愛丁堡大學的簡介
愛丁堡大學的使命是知識的創(chuàng)造、傳播和分享。
作為世界頂尖的優(yōu)秀學術中心，我們的目標是：
提高我們作為世界頂尖的科研與教學大學的地位，以最高國際標準衡量我們的表現(xiàn);
為學生的更大福利創(chuàng)造最高質(zhì)量的學習和研究環(huán)境;
培養(yǎng)有能力在最高層面上達到個人和職業(yè)標準的畢業(yè)生;
為蘇格蘭、英國和世界持續(xù)做出重大的有社會責任感的貢獻，促進衛(wèi)生、經(jīng)濟和文化福利。
作為一所了不起的城市大學，愛丁堡大學格外注重自身與蘇格蘭的知識聯(lián)系和經(jīng)濟聯(lián)系，而蘇格蘭則構成了愛丁堡大學的基礎。正是在這個基礎上，愛丁堡大學得以繼續(xù)獲得最寬廣的國際視野，得以豐富自身豐富蘇格蘭。
Our history
With our rich history, noted alumni and distinguished scholars, we have much to be proud of in our many centuries as a world-renowned university.
From Nobel laureates and Olympic champions to space explorers and prime ministers, the University of Edinburgh has been influencing history since it opened the gates to its first students in 1583.
Following the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, the University was positioned at the forefront of academia and critical thinking.
Due to the determination and perseverance of a group of Edinburgh intellectuals, established facts about the world were being boldly and consistently challenged.
Amid this group was David Hume, philosopher, economist and essayist known for his philosophical skepticism and empiricism; Joseph Black, the chemist behind the discovery of latent heat and carbon dioxide; and James Hutton, the ‘Father of Modern Geology’.
We are the home of Britain’s oldest literary awards, the James Tait Black Prizes and Dolly the sheep, the first animal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell.
It was also here at the University of Edinburgh that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired to create his notorious character, Sherlock Holmes and James Young Simpson pioneered anaethetics through his discovery of the properties of chloroform.
More recently, theoretical physicist and Professor Emeritus Peter Higgs was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1964 prediction of the Higgs Boson.
Through the many achievements of its staff and students, the University has continued to present cutting-edge research, inspirational teaching and innovative thinking as its central ethos, attracting some of the greatest minds from around the globe.
愛丁堡大學的歷史
愛丁堡大學有豐富的歷史、著名的校友和杰出的學者，在過去許多個世紀里，作為一所世界著名的大學，我們有許多值得自豪的。
自從1583年向它第一批學生敞開大門以來，愛丁堡大學一直在影響著歷史，諾貝爾獎得主、奧運會冠軍、太空探索者和首相都在這里誕生。
在18世界蘇格蘭啟蒙運動之后，愛丁堡大學走在了學術和批判性思考的前沿。
在愛丁堡知識分子團體的決心和堅持不懈下，一些關于世界的權威事實受到了大膽而持續(xù)地挑戰(zhàn)。
在這群知識分子中間，哲學家、經(jīng)濟學家兼散文家的大衛(wèi)休謨哲學懷疑論和經(jīng)驗論著稱，化學家約瑟夫·布拉克以潛熱和二氧化碳的發(fā)現(xiàn)著稱，詹姆斯·哈頓則被稱為“現(xiàn)代地質(zhì)學之父”。
愛丁堡大學是英國最古老的文學獎詹姆斯·泰特·布萊克紀念獎的發(fā)源地，也是世界上第一只從正常體細胞中克隆出來的綿陽多利的誕生地。
也正是在這里阿瑟·柯南道爾獲得了創(chuàng)造臭名昭著的人物夏洛克·福爾摩斯的靈感，詹姆斯楊格辛普森通過發(fā)現(xiàn)氯仿的屬性發(fā)明了麻藥。
最近，理論物理學家 Emeritus Peter Higgs 教授因?qū)ο８袼共Ｉ拥念A測聯(lián)合獲得了1964年諾貝爾物理學獎。
作為員工和學生的諸多成就，愛丁堡大學持續(xù)推出了高端研究，啟發(fā)式的教學和創(chuàng)新性的思想(這些也是它的核心理念)，吸引了世界各地的最了不起的人才。
