新西蘭奧克蘭大學校長致辭

 

My name is Stuart McCutcheon, Vice-Chancellor (President) of the University of Auckland, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to our new Aulin College established jointly between Northeast Forestry University and the University of Auckland. Aulin takes the first syllable of “Auckland” and the first syllable of “Linye” meaning Forestry in Chinese a name that we feel symbolises the deep and meaningful collaboration between our institutions.

 

我叫Stuart McCutcheon，是奧克蘭大學校長。很高興歡迎你來到東北林業大學與奧克蘭大學攜手創建的全新的奧林學院。奧林這個名稱結合了“奧克蘭”的首音節及中文“林業”的第一個字，這象征著我們兩所大學之間合作的深刻意義。

 

Since it was founded in 1883, the University of Auckland has grown to become New Zealand's flagship, research-led university, known for the excellence of its teaching, its research, and its service to local, national and international communities. In the 2019 QS rankings, the University of Auckland was ranked 85, the only New Zealand university ranked in the top 100. Furthermore, the University of Auckland was ranked No. 1 globally in the inaugural University Impact Rankings by Times Higher Education (THE). This outstanding result recognises the University of Auckland’s commitment to sustainability and making a positive social impact through its research, teaching and knowledge transfer. Our research programmes range across all disciplines and we are world leaders in such fields as Computer Science, Statistics, Biological Science, Chemistry and Ecology. Alongside this, we have an excellent record in educating our students. Our graduates have exciting and impactful careers and have been taught by many winners of teaching awards.

 

自1883年建校起，奧克蘭大學逐步發展成為新西蘭的旗艦研究型大學，以其優秀的教學質量，高端的科學研究，及對地方，國家及國際社會做出的卓越貢獻而著稱。在2019年的QS世界大學排行榜中，奧克蘭大學位居第85位，是新西蘭唯一一所進入前100位的大學。此外，奧克蘭大學還在泰晤士高等教育(THE)進行的首屆大學影響力排行榜中位列全球第一。這項殊榮表彰了奧克蘭大學對可持續性發展所作出的承諾及其通過研究，教學和知識轉移對社會產生的積極影響。我們的研究項目涉及各個學科，而且我們是計算機科學，統計學，生物科學，化學及生態學等領域的世界領導者。除此之外，我們在學生教育方面也有出色的記錄。在眾多教學獲獎精英的指導下，我們的畢業生都跨入了令人欣慰并充滿意義的職業生涯。

 

One of the key features of the University of Auckland is our focus on developing an international presence and connections. In 2016, Professor John Hosking, our Dean of Science, set up the University of Auckland’s first offshore joint programme in China and is now excited to enter into the innovative Aulin College project in partnership with Northeast Forestry University.

 

奧克蘭大學的一個主要特點是我們專注于國際影響力和關系的發展。2016年，我校理學部部長John Hosking教授在中國開展了奧克蘭大學的第一個海外合作辦學項目。如今我們又與東北林業大學聯合成立了具有創新意義的奧林學院，這更是讓人激動。

 

We are pleased to be working with a partner as prestigious as Northeast Forestry University, one of the three oldest institutions for forestry education and research in China under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. NEFU serves as a key university within the scope of former national 211 Project and the newly formed Double First Class disciplines universities. NEFU’s strengths complement those of the University of Auckland and together we will provide you with an outstanding education.

 

我們非常高興能與東北林業大學這樣極富聲望的伙伴合作。在教育部直屬管轄下的東北林業大學為中國三所歷史最悠久的林業教育及研究機構之一,不僅之前是受到國家公認的211工程大學，同時還在最新發布的雙一流學科大學名單中榜上有名。東林的優勢與奧克蘭大學的優勢相輔相成，我們兩校強強攜手將為你提供最優秀的教育。

 

In a world of increasing global opportunity, we want to help you boost your life and career prospects. You will acquire knowledge through innovative teaching from some of the best academics in the fields of Biology, Chemistry,Ecology, Computer Science, and Statistics in the world. A degree from Aulin College will help you to achieve your learning and career goals. Success with us is just the beginning.

 

在當前全球機遇日益增長的環境中，我們希望幫助你提升你的生活和職業前景。你將在生物學，化學，生態學，計算機科學和統計學領域中，通過全球頂尖學者的新型教學方式獲取知識。在奧林學院取得的學位將幫助你實現你的學習及工作目標，而和我們一起取得的成功將會只是你成功人生的開始。

 

We look forward to welcoming you.
