A. 用英语介绍美国几所著名大学
哈佛大学
1636 Harvard College was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown, a young minister who upon his death in 1638, left his library and half his estate to the new institution.
The task of managing the University's day-to-day activities and supporting its academic mission falls to Harvard's 10,000 regular staff members. Professionals in such areas as library science, research, business, and fund raising, as well as skilled craftspeople, artists, laboratory technicians, support staff, and others from a wide range of fields, work in partnership with faculty to make Harvard a world-class institution.
Whether tuning pianos in the famed Paine Concert Hall, operating delicate research equipment in Medical School laboratories, or overseeing the admissions process, Harvard's staff members strive for excellence in their work.
After George Washington's Continental Army forced the British to leave Boston in March 1776, the Harvard Corporation and Overseers voted on April 3, 1776, to confer an honorary degree upon the general, who accepted it that very day (probably at his Cambridge headquarters in Craigie House). Washington next visited Harvard in 1789, as the first U.S. president. Since then, a few other men who were, or were to become U.S. presidents, have received honorary degrees:
John Adams, LLD 1781
Thomas Jefferson, LLD 1787
James Monroe, LLD 1817
John Quincy Adams, LLD 1822
Andrew Jackson, LLD 1833
Ulysses S. Grant, LLD 1872
William Howard Taft, LLD 1905
Woodrow Wilson, LLD 1907
Herbert C. Hoover, LLD 1917
Theodore Roosevelt, AM 1919
Franklin D. Roosevelt, LLD 1929
Dwight D. Eisenhower, LLD 1946
John F. Kennedy, LLD 1956

Yale University comprises three major academic components: Yale College (the undergraate program), the Graate School of Arts and Sciences, and the professional schools. In addition, Yale encompasses a wide array of centers and programs, libraries, museums, and administrative support offices. Approximately 11,250 students attend Yale.
Yale’s roots can be traced back to the 1640s, when colonial clergymen led an effort to establish a college in New Haven to preserve the tradition of European liberal ecation in the New World. This vision was fulfilled in 1701, when the charter was granted for a school “ Youth may be instructed in the Arts and Sciences [and] through the blessing of Almighty God may be fitted for Publick employment both in Church and Civil State.” In 1718 the school was renamed “Yale College” in gratitude to the Welsh merchant Elihu Yale, who had donated the proceeds from the sale of nine bales of goods together with 417 books and a portrait of King George I.
Yale College survived the American Revolutionary War (1776–1781) intact and, by the end of its first hundred years, had grown rapidly. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries brought the establishment of the graate and professional schools that would make Yale a true university. The Yale School of Medicine was chartered in 1810, followed by the Divinity School in 1822, the Law School in 1824, and the Graate School of Arts and Sciences in 1847 (which, in 1861, awarded the first Ph.D. in the United States), followed by the schools of Art in 1869, Music in 1894, Forestry & Environmental Studies in 1900, Nursing in 1923, Drama in 1955, Architecture in 1972, and Management in 1974.
International students have made their way to Yale since the 1830s, when the first Latin American student enrolled. The first Chinese citizen to earn a degree at a Western college or university came to Yale in 1850. Today, international students make up nearly 9 percent of the undergraate student body, and 16 percent of all students at the University. Yale’s distinguished faculty includes many who have been trained or ecated abroad and many whose fields of research have a global emphasis; and international studies and exchanges play an increasingly important role in the Yale College curriculum. The University began admitting women students at the graate level in 1869, and as undergraates in 1969.
Yale College was transformed, beginning in the early 1930s, by the establishment of residential colleges. Taking medieval English universities such as Oxford and Cambridge as its model, this distinctive system divides the undergraate population into twelve separate communities of approximately 450 members each, thereby enabling Yale to offer its students both the intimacy of a small college environment and the vast resources of a major research university. Each college surrounds a courtyard and occupies up to a full city block, providing a congenial community where residents live, eat, socialize, and pursue a variety of academic and extracurricular activities. Each college has a master and dean, as well as a number of resident faculty members known as fellows, and each has its own dining hall, library, seminar rooms, recreation lounges, and other facilities.
