But students at the central Illinois campus don’t just bury theirheads in books, they also party — so much so that they’ve earned the top spot on The PrincetonReview’s annual list of top party schools in the U.S., the college guide said Monday.
但這所位于伊州中部的大學(xué)的學(xué)生并不僅僅是埋頭苦讀，他們同樣熱衷于派對(duì)。《普林斯頓評(píng)論》(The Princeton Review)3日宣布，該校在這本大學(xué)指南的年度派對(duì)大學(xué)排行榜中高居榜首。
“Drinking culture is huge here,” according to an unnamed student in the Princeton Review’s 2016edition of the “The Best 380 Colleges.” The university has about 31,000 undergraduate students.
在《普林斯頓評(píng)論》2016年版“最好的380所大學(xué)(The Best 380 Colleges)”中，一名不愿提及姓名的學(xué)生說道，“這里飲酒文化氛圍很濃厚”。該?，F(xiàn)有大約31000名本科在校生。
University spokeswoman Robin Kaler was bothered by the No. 1 ranking — a first for the campus,which has been among the list’s top five for years — and said it painted students in a false light.
伊利諾伊大學(xué)女發(fā)言人羅賓•卡勒(Robin Kaler)很為這個(gè)第一名感到煩惱，該校近些年來一直躋身該榜單前五，這還是第一次高居榜首。她說這個(gè)排名扭曲了該校學(xué)生的形象。
“They are serious, they are hard-working, and to try to present them as being somehowirresponsible is insulting,” she said Monday.
她3日表示：“他們嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真、勤勉刻苦，試圖將他們刻畫為不負(fù)責(zé)任的人的行為是對(duì)他們的侮辱。”
The largest of the parties is an annual day of drinking called Unofficial, a St. Patrick’s Daycelebration that was started by a local bar. The event included fatal accidents in 2001 and 2006.The university tries every year to keep the event under control, often beefing up police presenceand, two years ago, even asking parents to help them tone down the partying.
伊利諾伊大學(xué)最大的派對(duì)要屬每年的飲酒日，被稱作Unofficial，這個(gè)派對(duì)由當(dāng)?shù)氐囊患揖瓢蔀閼c祝圣帕特里克節(jié)(St. Patrick’s Day)而發(fā)起。該活動(dòng)在2001年和2006年都曾釀成致命事故。校方每年都試圖控制活動(dòng)的局面，經(jīng)常增加現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的警力，兩年前甚至呼吁學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)幫助他們令派對(duì)收斂一些。
The Princeton Review’s publisher says the collection of lists is meant to paint a picture of life oncampus at the schools it reviews, using students’ answers to a long series of questions aboutstudent life to create profiles, as well as lists for things such as partying, dorm life, sports, politicalpersuasions and more.
《普林斯頓評(píng)論》出版商則說，這一系列排行榜意在通過學(xué)生的反饋來描繪上榜學(xué)校的校園生活。學(xué)生們回答了一長(zhǎng)串有關(guān)學(xué)生生活的問題來創(chuàng)建資料以及包括派對(duì)、宿舍生活、運(yùn)動(dòng)、政治派別等方面的榜單。
“We have such a high regard for each of the 380 schools,” said publisher Robert Franek, whosereview is not affiliated with Princeton University. “The University of Illinois, it is an exceptionalschool.”
《普林斯頓評(píng)論》與普林斯頓大學(xué)(Princeton University)并無關(guān)聯(lián)。其出版商羅伯特•弗蘭尼克(Robert Franek)表示：“我們非常敬重這380所大學(xué)，伊利諾伊大學(xué)是極為優(yōu)秀的學(xué)校。”
For those who don’t imbibe, the top stone-cold sober school is Brigham Young University(BYU), the private Utah school affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Tops for most religious students? That’s BYU, too.
對(duì)于那些不飲酒的學(xué)生來說，最滴酒不沾的學(xué)校是楊百翰大學(xué)(Brigham YoungUniversity，BYU)。這所位于猶他州(Utah)的私立大學(xué)隸屬于耶穌基督后期圣徒教會(huì)(Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)。對(duì)于最為虔誠(chéng)的教徒來說首選的大學(xué)?還是楊百翰大學(xué)。
Looking for the best campus food? Try the small, exclusive Bowdoin College in Maine.
哪所大學(xué)食堂最好吃?你可以試試緬因州(Maine)規(guī)模精小、錄取嚴(yán)格的鮑登學(xué)院(BowdoinCollege)。
Most satisfied students? Claremont McKenna University, under what one student told the reviewwas “the constantly beaming California sun.”
哪所學(xué)校學(xué)生滿意度最高?克萊蒙麥肯納學(xué)院(Claremont McKenna University)。有位在校生對(duì)《普林斯頓評(píng)論》提到自己最滿意的是“時(shí)常沐浴在加利福尼亞燦爛的陽光里”。

The party rankings, like most parties themselves, change over time. The University of Iowa is aformer No. 1, but came in at No. 2 this year.
派對(duì)排行榜，正如大多派對(duì)本身，都會(huì)隨著時(shí)間不停地變化。曾經(jīng)問鼎榜首的愛荷華大學(xué)(University of Iowa)今年位居第二。
Freshmen due in Iowa City this month will find dozens of bars downtown and many house partiesawaiting them. But the city has also made it harder for those under 21 to get into bars, and policeofficers will be patrolling neighborhoods to break up rowdy parties.
即將在本月到愛荷華市(Iowa City)報(bào)到的新生會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)市中心有幾十個(gè)酒吧，還有諸多室內(nèi)派對(duì)等著他們的到來。但同時(shí)該城也做出更加嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定，嚴(yán)禁21歲以下青少年進(jìn)入酒吧，警察也會(huì)去街區(qū)巡邏解散那些嘈雜的派對(duì)。
Rounding out the top five party schools are, in order: The University of Wisconsin-Madison,Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and last year’s No. 1, Syracuse University in New York.
