离埃因霍芬理工大学，由于劳伦特现已承受在美国一所大学读博的约请，所以没有时刻在两所大学一同学习。
"Sometimes you have to make choices," Alexander told CNN in reference to the decision.
亚历山大说到这个决议时对CNN说：“有时候你有必要做出挑选。”
"If he lets it go, you never know if he will get that opportunity again."
“假如他抛弃了这次时机，你底子不知道他今后还能不能再有时机。”
Alexander suggested that TUE's move to delay Laurent's studies is linked to the family's decision to move to a different university to study for his PhD.
亚历山大指出，埃因霍芬理工大学推迟劳伦特学业的行为和他们家决议带儿子到另一所大学读博有关。
"The way they treat things, it's not correct," he said. "Laurent is not their belonging."
“他们处理作业的办法是不对的，”他说，“劳伦特不是他们的私有财产。”
In response, Ivo Jongsma, a spokesman for TUE, told CNN: "We never try to keep our students to ourselves. It would never be a motivation to frustrate somebody." He said the Simons had been open about Laurent's plan eventually to study in the US.
TUE said in its statement that it was "regrettable" that the Simons had rejected the new timetable.
埃因霍芬理工大学在声明中说，西蒙斯一家回绝新的时刻表“令人怅惘”。
"His supervisors enjoyed working with him, not only because of his enormous talent, but also because he is a very kindhearted and inquisitive boy," the university said.
该大学称：“他的导师们很喜欢和他一同作业，不只是由于他有极高的天分，还由于他是一个心地善良、求知欲强的男孩。”
"The door is therefore still open for him to resume the study as long as the conditions remain realistic."
“只需实际条件答应，咱们的大门仍然为他打开，欢迎他回来持续学业。”
The family has not yet fixed a start date at the US university, where Laurent will study for a PhD in electrical engineering.
西蒙斯一家还没有确定在美国大学开端学习的时刻，在那里劳伦特将攻读电气工程学的博士学位。
Alexander declined to name the institution, citing a family decision to reveal Laurent's progress only at the end of any given course.
亚历山大回绝泄漏这所大学的姓名，宣称这是家庭决议，只要在课程结束时才会发布劳伦特的进展。
"We don't want to have pressure on him," he said.
他说：“咱们不想给他施加压力。”
对此，埃因霍芬理工大学的发言人伊福·琼斯玛告知CNN说：“咱们从未企图把学生留在本校。校方永久都不可能去尴尬谁。”他说，西蒙斯一家关于终究去美国学习的方案一向都很揭露。