Today, Yale has matured into one of the world’s great universities. Its 11,000 students come from all fifty American states and from 108 countries. The 3,200-member faculty is a richly diverse group of men and women who are leaders in their respective fields. The central campus now covers 310 acres (125 hectares) stretching from the School of Nursing in downtown New Haven to tree-shaded residential neighborhoods around the Divinity School. Yale’s 260 buildings include contributions from distinguished architects of every period in its history. Styles range from New England Colonial to High Victorian Gothic, from Moorish Revival to contemporary. Yale’s buildings, towers, lawns, courtyards, walkways, gates, and arches comprise what one architecture critic has called “the most beautiful urban campus in America.” The University also maintains over 600 acres (243 hectares) of athletic fields and natural preserves just a short bus ride from the center of town.

The Stanford motto, 'The wind of freedom blows,' is an invitation to free and open inquiry in the pursuit of teaching and research. The freedom of scholarly inquiry granted to faculty and students at Stanford is our greatest privilege; using this privilege is our objective.
Stanford's current community of scholars includes 16 Nobel laureates, four Pulitzer Prize winners and 24 MacArthur Fellows. Stanford is particularly noted for its openness to interdisciplinary research, not only within its schools and departments, but also in its laboratories, institutes and research centers.
Bordering Palo Alto and Silicon Valley, Stanford is less than one hour from San Francisco, redwood forests and the beaches along the Pacific Ocean. But the sprawling campus, which at 8,180 acres is among the biggest in the United States, also provides its own unique beauty.
The Birth of the University
On October 1, 1891, Stanford University opened its doors after six years of planning and building. In the early morning hours, construction workers were still preparing the Inner Quadrangle for the opening ceremonies. The great arch at the western end had been backed with panels of red and white cloth to form an alcove where the dignitaries would sit. Behind the stage was a life-size portrait of Leland Stanford, Jr., in whose memory the university was founded.
About 2,000 seats, many of them sturdy classroom chairs, were set up in the 3-acre Quad, and they soon proved insufficient for the growing crowd. By midmorning, people were streaming across the brown fields on foot. Riding horses, carriages and farm wagons were hitched to every fence and at half past ten the special train from San Francisco came puffing almost to the university buildings on the temporary spur that had been used ring construction.
Just before 11 a.m., Leland and Jane Stanford mounted to the stage. As Mr. Stanford unfolded his manuscript and laid it on the large Bible that was open on the stand, Mrs. Stanford linked her left arm in his right and held her parasol to shelter him from the rays of the midday sun. He began in measured phrases:
"In the few remarks I am about to make, I speak for Mrs. Stanford, as well as myself, for she has been my active and sympathetic coadjutor and is co-grantor with me in the endowment and establishment of this University..."
What manner of people were this man and this woman, who had the intelligence, the means, the faith and the daring to plan a major university in Pacific soil, far from the nation's center of culture – a university that broke from the classical tradition of higher learning?

