Select one of these universities if you harbour dreams of becoming a billionaire
如果你有成为亿万富翁的梦想，选择这些学校其中一所。
Let’s face it, we all want to be billionaires. While your choice of university or course might not directly influence your chances of becoming a billionaire, it certainly could help. 不得不承认，我们都想成为亿万富翁。虽然选择的大学或课程不会直接让你变成亿万富翁，但肯定有所帮助。
An analysis of the top 250 billionaires from the latest Forbes Rich List explored where they went to university and the subjects that they studied. However, interestingly it found that of the 196 people that had attended university (or where there was public information of their alma mater) 17 of them were dropouts.
对福布斯最新富豪榜前250位亿万富翁的分析，研究了他们在哪里上的大学以及学习的什么专业。而有趣的是研究发现，在196名上过大学（或说母校信息已对外公开）的富豪中，有17人辍学。
Harvard University produced the highest number of billionaires with seven graduates in total. Lund University in Sweden was the only non-US university to feature in the top five with four billionaires.
哈佛大学毕业生中有7名亿万富翁，人数最多；瑞典隆德大学是唯一一所跻身前五的非美国大学，有4位亿万富翁。
The analysis also looked at the subjects that the billionaires chose to study while at university. Some 34 of the billionaires (with public information) had studied an engineering degree, while 27 has studied a business degree and 26 had studied an economics/finance degree. The fourth most common degree subject was philosophy, with six billionaires taking the subject and law was the fifth most common degree subject.
这项分析还研究了亿万富翁大学选修的科目。约34位亿万富翁（据公开信息）获得过工程学位；27位获得过商业学位；26位获得过经济或金融学位。排名第四的选修专业是哲学，有6位曾主修该专业；法律是排名第五的专业。

一、while作为并列连词,意思为“而,然而”,表前后意义上的对比或转折。本文例句： Some 34 of the billionaires (with public information) had studied an engineering degree, while 27 has studied a business degree and 26 had studied an economics/finance degree.
二、while引导状语从句,有以下两种含义：
1．表示某个动作正在进行的同时,另一动作也在进行之中,这时主从句都用进行时态,有对同类的两个动作进行对比的意味.如：
While I was playing the piano, she was dancing．我在弹钢琴,她在跳舞.
2．表示某个动作正在进行时,又发生了另一动作（该动作用一般过去时）.如：
While we were swimming in the river,we saw a fish jump out of the water．我们正在河中游泳时,看见一条鱼跃出了水面.
三、while还有以下几种常见用法：
1.在…期间；当…时候
本文例句：The analysis also looked at the subjects that the billionaires chose to study while at university.
2．只要（＝as long as）
There will be life while there is water and air．只要有空气和水,就会有生命.
3．而；然而〔表示对比〕
He is a driver while I'm a teacher．他是司机,而我是老师.
4．虽然（＝although）；尽管〔表示让步〕
While I see what you say,I can't agree with you．虽然我能理解你说的话,但是我不能同意你.
5．用作名词,表示“一会儿或一段时间”,常与a,the或this等连用.如：
Just wait a while and then I will help you.等一下,我会来帮你的.
Where have you been all this while? 这一阵子你一直都在哪儿?
四、while所引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词只能是延续性动词。本文例句：While your choice of university or course might not directly influence your chances of becoming a billionaire, it certainly could help.
