The Most Assigned Books in US Colleges
美国大学指定阅读书目
The website DegreeQuery recently analyzed more than 3.6 million syllabi from more than 2,500 colleges and universities made available by nonprofit research organization Open Syllabus to see what’s being read on campus. The results, released in January, include breakdowns of reading lists by state, across five study areas, and, interestingly, by whether a school is public or in the Ivy League.
DegreeQuery网站最近分析了非盈利研究机构Open Syllabus提供的2500多所高校的360多万份教学大纲，以了解大学生正在阅读的书籍内容。今年1月公布的调查结果包括按州列出的阅读清单明细、跨五个研究领域、并且很有趣地，分别列出公立学校以及常春藤学校的阅读清单。
The most assigned book across all of American higher education is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In the top public schools, Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style is at the top of the reading list, but the most assigned work of literature is Kate Chopin’s "Story of an Hour." Ivy students, meanwhile, are often found reading Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan.
美国高校中出现最多的书是玛丽·雪莱的《科学怪人》。在顶尖的公立学校里，斯特伦克和怀特的《风格的要素》排在阅读书目的首位，但指定最多的文学作品是凯特·肖邦的《一小时的故事》。同时，常青藤大学的学生们则经常在读的是托马斯·霍布斯的《利维坦》。
