摘    要
 本文首先從我國高校英譯名稱的命名種類和特點兩個角度探討了我國高校名稱的英譯現狀，指出目前我國高校的英譯名稱可謂是“百花齊放，百家爭鳴”，基本處于一個較為混亂的局面；然后闡述了造成該局面的三個原因，并結合浙江省高校的英譯名稱，具體分析了由此產生的三個問題，即用詞不統一，結構不統一，書寫不規范；最后比較了英美國家的高校名稱，在中西方差異的基礎上提出了幾點值得改進的建議，以促進我國高校的對外交流。

 關鍵詞：名稱英譯；中國高校；翻譯策略

ABSTRACT
 This paper first explores the current situation in the name translation of the Chinese tertiary institutions from the perspectives of types and characteristics of naming, and indicates its overall great diversity, just as the old saying goes, “Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend”. It then explains three possible reasons for such chaos, and elaborates three problems (non-uniform wording, non-uniform structure and non-standard writing) with Zhejiang Province as examples. It finally makes a comparison with names of higher institutions in English-speaking countries and proposes some suggestions in light of the differences between Chinese culture and western culture, thus promoting our exchanges with the outside world.

Key words：name translation; Chinese tertiary institutions; translation strategy
