Oxford and Cambridge top world university rankings
全球大学排名新鲜出炉，牛津第一剑桥第二
Two UK universities occupy the top spots in a global ranking for the first
time.
英国两所大学首次在全球排名中占据榜首位置。
The University of Oxford is top of the Times Higher Education World
University Rankings, with Cambridge University second, up from fourth place last
year.
牛津大学位于泰晤士报高等教育世界大学的最高排名，剑桥大学排名第二，高于去年的第四位。
A key factor in the rankings is income and both universities saw this rise
in the past year, partly in the form of European Union research grants.
排名中的一个关键因素是收入，这两所大学在过去一年中收入有增长，部分原因得益于欧盟研究补助金。
But this income could fall with Brexit, warned rankings director Phil
Baty.
但这种收入可能会随着英国退欧而下降，排名总监Phil Baty说。
Times Higher Education, which compiles the rankings, said that margins were
extremely tight at the top, with all the top-ranked institutions excelling
against measures in teaching, research, citations, international outlook and
income.
泰晤士报高等教育编写了该排名，说位居前列的大学收入差距极小，所有前列的高等学府在教学、研究、引用、国际视野和收入上都表现优秀。
But Oxford and Cambridge saw significant increases in their total
institutional income - up 24% and 11% respectively while their nearest rivals,
the California Institute of Technology and Stanford University saw falls in
income.
但牛津和剑桥的机构总收入大幅增长，分别上升了24%和11%，而最近的竞争对手加州理工大学和斯坦福大学则收入下降。
The researchers also point out that about a quarter of Cambridge’s research
income, and a fifth of Oxford’s, come in the form of EU grants - a factor which
they say underlines the risk Brexit could pose to the global performance of the
UK’s leading universities.
研究人员还指出，剑桥的研究所得的四分之一和牛津的五分之一来自欧盟拨款，强调英国退欧可能为英国顶尖大学的整体性能带来风险。
The top of the global ranking of 1,000 universities in 77 countries is
dominated by US institutions.
由77个国家的1000所大学组成的全球排名中，排名靠前的大部分是美国的机构。
Other UK universities in the top 50 are Imperial College London in eighth
place; University College London, 16th; London School of Economics and Political
Science, 25th; University of Edinburgh, 27th; and King’s College London,
36th.
其他排名前50的英国大学是帝国理工学院排名第八，伦敦大学第十六，伦敦政治经济学院第二十五，爱丁堡大学第二十七，和伦敦国王学院第三十六。
