牛津大学（英国）

作为全球最古老的大学校园之一，牛津大学的颜值那真叫一个吸粉无数！随处可见的城堡式古老建筑，和谐静谧的校园氛围，置身于此分分钟让人有穿越的恍惚感。

Voted as the most beautiful university in the UK in 2016, Oxford is a place of beauty, complete with gothic spires and picturesque green spaces.

As if that wasn’t enough, it’s really easy to channel your inner Harry Potter as some of the scenes from the movie were filmed on campus.

*gothic spires 哥特式的建筑风格

*spire（尤指教堂顶部的）尖塔，尖顶

*picturesque /ˌpɪk.tʃərˈesk/（尤指某地）美丽的，古色古香的

明尼苏达大学（美国）

对，你没看错，不是哈佛，也不是普林斯顿，荣登第二名的是明尼苏达大学。

上榜理由是明大校园里那座世界知名的艺术博物馆Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum。

The University of Minnesota’s Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum pushes the uni into our top 10.

Complete with an angular design and silver stainless steel cladding, this art museum was designed by architect Frank Gehry, and still resembles a building of the future, despite 20 years having passed since it was built.

*angular 有角的

南洋理工大学（新加坡）

南洋理工大学校园以其精美的古典园林设置和结合现代风格的校园文化，位列全球最美校园第三名。

其中，艺术设计和传媒学院的大楼最独具特色，四层楼高的玻璃建筑物，拥有一个开放式的庭院和一个倒影池，大楼的屋顶覆盖着茵茵绿草，也可以作为室外的公共休息地。

Also the top young university in the world, Nanyang has more than just good looks on its side.

The university’s reputation as being at the center of cutting edge technology, engineering and research is clearly reflected in its architecture.

A mix of modern design and recreational space with plenty of natural light make this university one of the most aesthetically pleasing on the list.

*cutting edge 表示发展前沿；领先位置；先锋地位 比如在移动通讯技术方面处于领先地位的公司我们可以说a company at the cutting edge of mobile communications technology

* aesthetically pleasing 美观的，有美感的

塔鲁丹特大学（摩洛哥）

位于摩洛哥的Taroudant大学，其校园就是一个精美的现代建筑展，有着很强的文化识别性和历史性。它旨在重新诠释21世纪的摩洛哥文化，以建筑和城市理念来塑造内外部空间，并相互渗透和贯通。

Another newly built university, Taroudant combines modern and traditional design in perfect harmony.

Set in the southern desert, its carefully thought-out design allows for shady areas to combat the intense Moroccan heat.

*完美融合了现代和传统的设计可以说combines modern and traditional design in perfect harmony

萨拉曼卡大学（西班牙）

坐落在Salamanca的萨拉曼卡大学创立于13世纪，是西班牙最古老的大学，校园里宏伟壮观的建筑足以列入世界文化遗产建筑，事实上Salamanca也的确是被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产的城市。

The University of Salamanca, set in the UNESCO world heritage city of Salamanca, is the oldest university in Spain, dating all the way back to the 13th century.

The stunning Baroque architecture is a feast for the eyes, but the university isn’t just a pretty face. With a long and prestigious history, the university has educated some pretty famous alumni, including Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote.

*表示赞叹大家可以多用stunning这样的词

*feast这个词除了当盛宴讲，还可以描述是感官上的享受，比如上面这段文字中a feast for the eyes就表示视觉盛宴，当然我们也可以用a visual feast来表达。

开普敦大学（南非）

开普敦大学位于西开普省的开普敦市，是南非最古老的大学。学校背靠平顶山Table Mountain，前有 Cape Peninsula，风景如画。

With a backdrop of Table Mountain and a view out over the Cape Peninsula, The University of Cape Town’s dramatic location will take your breath away.

The university also happens to be a top ranker in South Africa so studying here will ensure you get the best of both worlds.

*在描述一个地方美不胜收的时候我们还可以说take my breath away把我的呼吸都拽走了

南丹麦大学（丹麦）

由鬼马设计师Henning Larsen设计的南丹麦大学知名建筑——传媒设计学院是南丹麦大学上榜的主要原因。

Designed by architectural wizard Henning Larsen, the state of the art School of Communications and Design at the Southern University of Denmark’s Odense campus is deserving of a place in the top 10.

With 20% of the campus consisting of woodland, the university is a shining example of Scandinavian simplicity at its best. The charming town of Odense is just on your doorstep too, so you’re in for a double treat of eye candy if you study here.

北京大学（中国）

我大天朝的建筑第一，尤其是北大还存有很多传统建筑，理应上榜。

Chinese architecture is arguably some of the most ornate in the world, and there’s plenty of traditional design to be enjoyed at Peking University.

The campus is based in the former Qing Dynasty imperial gardens and is a haven of tranquility, complete with pagodas, peaceful gardens, lakes and traditional buildings. Aside from its beauty, the university is also known for its string of influential alumni and is rated year after year as one of the top universities in China.

*pagoda 专指亚洲的塔或者宝塔

塔斯马尼亚大学（澳洲）

塔斯马尼亚大学于1890年成立，是澳洲四大历史名校之一，也是澳大利亚五星级大学。

If you like the idea of getting a healthy dose of fresh air and a backdrop of rolling mountains with your education, then look no further than The University of Tasmania.

You can enjoy a whole range of outdoor activities that take advantage of the university’s beautiful island location, so if you’re into kayaking, surfing, mountain climbing, then you’ll be in your element.

The university is also the perfect place to study an environment-related degree.

*environment-related 和环境相关的

佩珀代因大学（美国）

颜值爆表的佩珀代因大学就不用多介绍了吧，依山傍海，拥有无敌日落海景！白天从宿舍走到教学楼，能看到整条太平洋线，晚上下山的时候无敌日落海景秒杀各种电影大片。在学校的标志性建筑——Phillips theme tower上眺望，还能够将太平洋的波澜壮阔尽收眼底。

《爱乐之城》中很多的取景地就是在佩珀代因大学周围噢~

If it’s a view to die for that you’re after, then Pepperdine University in Malibu should definitely be on your shortlist of places to study at. Surrounded by mountains and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, you can’t get much better than this if you want a sea view.

If you ever tire of the view (which let’s face it, you probably won’t) then Los Angeles is around an hour’s drive away.
