Cambridgegraduates are the most employable in the world, according to a global league table. The ancient university is the best at producing graduates who are ‘ready to work’, a poll of major employers found.

一項(xiàng)全球排名調(diào)查顯示，英國(guó)劍橋大學(xué)的畢業(yè)生是全世界最適宜被雇傭的畢業(yè)生。接受票選的雇主們表示，古老的劍橋大學(xué)培養(yǎng)出來(lái)的學(xué)生都是“適合工作”的。

Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year. Harvard and Yale – part of the US‘Ivy League’ of universities – were second and third respectively.

去年的榜首——牛津大學(xué)，今年卻跌至第四位。美國(guó)常春藤成員——哈佛大學(xué)和耶魯大學(xué)則分別占據(jù)了第二、三名。有5所英國(guó)大學(xué)進(jìn)入了榜單的前20，較之去年多了1所。在全部榜單的150所大學(xué)中英國(guó)共有12所大學(xué)上榜，在總體表現(xiàn)上略輸于美國(guó)。

But the UK as a country came third – behind the US and Germany- when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work-ready graduates.

不過(guò)，當(dāng)業(yè)主被問(wèn)及哪個(gè)國(guó)家提供最多“適合工作”的畢業(yè)生時(shí)，英國(guó)卻位列第三，排在美國(guó)和德國(guó)之后。

The table – the Global Employability University Ranking published by the International New York Times – also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly gaining ground on their western counterparts.

這份全球就業(yè)能力大學(xué)排名榜單由《國(guó)際紐約時(shí)報(bào)》發(fā)布，還反映出亞洲的大學(xué)正迅速培養(yǎng)出一批人才，與西方大學(xué)分庭抗禮。

Asian universities claimed 20 percent of the top 150 places in 2014 compared with only 10 percent when the tables were first published in 2010.

今年亞洲大學(xué)占據(jù)榜單前150位中的20%，比2010年榜單第一次發(fā)布時(shí)僅有的10%有了明顯的增長(zhǎng)。

The other British universities in the top 20 were University College London, in 14th place, Imperial College London, in 15th, andEdinburgh, 18th.

其余位列前20的英國(guó)大學(xué)有：第14名的英國(guó)大學(xué)倫敦學(xué)院、緊隨其后的第15名帝國(guó)理工學(xué)院和位列第18的愛丁堡大學(xué)。

The coordinators of the table said it showed the gulf between a small number of eliteUKuniversities and less prestigious institutions.

排行榜的負(fù)責(zé)人說(shuō)，這反映了少數(shù)英國(guó)精英大學(xué)和不太知名的教育機(jī)構(gòu)之間的差距。

Laurent Dupasquier, managing partner at Emerging, a French human resources consultancy, said: ‘The top tier players, global brands (which tend to be all American and British), continue to lead, while other Anglo-Saxon universities, those that are mainly regional players, tend to fare less well, with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year.

一家法國(guó)人力資源咨詢公司的經(jīng)營(yíng)合伙人勞倫·達(dá)帕斯奎爾（Laurent Dupasquier）表示：“世界最頂層的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者，那些全球知名學(xué)府（他們大多是英美的），仍然位列前茅。但是其他的英國(guó)大學(xué)多數(shù)都是地區(qū)性的學(xué)府，表現(xiàn)稍遜，與去年相比，這些學(xué)府平均失去了5個(gè)榜單位置。”

‘Like the premier league, the champions have an international community of students and think internationally, unlike their more locally oriented counterparts.’

“跟英超一樣，這些知名大學(xué)有來(lái)自全球各地的學(xué)生和國(guó)際化思維，不像其他以地區(qū)為導(dǎo)向的同行們。”

The table was compiled following a survey of 2,500 major recruiters in 20 countries. Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business.

這個(gè)榜單是根據(jù)一項(xiàng)針對(duì)20個(gè)國(guó)家的2500所主流招聘企業(yè)進(jìn)行的調(diào)查結(jié)果排出的。這些企業(yè)的業(yè)主根據(jù)一系列標(biāo)準(zhǔn)對(duì)大學(xué)進(jìn)行排名，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)包括對(duì)“適宜工作”的畢業(yè)生的培養(yǎng)以及學(xué)校與行業(yè)的聯(lián)系等。

The study claimed that ‘the days of ivory towers are over’.

這份研究聲稱“象牙塔時(shí)代已經(jīng)終結(jié)。”

Graduates ‘should be firmly planted in their field of expertise as a result of practical training and internships’, it said.

畢業(yè)生們“應(yīng)該為了實(shí)習(xí)和實(shí)際工作，扎實(shí)鞏固自己的專業(yè)知識(shí)。”
