The full list is of 1,300 universities in 92 countries and regions, with the rankings taking into account teaching quality, the volume and reputation of research, citations of research, income from industry and international links.
这份榜单涵盖了来自92个国家和地区的1300所大学,排名考虑了教学质量、研究的数量和声誉、研究的引用、行业收入和国际合作。
An analysis accompanying the rankings says that the UK's so-called "golden triangle" - Oxford, Cambridge and London universities - continues to be very successful.

But it warns that this is "masking" a relative decline for other UK universities, while German universities are rapidly improving in the league table.
但它警告称,这“掩盖”了其它英国大学排名的相对下降,而德国大学的排名正在迅速上升。
Since 2016, the number of UK universities in the top 200 has fallen from 34 to 28, while the number of German universities has risen from three to 23.
2016年以来,在该榜单前200名中,英国大学从34所下降到28所,德国大学从3所上升到23所。
国际合作
The analysis from the Times Higher Education says this could reflect higher levels of investment being put into Germany's university system.
泰晤士高等教育的分析称,这可能反映出德国大学体系得到了更高水平的投资。
It also warns that UK universities could fall further behind Germany in funding if they lose access to EU research partnerships after Brexit.
报告还警告称,如果英国大学在脱欧后失去欧盟研究伙伴关系,它们在资金方面可能会进一步落后于德国。
"If the UK starts to withdraw from the international stage, its position in the upper echelons of the rankings will suffer," says Phil Baty of the Times Higher Education rankings.
泰晤士高等教育排行榜的菲尔•巴蒂说:“如果英国开始退出国际舞台,它在排行榜前列的地位将受到影响。”
