SEATTLE — With hometown companies like Amazonand Microsoft, this bustling region on the PugetSound easily ranks in the top tier of technology hubsin the United States.
西雅图——作为亚马逊(Amazon)和微软(Microsoft)等公司的家乡,位于普及湾(Puget Sound)的这个繁荣区域,可以轻松跻身美国一流科技中心之列。
But the area lags its peers in one glaring way: It ishome to a single major research university, theUniversity of Washington, while nearly every otherbig technology scene in the country has at leasttwo.
但与美国其他大型科技中心相比,它有一个明显的薄弱环节:这里只有一所重要的研究型大学,即华盛顿大学(University of Washington),而其他中心至少有两所这种档次的大学。

Smith, Microsoft’s generalcounsel.
多年来,这个薄弱环节令当地人感到不安,因为这里对计算机相关人才的需求激增,而对人才的培养却不足,其差距有可能会阻碍该地区的经济发展。“我们早就意识到,在高等教育方面,我们相对处在劣势,微软总法律顾问布拉德福德·L·史密斯(Bradford L. Smith)说。
