Introduction
简介
Durham University is a collegiate public research university in Durham, England, founded by an Act of Parliament in 1832 and incorporated by royal charter in 1837. It was the first recognised university to open in England for more than 600 years, after Oxford and Cambridge, and is thus the third-oldest university in England. As a collegiate university, its main functions are divided between the academic departments of the university and its 17 colleges. In general, the departments perform research and provide teaching to students, while the colleges are responsible for their domestic arrangements and welfare.
杜伦大学是一所坐落于英国杜伦的学院制公立研究型大学。于1832年通过国会法案正式成立，1837年被授予皇家宪章。杜伦大学是英国继牛津大学和剑桥大学之后，600 多年来第一所公认的大学，因此也是英国第三古老的大学。作为一所学院制大学，杜伦大学主要由学术部门和17个学院组成，二者分别发挥不同的作用。一般来说，学术部门负责开展研究以及教学工作，而学院则负责学生生活和身心健康。

Student life
学生生活
Durham students belong to a college for the duration of their time at the university.Most students live in their college for the first year of their undergraduate life, then choose to ‘live-out’ in their second year, and subsequently have the option of moving back into college for their final year, usually via a ballot system. The colleges provide a key role in the pastoral care and social centre of students with each running a collegetutorial system, along with JCRs providing events and societies for undergraduate members, MCRs being a centre for postgraduate students and the SCRs for the college officers, fellows and tutors. Thesecommon rooms are run by an executive committee, usually headed by a president.
杜伦大学的学生在校期间受各自学院管理。大多数学生在本科的第一年住在学院，第二年选择“住在外面”，然后在最后一年可以选择搬回学院，不过这通常要经由投票系统来决定。学院的导师制度在学生的精神关怀及社交方面发挥了重要作用。同时，各学院设有大学生联谊厅为本科生组织活动和组建社团所用，亦设有研究生联谊厅和教职工联谊厅分别作为研究生和教职工的活动中心。这些活动室由执行委员会管理，通常设主席领导。
Each college has a unique identity and a variety of facilities for students ranging from computer rooms and libraries to tennis courts and gyms. Most colleges have their own sports teams and compete in the collegiate leagues (such as Durham College Rowing) and may also have their own theatre and music societies, which operate in parallel to the university-level sports teams and organisations.
每个学院有各自的标志，为学生提供了多样的设施，包括计算机室、图书馆、网球场和健身房等等。大部分学院有自己的运动队并参加院际比赛，如杜伦学院赛艇比赛。学院还有自己的剧团及管弦乐队，与校级的运动队和其他组织平行运作。
