Diminishing performance’

表現退步

THE rankings editor Phil Baty said the UK had lost ground this year.

THE排名編輯費爾巴蒂說，英國今年有所退步。

"Even the country’s most prestigious institutions have slipped, with the universities of Cambridge and Oxford each dropping two places to fourth and fifth place respectively," he said.

“全英最有聲望的院校竟然也下滑了，劍橋和牛津都退步了兩名，排到了第四和第五。”他說。

"The UK’s diminishing performance occurs as institutions in Asia rapidly rise up the table - the continent has 17 representatives, up from 10 last year."

“英國表現退步，而亞洲學府卻表現優異-亞洲有17所高校入選，而去年只有10所。”

Mr Baty said cuts to higher education funding and a series of immigration measures affecting overseas students were "starting to have an impact" on the UK’s global reputation.

巴蒂先生說，高等教育經費減少以及一系列影響海外學生的移民措施對英國的全球聲譽“開始產生影響”。

"The UK will have to ensure that it can still draw in talent and investment from across the world and it does not lose its position at the heart of higher education’s global elite," he added.

“英國必須確保這個國家還能繼續吸引全球的人才及投資，而不會失去它在全球高等教育精英中心的地位。”他補充。

Asia snapping at heels’

亞洲緊隨其后

Dr Wendy Piatt, director general of the Russell Group of leading universities, said the UK had some of the very best universities in the world, but it was "no time to rest on our laurels".

羅素集團大學總經理溫迪皮亞特博士說，英國擁有一些世界頂尖的大學，但它“不能坐吃山空”。

"These rankings can be seen as a warning that the rest of the world is catching up with us and Asian universities, in particular, are snapping at our heels.

“這些排名可以看作是一個警告，世界其他大學正緊緊跟隨我們，尤其是亞洲大學，正緊隨其后。”

"We risk losing out on further business and overseas funding unless there is greater investment in our world-class universities and a more risk-based, proportionate approach to regulation.

“除非在我們的世界級大學上有更多投資，以及采取更加基于風險和更加均衡的管理方法，否則我們將面臨著失去進一步商業和海外投資的機會。

"Our key international competitors recognise that world-class universities are central to their success."

“國際上我們的主要競爭對手也承認，世界一流大學對我們的成功是至關重要的。”
