牛津与剑桥 长久以来，牛津大学和剑桥大学一直是被人们联在一起的。在英文里则有专有的一个词：牛桥-Oxbridge。其实两校差别并不大。学校组织，建筑格式等非常类似。如前所述，剑桥本身就是牛津大学学生和市民冲突在之后，师生流落到剑桥建立的。两校之间的接触与交流一直很密切。 当然，不同之处是不必刻意就可以找到的。有人对牛津大学和剑桥大学做了分析，牛津大学会问：“你怎么认为？”，剑桥大学会问：“你所知道的是什么？”看来，牛津大学更注重思想，而剑桥大学更注重求知。这大概就是牛津出了30名首相，剑桥出了88位诺贝尔奖获得者的原因。一所大学，成绩斐然至此，无人能出其右。 1168年，牛津大学成立。1209年，牛津一位学生练习射箭，误杀了镇上一名妇女，引发了一场骚乱。愤怒的牛津市民抓了两个无辜的老师严刑拷打，从而引发冲突。结果师生们被市民追杀得四处逃窜。12名牛津师生流落到剑桥，被伊利主教收容。之后，其它地方的一些学者也慕名而来，一所新的大学逐渐建立起来，就是剑桥大学。 两所学校间有些类似中国的清华与北大，它们之间的关系和竞争很为人们关注，举世瞩目。一般的看法是牛津的人文科学更强一些，剑桥的理学和工程技术更有优势。在英国每年都有大学排名，两校通常是交替为第一、二名。近年来高新技术强势，剑桥在此领域一直比较强势，所以在前的次数要多一些。包括剑桥在世界大学排名上也都领先于牛津，这很可能是因为剑桥一直在学术领域保持优良传统的缘故，而牛津在人文方面的优势一般很难单纯的从学术上去统计，因为世界上最著名的学术杂志（如Nature, Science等都是属于理工类）。 Oxford and Cambridge Over the years, Oxford and Cambridge have been linked together. In English, there is a proprietary word: Oxbridge. In fact, not much difference between the two schools. School organization, building formats are very similar. As mentioned earlier, Cambridge was established by students and professors of Oxford after they had confilict with the citizens. The two schools has very close contacts and exchanges. Of course, the difference is obvious. Oxford and Cambridge was analysed by someone. Oxford will ask: "how do you think?", Cambridge will ask: "What do you know?" It seems Oxford focused more on thinking, However Cambridge , knowledge. This is the reson why there were 30 Prime Minister are from Oxford while 88 Nobel Prize winners were from Cambridge. A university, impressive now, no one can match her. 1168, Oxford was founded. 1209, Oxford, the practice of archery, a student, a woman in the town of manslaughter, causing a riot.The angry Oxford citizens arrested two innocent teachers, giving rise to conflict. Results are that teachers and students had to escaped. 12 Oxford students living in Cambridge, are hosting by the Queen Bishop. After a number of other places come here especially for scholars, a new university gradually built up, is Cambridge. Something is similar with the relationship between Tsinghua and Peking University in China, their relationship and competition also draw the attention all over the world. The general view is that the humanities is better at Oxford, while Cambridge has more advantage on Science and engineering. Universities are ranked everyyear, the two universities are the first and second alternatingly. With the development of hi-technology in recent years, Cambridge has been relatively strong and often ranks higher in this area. Cambridge in the world rankings is also higher than Oxford. This is probably because Cambridge always keep their fine traditions in acadamic fields, but the advantages Oxford has in the humanities are difficult to simply count from the acadamy.as the world's most well-known academic journals (such as Nature, Science )are all belong to the science part). 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/b65a1d18c281e53a5802ff14.html