E. 美丽的10所美国大学校园
人们常说情人眼里出西施，但是我们介绍的美国的这10所大学，你很难找到一个看不到它们的美的人。下面我就带大家一起去详细的了解一下，希望对你有所帮助。
前言 ：美国拥有世界上一些最负盛名的大学，每年吸引成千上万的国际和国内学生。但撇开高质量的教学和前沿研究不谈，美国大学也跻身最美大学之列。这份榜单由《泰晤士报高等教育版》的学生选出，上榜的每一所大学都展示了引人注目的建筑风景，包括起伏的绿地、流动的水景和吸引学生和游客的令人印象深刻的自然背景。
1.贝里学院
贝里学院是乔治亚州的一所私立文理学院，是美国最上镜的大学之一。哥特风格的建筑与令人印象深刻的2.7万英亩的田野、森林、清澈的湖泊和喷泉相结合，使它在这份最具吸引力的美国大学榜单中稳居一席之地。它每年都吸引着许多徒步旅行者和自行车爱好者，甚至被用作电影《记住泰坦》和《阿拉巴马甜蜜之家》的拍摄地。
2.科罗拉多大学博尔德分校
坐落在落基山脉脚下，科罗拉多大学的美丽是自然的而不是人为的。令人难以置信的景色，加上绵延数英里的自行车骑行、国家公园和森林，吸引了许多想要在大自然中度过时光的游客。这并不是说这些建筑在多山的背景下没有自己的特色，它们有独特的红瓦屋顶和砂岩墙，这是由建筑师查尔斯·克洛德首创的设计。
3.布林莫尔学院
布林莫尔学院被广泛认为是美国风景最美的校园之一，是一所私立文理学院，历史上是一所女子学院。布林莫尔学院是最早采用哥特式建筑风格的大学之一。自那以后，这种建筑风格在美国其他许多大学得到了复制，比如普林斯顿大学。这个占地135英亩的田园式校园里还有一个养鸭池和成排的树木，这些树木在春天的时候会开花。
4.斯坦福大学
斯坦福大学经常被称为世界上最负盛名的大学之一，但同样以其令人惊叹的校园而闻名。斯坦福大学的“建筑皇冠上的宝石”斯坦福纪念教堂建于美国文艺复兴时期，装饰着五颜六色的马赛克。色彩和彩色玻璃的使用受到威尼斯教堂的启发，尤其是圣马克大教堂。建筑周围是大片大片的花园，迷人的花坛和林荫大道。
5.夏威夷大学
夏威夷大学系统的旗舰校区，位于Mānoa，经常发现有彩虹的开销，因为该地区的强降雨。学校离地面更近，景色也一样优美，四周是郁郁葱葱的棕榈树和鲜花山谷，离海滩和学校自己的珊瑚礁也很近，后者用于海洋研究。
6.康奈尔大学
一份全新的最美丽的大学教堂名单可能会被创造出来，康奈尔大学的圣堂）将以其装饰华丽的天花板、精致的枝形吊灯和彩色玻璃窗成为领先者。然而，这所常青藤盟校的美丽之处在于它的设计瑰丽，比如广告白阅览室和标志性的麦格劳大厦。
7.圣母大学
主行政大楼顶部的金色圆顶已经成为圣母大学最易辨认的标志之一。在火灾后重建，圆顶顶部有一个19英尺高的镀金圣母玛利亚雕像，以反映该大学的天主教身份。其他建筑地标包括圣心大教堂，它拥有世界上最大的19世纪法国彩色玻璃收藏。
8.普林斯顿大学
普林斯顿大学的建筑融合了多种风格，最古老的建筑以学院哥特式风格建造，这已成为该校的一个标志。最近，20世纪的建筑师弗兰克·盖里和拉斐尔·维诺里等人在新落成的大学建筑上留下了自己的印记，这些建筑采用了更现代的风格。20世纪的艺术品散落在各处。
9.福尔曼大学
湖边钟楼的标志性形象只是校园的一张快照，就像明信片上的家一样。弗曼大学到处都是乔治亚风格的建筑、一座日式花园和数英亩的绿地，这里的每个角落都有各种各样的拍照机会。
10.弗吉尼亚大学
弗吉尼亚大学被美国建筑师协会评为“过去200年来美国建筑最值得骄傲的成就”，这是有充分理由的。这些建筑的概念是由开国元勋托马斯·杰斐逊提出的。杰弗逊式的建筑风格的特点是使用八角形，红砖建筑和白色的柱子。这种风格最好的例子之一是弗吉尼亚大学的圆形大厅。
F. 美国大学的学制介绍
一直以来，美国都是吸纳中国留学生最多的国家，纵然留学费用不便宜桐滚，但教育质量是世界数一数二的，所以很多家庭都愿意送孩子去美国留学。那么美国大学的学制是怎样的呢?下面就让我给大家介绍一下。
