Peking University Landmark | The Administrative Building

2021-01-16 PekingUniversity

Built in 1926, the Administrative Building is a legacy from Yenching University. Between 1915 and 1920, three missionary universities in Beijing, including Hweiwen University, were merged to form Yenching University and subsequently moved to the Haidian District. American architect Henry Killam Murphy (1877-1954) was Yenching University's campus' overall designer, and the Administrative Building, one of his first-designs, determined the central axes of the campus. The Administrative Building, along with the Alumni Bridge, the West Gate, and the center island in the Weiming Lake, constitutes the East-West Axis of Yenching University, whose end falls on the pagoda on Jade Spring Hill. As the main building of Yenching University, the Administrative Building functioned as the office of John Leighton Stuart (1876-1962), first president of Yenching University.

  • 留美知識University和College
    university 和 college 確實是有區別的，而且區別還不小。名詞解釋與來源University——在拉丁文中意為「一個整體」，指代提供高等教育的機構，是從中世紀一步一步演變而來的詞彙。P.S.大多數文理學院重視通識教育，推崇古典學科，所以比較少單獨設置工程學位，而是與其他「university」聯合開設工程專業，具體拉至文末查看。

  • 為什麼「師範大學」被翻譯為 Normal University?答案完全想不到…
    下面是中國幾所著名師範大學的校徽，大家注意看裡面的英語翻譯： 可以看到，師範大學 被翻譯成了Normal university這是為什麼呢？我們知道 normal 的意思是：正常的，正規的，標準的那麼 normal university 應該是「普通的大學、正常的大學」吧？！難道說其它大學就是 abnormal 不正常的？
  • 「外國語大學」千萬不要翻譯為 Foreign Languages University!
    因為 foreign language university 的意思是外語的大學，實際外國語大學也分很多學科，只不過外語是王牌學科，所以我們不能這樣翻譯。正確翻譯應該是 International Studies University 或Foreign Studies University.
