For prospective students interested in comparing school options around the world, US Newsreleased the fourth edition of its annual Best Global Universities rankings.
为了给希望对比全球大学以便申请就读的学生**参考，《美国新闻与世界报道》近日发布第四版全球最佳大学年度排行榜。
The overall 2018 ranking encompasses more schools than ever before – 1,250 universities located across 74 cou**ies. This is an increase from the 1,000 schools in 65 cou**ies included in last year's edition.
2018年的大学综合排行榜包含74个国家和地区的1250所大学，在历次榜单中学校数量最多。去年的排行榜中包含65个国家的1000所大学。
In addition to the overall ranking, US News also offers region-, cou**y- and subject-specific rankings, to allow for more tailored searching.
除了综合排行榜，《美国新闻与世界报道》还**了地区、国家、特定专业大学排行榜，方便大家进行更为细致的搜索。
The Best Global Universities rankings are based on data and metrics provided by Clarivate Analytics InCites. They are calculated using a methodology that focuses on a school's research performance and reputation, not its specific undergraduate or graduate programs. This is a separate methodology than those used for other US News rankings such as Best Colleges and Best Graduate Schools.
全球最佳大学排行榜是根据科睿唯安(前身为汤森路透知识产权与科技事业部)**的数据和标准得出，计算方法关注学校的研究成就和声望，而非特定的本科或研究生课程。这种评价方法与《美国新闻与世界报道》发布的最佳学院、最佳研究生院等评价方法不同。
The US has the most universities of any cou**y in the overall ranking, with 221 schools earning a spot. The cou**ies with the next-highest numbers of schools in the ranking are China and Japan with 136 and 76, respectively.
在综合榜单中，美国大学数量最多，共有221所大学上榜。中国和日本分列二、三名，上榜大学数量分别为136所和76所。
Besides exploring the overall ranking, prospective international students can narrow their search by browsing regional and cou**y rankings. These rankings were determined solely by how schools performed in the overall list.
除了查阅综合榜单，未来的国际学生还可以缩小搜索范围，浏览某地区和某国家大学排行。这些排名仅由学校在综合榜单中的表现决定。

国家大学排行榜单数量从去年的38份上升到42份。新加入的榜单包括阿根廷、墨西哥、巴基斯坦和**大学排行榜。
US News also offers subject-focused rankings, which include popular fields such as computer science, economics and business and engineering. These rankings use a different methodology from the overall ranking based on academic research performance in each specific subject.
《美国新闻与世界报道》还**了学科排行榜，包括计算机科学、经济学和商科、以及工程学等热门学科。这些排行榜基于某个特定学科的研究能力**出评价，与综合榜单评价方式不同。
