The publication of college rankings each year would draw increasing attention from interested people.

每年公布的大学排名吸引了许多人的关注。

Those people include reporters, college administrators and faculty, alumni, parents,

包括记者、大学管理者、教职员、学生、父母

and high school students.

以及高中生。

Together with other popular guidebooks,

再加上其他的指导书

college rankings feature data on the overall universities and colleges in China.

大学排名反映了中国大学的整体水平。

Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet once stated that

莎士比亚的戏剧“罗密欧与朱丽叶”中说

what is in a name?

名字包含了什么?

That which we call a rose.

我们管它叫做玫瑰。

By any other name would smell as sweet. "

其他名字闻起来也一定是甜美的。"

We can ask a similar question over the college rankings:

我们想问一问:

what is in a number?

数字里面包含了什么?

Some scholars warn that college rankings use objective measures to evaluate subjective considerations

许多学者认为大学排名是一种衡量大学水平的客观途径

so that they can only tell a prospective college student a limited amount.

所以它的排名很片面。

In my opinion,

我认为

we should take several rankings into consideration to evaluate a specific colleges place in the ranking,

我们应该综合考虑这样才能评估大学的真正排名

instead of only relying on one ranking.

而不是只关注于排名。

Firstly,to decide whether college rankings give a college a fair shake,

首先大学排名是否公平

it is crucial to look at the methodology of the ranking system.

如何做出的大学排名是非常重要的。

While one system may conclude peer assessment

一种测量系统仅仅包含了评估、

retention rate, faculty resources, student selectivity, and financial resources,

经济实力、师资力量、学生成绩、保留率方面的考虑

another system may lay its emphasis on the number of famous alumni,

其他测量系统或许会更加重视著名校友的数量

the student evaluation of professors and the evaluation of college students.

老师对学生的评估以及学生的评估。

Accordingly, the same university may rank top in one publication of one ranking system,

根据有关数据表明同一所大学有可能总排在第一名

but be reduced to the average university category in another ranking system.

但是换一种测量系统之后这所大学有可能会成为一所排名中等的大学。

Generally speaking,based on the same criteria,

总体来讲根据同一种准则

the rankings can objectively reflect the strength of a certain university,

排名可以客观地反映出某大学的实力

but it can not tell the whole story of a college.

但是却不能反映大学水平的全部。

Besides, many universities are characterized by their unique disciplines.

此外许多大学有其特有的准则

We can not simply reach conclusion

我们不能仅仅推断出

that a music and drama university is worse than a technological university

一所音乐或戏剧学院就比工业学校要差

according to their places in the ranking system.

这要根据不同的排名系统而定。

Secondly, college rankings are likely to be manipulated,

第二大学排名很有可能是人为控制的

which inevitably reduces their authority and trustability.

这将不可避免地将减少它的权威性和可信性。

As a president from a famous university revealed,

一位知名大学的教授称

one college ranking compiling organization once visited him and insinuated that

一位专门负责大学排名的机构曾经暗示他说

if the president agreed to sponsor their organization,

如果您同意支持他们的组织

they could put the college in higher places of ranking.

那么该组织将提高该学校的排名。

According to some news report,

根据一些新闻报道

this phenomenon is not rare.

这样的现象并不罕见。

Many universities have been invited to corporatewith some ranking compiling organizations.

许多排名机构都曾经邀请过许多大学老师。

Can we still believe that college rankings reflect the strength of some universities

我们还能相信大学排名真正能够反映大学的实力吗?

when some universities sponsor the compiling in exchange of higher places in the ranking?

?特别是某些排名机构以换取支持而抬高排名为由的排名吗?

In a word, college rankings, an important means to evaluate universities,

总之大学排名是评价大学的重要手段

are based on different methodologies.

而这样的排名是根据不同的测量方法而定的。

As one methodology only focuses on certain aspects of higher learning,

某一种排名只侧重了高等教育的某一方面

we have to consult with several ranking systems

我们不得不与各个排名系统相比较

and then we can find out the whole story of a university.

之后我们才能了解大学的真正实力。

We should also be cautious about the manipulation behind the scenes.

同时我们也应该小心这一现象背后的人为原因。
