Trying to shed its elitist image, Cambridge has approached the producers of Britain’s three leading TV soaps about including it in their story lines. 为了摆脱其精英形象，剑桥大学找到英国三家顶尖电视肥皂剧的制作商，商量把剑桥写进他们的剧情中去。
Spokesman Greg Hayman said the idea was part of a bid to correct the perception that Cambridge was “not for young people from ordinary backgrounds”.剑桥大学发言人格雷·海曼说，这一想法部分是为了纠正人们对剑桥“不属于背景普通的年轻人”的观念。
In some ways Oxford and Combridge–elegant, affluent universities known collectively as “Oxbridge”–resemble U.S. Ivy League schools which have long tried to attract minority and less well-off students through scholarships and outreach programs.在某些方面，牛津和剑桥——这两所高雅而又富有的大学被合称为“牛剑”——近似美国的常春藤盟校，常春藤盟校早已设法通过奖学金和扩大服务范围的计划吸引少数族裔和家庭经济条件较差的学生。
