立新老師在他的博客讓大家猜猜美國(guó)的state school到底是什么學(xué)校，有意思，搜一下。
1. 金山詞霸中的state school：
state school n. 公立學(xué)校，國(guó)立學(xué)校
2. Google的 define：state school：
State school is an expression used in the United Kingdom and other countries apart from the United States to distinguish schools provided by the government from public schools which are in fact private institutions.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_school 3. 最全的是anwers.com給出的state school：
State school is an expression used in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom to distinguish schools provided by the government from privately run schools.
United Kingdom State schools are so called in contrast to privately funded and operated independent schools. Independent schools are commonly called "public schools" in England, because enrollment is open to the general public - provided the public in question can afford the fees. Enrollment in the English "private school," by comparison, is closed to the general public. In Scotland, where the eductional system is distinctly different from the rest of UK, the term public school is used by many to refer to state schools (here,public meaning publicly-supported), which is the usage one also finds in Canada and the United States. Throughout U.K., state schools are under the control of local councils (Local Education Authorities in England and Wales), save for cases where independent schools are funded directly as in City Academies. Thus in the great majority of cases the phrase "state school" is a misnomer, and the more correct term maintained school is used in technical literature. Some maintained schools are partially funded by religious or other charitable bodies; these are known as voluntary aided schools or voluntary controlled schools. The oldest state school in England is Beverley Grammar School, which was founded in 700 CE. Australia In Australia state schools are the responsibility of the state governments. States Schools grew out of the system of National Schools in the mid-19th century. United States In the United States, state school is a colloquial term for state university, a college or university in a state university system. Public school refers to primary and secondary schools which are funded and/or run by a governmental entity. State school is also a term used somewhat condescendingly or derisively by students and alumni of some "University of" schools to refer to "State University" schools of the same state, e.g., referring to any California State University from the perspective of the University of California. 結(jié)論（不知正確與否）：
1. 在英國(guó)、澳大利亞、新西蘭： state school就是指公立學(xué)校，和public school相區(qū)別。public school在英國(guó)是私立學(xué)校，而在美國(guó)、蘇格蘭和加拿大則正相反，public school是指公立中小學(xué)。
2.美國(guó)的state school的含義有：第一，就是作為州立大學(xué)（state university）的通俗用語(yǔ)，即指州立大學(xué)系統(tǒng)（state university system）中的學(xué)院或大學(xué)。第二，以州命名的大學(xué)（例如，加州大學(xué)University of California）學(xué)生或畢業(yè)生對(duì)本州州立大學(xué)系統(tǒng)（例如，Califormia State University）中的學(xué)校的一種帶有優(yōu)越感和嘲弄意味的稱呼。
加州大學(xué)University of California和加州州立大學(xué)Califormia State University有很大的不同，加州大學(xué)大家都應(yīng)該很熟悉了，美國(guó)著名的牛校，是公立大學(xué)，包括好幾個(gè)校區(qū)，其中最著名的就是加州伯克利分校。加州州立大學(xué)則是指的一個(gè)系統(tǒng)，是加州州屬院校的合并而成，比加州大學(xué)檔次要低很多。
不過(guò)好像還沒(méi)有回答張老師的問(wèn)題，呵呵
