According to the 14th annual edition of its World University Rankings, the list of the top 1,000 universities from 77 countries and regions, there are two Chinese mainland institutions in the top 30 for the first time and China boasts more universities in the rankings than ever before.
根據(jù)第14屆世界大學(xué)年度排名，中國內(nèi)地首次有兩所教育機構(gòu)躋身榜單前30名，上榜大學(xué)數(shù)量較以往顯著增加。該排名共包含來自77個國家和地區(qū)的1000所大學(xué)。

Phil Baty, editorial director of the rankings from Times Higher Education, said: "Our rankings show that the Asian giant's higher education improvement is real and growing. With two top-30 representatives for the first time in the 13-year history of the rankings, China's leading universities are truly now part of the global elite and overtaking prestigious universities in the US, UK, and Europe."
《泰晤士高等教育》大學(xué)排名編輯部主任費爾?巴蒂表示：“我們的排名顯示，中國作為亞洲地區(qū)大國，其高等教育的進步貨真價實，且越來越快。該排名誕生13年以來，首次有兩所中國大學(xué)進入前30名，中國一流大學(xué)現(xiàn)在真正躋身全球精英教育機構(gòu)之列，并且正在趕超英美、歐洲的名牌大學(xué)�！�
An expert in global university rankings for 20 years, Baty said that the rise of Chinese higher education had been driven by a large investment in science and technology subjects.
巴蒂是全球大學(xué)排名領(lǐng)域的專家，已有20年豐富經(jīng)驗。他表示，中國對理工科專業(yè)的巨大投入帶動了國內(nèi)高等教育的崛起。
"Chinese universities are doing outstanding work in science, technology, mathematics, life sciences," Baty said, adding that the next phase for China would be to strengthen its arts and humanities and social sciences programs. "I think arts and humanity subjects are very important to create the balance and to provide the creativity needed to push research to the next level. So that's the challenge. Another challenge is perhaps to be even more international. "
巴蒂稱：“中國大學(xué)在理科、工科、數(shù)學(xué)、生命科學(xué)等方面表現(xiàn)出色�！彼�說，下一階段，中國應(yīng)該加強藝術(shù)、人文社會科學(xué)專業(yè)�！拔艺J(rèn)為藝術(shù)和人文學(xué)科對于實現(xiàn)文理平衡以及培養(yǎng)推動科研進一步發(fā)展的創(chuàng)造力至關(guān)重要。這是中國的挑戰(zhàn)之一。另一項挑戰(zhàn)或許是向更加國際化轉(zhuǎn)變�！�
In Asia, the National University of Singapore tops the ranking in this region, in 22nd place globally. Japan's flagship, the University of Tokyo, has fallen to its lowest position in the 13-year history of the table to 46th place. And three of South Korea's leading universities have declined.
新加坡國立大學(xué)在亞洲地區(qū)排名最高，其全球排名為第22。日本頂尖學(xué)府東京大學(xué)的排名降至歷史新低，居于第46位。韓國有三所一流大學(xué)排名下降。
Baty believes that the trend demonstrates the global higher education landscape is changing. "Other east Asian nations are feeling the competition from the rise of China."
