Oxford is the oldest surviving university in the English-speaking world, dating back at least as far as the 11th century. 牛津大學是英語世界現存最古老的大學，至少可以追溯到 11 世紀。（date back (ph.) 追溯）

It consists of 38 colleges, which were gradually united under the umbrella of Oxford University. 它由 38 個學院組成，這些學院是逐步併入牛津大學傘下的。
These colleges are run independently, but they all function on the basis of tutorials, supported by lectures and individual faculty facilities such as libraries, lodgings, and common rooms. 這些學院是獨立運作的，但它們都以導師輔導課為基礎，由講座和獨立的學院設施支撐協助，如圖書館、住宿和公共休息室等。（faculty (n.) (學校的) 全體教員；(身體)官能；能力；系、院）

The mystique of Oxford is recurrent in popular culture, too. 牛津的神秘色彩在流行文化中也屢見不鮮。（mystique (n.) 神秘氣氛；神秘性）

We recognize the university’s Bodleian Library—the second-largest in Britain—from the Harry Potter films: it becomes Hogwarts’ hospital wing. 我們從哈利波特電影中認出了該大學的博德利圖書館——英國第二大圖書館：它成為霍格華茲的醫院翼樓。
A James Bond film, An Education, and the hit TV series Lost have also featured the campus. 詹姆士·龐德電影、《名媛教育》和熱門電視劇《LOST檔案》也以牛津大學的校園為特色。
Perhaps Oxford’s most famous association with popular culture stems from Lewis Carroll—who spent most of his life as a student and teacher there—and his novels, Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. 也許牛津與流行文化最著名的聯繫源於路易斯·卡羅——他一生大部分時間都是在那裡作為學生和老師度過的——以及他的小說《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》和《愛麗絲鏡中奇遇記》。
(D) Alice Liddell, daughter of an Oxford dean at the time, was the girl on whom Carroll based the world-famous character, and some scenes from his stories are set in and around the Oxford campus. 愛麗絲·利德爾（Alice Liddell）是當時牛津大學院長的女兒，卡羅就是以這個女孩為原型打造了世界著名的角色，而且他故事中的一些場景是以牛津大學校園內和周邊地區為背景的。

(A) It is also a place where magic happens. 這也是一個魔法發生的地方。
