Which Chinese university produces the most billionaires? Which university boasts the mostoutstanding schoolfellow? For years, it has been a tight race between Tsinghua University and Peking University, with the ladder always maintaining a slight edge.
国内哪所大学造就的亿万富豪校友最多?谁又是培养杰出校友最多的高校?在这个问题上，很多年来清华大学和北京大学都难分胜负，而通常北大略占优势。
However, according to a new list of billionaire alumni from Chinese universities, released Monday by Chinese University Alumnus Association, Tsinghua University has finally gained an upper hand. The school boasted 84 billionaires in 30 years since the reform and opening up with a combined worth of 300 billion yuan (US$47.45 billion), surpassing Peking University for the first time.
然而，中国校友会网周一发布的《2012中国大学杰出校友排行榜》显示，自改革开放30多年来，清华大学培养和造就了84名亿万富豪校友，校友财富合计近3000亿元，首次超越北大成为中国造富大学排行榜冠军。
Nonetheless, alumni from Peking University maintain a solid lead in terms of prestige. The schooltopped the list of 2012 Distinguished Alumni, producing 456 distinguished politicians, academictalents and businessmen since 1952. Tsinghua University ranked second with 292.
尽管如此，以校友名望论，北京大学的地位依旧不可动摇。《2012中国大学杰出校友排行榜》总榜单仍是北京大学居首，1952年(含)以后毕业于北京大学的政学商界杰出人才最多，有456人。其次是清华大学，有292人，名列第二。
A total of 8,000 distinguished people participated in the survey, including over 1,400 politicians, over 3,600 scholars and over 2,600 business leaders.
这次新公布的榜单共调研了我国各领域杰出人才合计近8000人。其中，政界杰出人才1400多人，学界杰出人才3600多人，此外还有商界杰出人才2600多人。
The list also shows off Chinese universities’ abilities in creating wealthy individuals. Among more than 800 Chinese billionaires with top educational backgrounds, Tsinghua University’s 84 surpassed Peking University’s 82. The combined worth of the billionaires on the list is 4.5 trillion yuan (US$711.7 billion).
该榜单同时显示了中国大学的“造富职能”。2011年上榜的拥有高等教育背景的亿万富豪有800多人，财富合计约4.5万亿元。其中，清华大学培养和造就的亿万富豪校友最多，有84名;北京大学有82人，名列第二。
