近日有媒体报道，北京第二外国语学院或将更名为旅游大学，引发热议。不论这则更名消息是否属实，我国不少高校热衷于更名的现象都值得关注与讨论。曾有人做过粗略统计，根据教育部网站公布的高校更名通知，2004年至今的8年来，竟有300余所高校更名。

Recent media reports,Beijing second foreign languages institute or university will be renamed as tourism,Sparked heated debate.No matter whether the name is true,Many colleges and universities in China are keen to change its name phenomenon worthy of attention and discussion.It has been done roughly,According to the ministry of education on the website of the college name change notice,8 years since 2004,More than 300 colleges and universities changed its name.

　　本来，“大学者，研究高深学问者也”，名字只是一个称呼，与学问高下并无直接关系。何况，一所大学尤其是历史久远的大学，其校名不仅承载着传统、更代表着学校的底蕴与内在的文化精神，如果频频更名，不仅是对历史的丢弃，也是文化传承的割裂。

originally,"Great scholar,Also the profound knowledge",Name is just a call,And there is no direct relationship between the learning.How much more,A university especially in the long history of the university,Their traditional names not only bearing the weight/More represents the cultural background and the inner spirit of the school,If the name change frequently,Not only for the discarding of history,And cultural inheritance.

　　可为什么一些大学如此热衷于更名呢？

But why some university so keen to change its name?

　　一些大学的更名，确是因为时代发展和自身定位变化的需要，有其合理之处。比如，海淀走读大学更名为北京城市学院，是因为“走读”的说法已经退出历史舞台。再比如，几所高校合并后，取一个大家都能接受、又能代表几所院校共性的校名也是必然之举。再比如，由于我国高等教育事业的发展，部分高校自身建制需要在系的基础上设立学院，就需要将校名从学院变更为大学。

Some of the university's name,Because time really need their own development and positioning changes,Has its reasonable.Such as the,Renamed Beijing haidian day university city college,Because of the"day"There have quit the historical stage.Another example,Several universities merged,Take a everyone can accept it/And they can represent a few colleges and universities is also necessary for common names.Another example,Due to the development of higher education in our country,Part of their own organizational system of colleges and universities needs to set up college on the basis of the system,Just need to change name from college to university.

　　但是，如果大学更名仅仅是为利益所驱动，更名只为逐利，则有悖于大学精神了。比如，将学院变更为大学，只是为了迎合一些考生盲目求大的心理；比如通过校名“升格”而希望占有更多科研经费与项目审批的机会，甚至个别高校负责人只是希望身份从“院长”晋级为“校长”。这样的更名，让人心痛，也让人觉得可悲。

but,If the university changed its name is only driven by interests,Name for profit,It goes against the spirit of university.Such as the,For the college school changes,Just in order to cater to the mentality of some students blindly pursuing big;For instance by names"upgrade"And hope to have more funding and project approval,Even head just hope from individual colleges and universities"Dean of the"Qualify for the"The headmaster".Such a name,Let a person heartache,Also let a person feel sad.

　　我们希望，国内的大学都是高水平且特色鲜明的，“百花齐放”而不是“千校一面”。但一些大学的校名越改，自身特色却越发淡薄，不少以“钢铁”、“农业”、“工业”见长的院校，校名中却不见了这些字眼。看起来，大学更加综合了，但同时也失去了特色。

We want to,Domestic universities are high level and characteristic,"flowers"Rather than"Thousand school side".But some of the names of the university of the change,Characteristic is increasingly weak,A lot of to"Iron and steel"/"agriculture"/"industrial"For the colleges and universities,Names were nowhere to be seen in these words.look,The university is more comprehensive,But at the same time also lost.

　　再看看世界著名大学，有斯坦福大学、哈佛大学这样的“大学”，也有加州理工学院、麻省理工学院这样的“学院”，还有加州大学伯克利分校这样的“分校”。不论是大学、学院，还是分校，这样的校名并不妨碍它们世界一流大学的声誉和地位。

Look at the world famous university,There are at Stanford university/The Harvard University"At the university",California institute of technology/Massachusetts institute of technology"college",And the university of California, Berkeley"At the".Whether it is a university/college,Still,,Such names does not prevent them world-class university's reputation and position.

　　其实，大学若真想为自身的发展添把火，改校名并非上策，还得从育人与科研这些真本事上下功夫。毕竟，“实至”方能“名归”。 赵婀娜
