China has overtaken Japan as Asia’s number one nation for producing top universities. 中国已经超过日本，成为亚洲顶尖大学最多的国家。 While Japan’s University of Tokyo is the highest-placed institution in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2017, the country has lost ground overall, with the balance of power now tilting towards Chinese mainland. 虽然《2017年泰晤士高等教育亚洲大学排名》中，东京大学依然高居榜首，但日本在整体上失去了优势，天平正在向中国大陆倾斜。 Japan has 19 universities in the prestigious top 100, down from 20 last year and 22 in 2013, and 15 of those have slipped down the list, by an average of 5.8 places. 在前100名中，日本大学占了19所，比起去年的20所和2013年的22所有所下降。其中，15所大学排名平均下降了5.8位。 By contrast, Chinese mainland now has 21 representatives, up from 18 last year and 15 in 2013, and many of these are rising up the table, including Peking University (fourth) and Tsinghua University (fifth), which have both moved up a place. Wuhan University has also climbed an impressive 15 places to joint 49th. 与之相反，中国在前100名中从前年的15所以及去年的18所上升到今年的21所，其中许多大学的排名有所上升，其中排名第四的北大和排名第五的清华均上升一位。武汉大学排名并列第49，上升了15位，令人印象深刻。 |
