  國內哪所大學造就的億萬富豪校友最多?誰又是培養傑出校友最多的高校?在這個問題上,很多年來清華大學和北京大學都難分勝負,而通常北大略佔優勢。

  However, according to a new list of billionaire alumni from Chinese universities, releasedMonday by Chinese University Alumnus Association, Tsinghua University has finally gained anupper hand. The school boasted 84 billionaires in 30 years since the reform and opening upwith a combined worth of 300 billion yuan ***US$47.45 billion***, surpassing Peking University forthe first time.

  然而,中國校友會網週一釋出的《2012中國大學傑出校友排行榜》顯示,自改革開放30多年來,清華大學培養和造就了84名億萬富豪校友,校友財富合計近3000億元,首次超越北大成為中國造富大學排行榜冠軍。

  儘管如此,以校友名望論,北京大學的地位依舊不可動搖。《2012中國大學傑出校友排行榜》總榜單仍是北京大學居首,1952年***含***以後畢業於北京大學的政學商界傑出人才最多,有456人。其次是清華大學,有292人,名列第二。

Amongmore than 800 Chinese billionaires with top educational backgrounds, Tsinghua University's 84 surpassed Peking University's 82. The combined worth of the billionaires on the list is 4.5 trillionyuan ***US$711.7 billion***.

Under the environment of respecting knowledgeand talents in 1978, capable individuals have consistently stood out from the rest. Accordingto the new list, many who participated in those exams have become the salt of the earth inscientific fields.

  據趙德國介紹,1977年,我國恢復了高考制度,高等院校的人才培養工作重新走上正軌。特別是自1978年以來,在“尊重知識、尊重人才”的大環境下,優秀人才不斷湧現。這次的排行榜顯示,1977年恢復高考後的幾屆考生已成為或正在成長為我國科技領域的中流砥柱。

  According to a report released by Institute of Education Tsinghua University, Chinese collegesand universities lag far behind in the fields of academic challenge, cooperative learninginitiative, student-teacher interaction, and so on, when compared to U.S. researchuniversities, China Youth Daily reported.

  據《中國青年報》報道,清華大學教育研究院釋出報告稱,同美國研究型大學相比,我國高校在學業挑戰度、主動合作學習水平和師生互動等方面,均存在較大差距。

  The survey collected over 20,000 samples from 23 undergraduate institutes in China. Based onthese data, three quarters of Chinese students have never discussed scores or assignments withtheir lecturers ***whereas in same-level U.S. institutions, this applies to about 7% of students***; half of the Chinese students have never talked about their career plans and thoughts with theirteachers ***the rate in same-level U.S. institutions is about 21%***; 35.6% of the students havenever got timely feedback on their academic performance from teachers ***in same-level U.S. institutions, this rate is about 7%***.

  該課題從全國23所本科院校收集兩萬多份調查樣本,資料顯示,有四分之三的中國學生從未和任課老師討論分數和作業***美國同類院校約7%***;有一半的學生從未與老師討論自己的職業計劃和想法***美國同類院校約21%***;有35.6%的學生的學習表現從未得到老師及時的反饋***美國同類院校約7%***。

  The report puts forward that the traditional concept of a teacher's authority exerts muchinfluence on the interaction between teachers and students.

  報告分析稱,傳統的師道尊嚴觀念使教師高高在上,影響到師生互動。

  The survey also shows that when asked about "whether they put forward questions orparticipate in discussions in class", more than one fifth of Chinese students answered with "never" ***in same-level U.S. institutions, this goes for only 3% of students***, only one tenth ofChinese students chose to answer with "often" or "very often" ***in same-level U.S. institutions, this rate is about 63%***.

  調查資料還表明,我國高校在“課上提問或參與討論”題項上,有超過五分之一的學生選擇“從未”***美國同類院校只有3%***,只有十分之一的學生選擇“經常”或“很經常”***美國同類院校約63%***。
