　　多位中央民族大学学生称，学校3年前校名英译为“Central University for Nationalities”，之后被学校更新。“民族的英译Nationalities，被汉语拼音minzu替代”。“不清楚为什么用拼音替代，可能在国外不易理解吧。”该校学生猜测。

Many students said the central university for nationalities，The school three years ago names for the English translation“Central University for Nationalities”，After the update by the school。“The English translation of ethnic Nationalities，Be Chinese pinyin minzu instead”。“Not clear why use pinyin alternative，May not understand it in foreign countries。”The students of the speculation。

　　昨日，记者查阅多个校名中含有“民族”字样的高校，除贵州民族大学和中央民族大学翻译中用“minzu”之外，其他多所高校均未用汉语拼音直译。

校方证实更改 School officials confirmed that change

　　昨日，记者在中央民族大学官网查询发现，2008年12月8日发布的一则《中央民族大学关于启用新英文校名的通知》。《通知》称，经中央民族大学2008年11月20日校长办公会议研究通过，自2008年11月20日开始，学校启用新英文校名Minzu University of China。在日常工作和对外宣传、联系时规范使用新英文校名，维护学校英文校名的严肃性。

说法 statement

“Minzu”更准确更自信 “minzu”More accurate and more confident

　　2012年5月21日，贵州民族大学在官网发布消息称，贵州民族大学英文名称的“Guizhou University For Nationalities”更改为“Guizhou Minzu University” 。

May 21, 2012，Guizhou minorities university announced in's official website，Guizhou minorities university English name“Guizhou University For Nationalities”Changed to“Guizhou minzu University” 。

　　同时，该校发布了多条更改理由。一是当今中国的一个趋势。由于中国的崛起和强大，很多大学和大企业都在自己的英语、西安交通大学，他们如果要用英语中交通（transportation）这个词，一点也不会产生含混，但他们都把汉语拼音交通“Jiaotong”用进了自己的英语名称。

At the same time，The school released more reason for change。A China today is a trend。Due to the rise of China and powerful，Many universities and large enterprise are in their English、Xi 'an jiaotong university，If they want to use English in traffic（Transportation）The word，Also won't produce a bit vague，But they all use Chinese pinyin traffic“Jiaotong”Use into his English name。

　　二是作为民族大学的龙头中央民族大学已将英语名称改为“Minzu University of China”，兄弟民族院校跟着改也是顺理成章。

2 it is to serve as the national university leading the central university for nationalities has name changed to English“minzu University of China”，Brother ethnic institutions to follow is ripe。

　　三是用“Nationality”概念比较含混。牛津高阶英汉双解词典对“Nationality”的解释是：（构成国家一部分的）民族群体，而中国的民族大学，毫无疑问应该是包含汉族在内的全体中华民族的大学。

3 it is to use“nationality”Concept more than。Oxford advanced learner's english-chinese dictionary“nationality”Explanation is：（A part of the country）National groups，And China's national university，There is no doubt that should be contains all the han people, the Chinese national university。

　　而且 “Nationality”的第一意思是国籍，其意思解释顺序是：国籍、国家、民族、部落。“民族”的意思排在第三位，不小心会翻译成“国籍大学”或“部落大学”等。（记者申志民 实习生付饶）

and “nationality”The first of the mean nationality，Its meaning interpretation is order：nationality、national、national、tribe。“national”Meaning is ranked third in the world，Don't be careful will translate into“Nationality university”or“Tribal university”etc。（Reporter ShenZhiMin interns pay to spare）