美国的学制(Academic Calendar System)不甚统一，因地域和学校不同。一般分为学期制(semester)，学季制(quarter)，早学期制(early semester)和三学期制(trimester)四种。
一、学期制
和国内的差不多，把9个月的学年分成16-18周的学期，也是最传统的学制。
秋季班：8月底开学，12月中下旬圣诞节前结束。
春季班：1月初开学，5月底结束。3个月的大暑假。
耶鲁大学就是实行学期制的学校典型。其它实行学期制的美国大学还包括罗斯福大学和芬德雷大学等。
二、学季丛脊制
该学制将一年分成春夏秋冬四季，每季对应一个学期，大概两个半月左右，课程紧凑，每学期都要立即进入状态，并适应频繁的考试。夏季班一般提供选修性质的正规课程。
秋季班：9月下旬开学，12月初放假。
冬季班：1月初开学，3月中旬放假。
春季班：3月底开始，6月初放假。
夏季课程：6月20左右开学，8月下旬结束。
加州的很多学校以及部分东部学校采取学季制，如达特茅斯学院。
三、早学期制
将9个月的一个学年分成15至18个星期的两个学期。秋季课程比春季课程稍微短些。
秋季班：8月底到12月20号左右。
春季班：1月中旬开始到5月中旬。
近几年较多学校采取早学期制。
四、渗轮渗三学期制
三学期把12个月分成三等分。
秋季班：8月底或9月初开始，圣诞节前结束。
冬季班：1月初或中旬开学，4月份结束。
春夏班：4月底开始，八月结束。
第三个学期分为两个小学期(term)，春季班(4至6月)和夏季班(6至8月)。

H. 美国大学之普林斯顿
上期介绍了美国东西海岸的教育特色，接下来就介绍一下美国知名的大学们吧~
普林斯顿大学（Princeton University），简称普林斯顿（Princeton），是世界磨拆著名私立研究型大学，位于美国东海岸新泽西州的普林斯顿市，是美国大学协会的14个始创院校之一，也是著名的常青藤联盟成员。
普林斯顿大学与附近的普林斯顿高等研究院（IAS）共同构成了世界著名的理论研究中心，对基础数学、理论物理学、经济学等学科的发展影响深远 。
于1746年在新泽西州伊丽莎白镇创立该校，是美国殖民时期第四所成立的高等院校，当时名为“新泽西学院（College of New Jersey）”。1756年迁至风景优美的普林斯顿市（位于费城和纽约之间），并在1896年正式改名为“普林斯顿大学”。
经过200多年的发展，普林斯顿已经和哈佛、耶鲁一起被简称为HYP，成了美国高等教育的铁三角。
有太多响当当的名字与普林斯顿大学连在了一起：爱因斯坦、艾略特、杨振宁、肯尼迪等等。此外，在美国《独立宣言》签名者中，有9人是普大的学生，包括美国第4任总统麦迪逊。
除此之外，普林斯顿大学的哲学系因为具备悠久的历史和学术传统，瞎羡枣而在分析哲学、科学哲学和形而上学诸多哲学领域表现出色。
因此其哲学系与纽约大学哲学系、匹兹堡大学哲学系在分析哲学和科学哲学等领域被称为哲学界的三驾马车。普林斯顿大学保有浓厚的欧式教育学风，创立宗旨上强调训练学生具有人文及科学的综合素养。
普林斯顿大学的正式校训是拉丁语Dei sub numine viget，迄今，这个校训以古派胡体大写拉丁文写在校徽橙黑色盾牌下面的纸带上。其英译是Under God's power she flourishes(“因为上帝的力量，学校欣欣向荣”)。
在著名的好莱坞电影《美丽心灵》中，“发疯的数学天才”约翰·纳什在普林斯顿的校园里癫狂地肆意游荡，每晚在图书馆的玻璃上胡乱涂鸦离奇难解的数学公式。所有人都知道他疯了，普林斯顿却对此从容不惊。这间接证明了普林斯顿对学者的包容，在这里，只要你愿意做研究，你就会得到充分的尊重。
普林斯顿的录取极为严格，仅次于麻省理工学院。不仅仅要过硬的成绩，还要对考虑学生的综合能力和潜力。跟中国分越高越能上好大学相比，普林斯顿更看重是学生的综合素质能力！
