《泰晤士高等教育》亞洲高校排名公佈
Chinese mainland is home to two of the top three universities in Asia, according to research published last Thursday by the Times Higher Education (THE).
英國《泰晤士高等教育》專刊於上週四公佈的一項調查顯示，中國內地兩所高校入選亞洲大學前三名。The THE Asia University Rankings for 2017 rated Peking University and Tsinghua University, both in the Chinese capital of Beijing, as the second and third best universities in the continent. National University of Singapore is ranked the best.
來自中國首都北京的北京大學和清華大學，分列2017年亞洲大學排行榜的第二、三名。而新加坡國立大學則位居榜首。In total, Chinese mainland has 54 institutions in the listing of top 300 universities in Asia.
今年中國內地共有54所高校進入亞洲大學排行榜前300名。
After Peking University, known as Bei Da, and Tsinghua University, the next highest-placed Chinese university is the University of Science and Technology of China at 15, Fudan University at 16, Shanghai Jiao Tong University at 18 and Zhejiang University at 19 in the top 20.
在北大和清華大學之後，中國內地入選該榜單前20名的院校還有中國科學技術大學，該校位居第15位；復旦大學排名第16位，上海交通大學排名第18位，而浙江大學排名第19。
This is the second year running that Peking University has reached the height of No. 2 university.
此外，這也是北京大學連續第二年在亞洲大學排行榜上排名第二位。Phil Baty, editor of THE rankings, said: "China has introduced powerful policy drives, backed with serious funding, to produce world-class universities. In 2015, the country announced its excellence initiative, which aims to establish six of its universities in the leading group of global institutions by 2020."
《泰晤士高等教育》專刊的編輯菲爾·巴蒂說道：“中國採取了強有力的政策，且背後又有雄厚的資金支持，才能打造這些世界一流的大學。2015年，中國就宣佈將實施‘卓越計劃'，計劃在2020年之前打造六所可以躋身世界一流行列的高校。”Chinese universities have also spent millions to recruit internationally renowned academics and build state-of-the-art facilities, said Baty.
巴蒂表示，中國的大學現如今已經花費百萬元巨資聘請國際知名學者，同時還配備了各項最先進的設備。"Overall this ranking of Asia's best 300 universities proves what a dynamic, diverse and competitive higher education region the continent is becoming -- and China is a key part of that development," said Baty.
巴蒂說道：“縱觀亞洲高校前三百名榜單，我們可以看到，現如今，動態、多樣化且頗具競爭力的高等教育園區正在亞洲地區逐漸形成，中國則是這個發展過程中極其重要的一部分。”
