The earning power of alumni from Stanford Graduate School of Business has propelled it to the top of the Financial Times Global MBA rankings for the first time.

斯坦福大学商学院(Stanford Graduate School of Business)凭借其毕业生的赚钱能力，首次荣登英国《金融时报》全球商学院排名的榜首（点击这里查看完整排名）。

The California school knocked London Business School and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the 2011 joint winners, from the number one slot.

位于加州帕罗奥多的斯坦福商学院，击败了2011年的并列冠军——伦敦商学院(London Business School)和宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院(Wharton business school)，夺得了今年的冠军头衔。

Stanford's breakthrough sees the Palo Alto school become only the fourth institution to take the number one slot in the annual FT ranking since its inception in 1999.

斯坦福商学院今年实现了重大突破，成为英国《金融时报》年度商学院排名自1999年创立以来的第四家冠军院校。

The FT rankings compile data across 20 different categories, including the international outlook of the school, research and ideas generation, and the success of graduates from the 100 ranked full-time MBA programmes. Stanford has increasingly dominated the category for the average salaries earned by alumni three years after graduation, and alumni have reported the highest post-MBA salaries for the past six years.

英国《金融时报》商学院排名的编纂涉及20个不同类别的数据，包括学校的国际前景、研究和思想成果、排名前100的全日制MBA项目毕业生的成就。在毕业三年后的平均工资这个类别上，斯坦福大学商学院的优势越来越明显，且据校友报道，该院MBA毕业生平均薪资过去6年来都是最高的。

This year, the figure, compiled over three years, stands at $191,657, nearly $14,000 more than the alumni of Stanford's nearest rival, Harvard Business School, which topped the FT rankings in 1999 and 2000. The rise of Stanford to the top of the league, at the expense of LBS, which dropped to number four this year, mirrors a more general trend in this year's table, in which US schools have reasserted their supremacy at the cost of European ones. Of the 47 US-based schools that feature in both the 2011 and 2012 rankings, 20 moved up the list this year. In contrast, only five of the 23 European schools listed in both years improved their position. In particular, average alumni salaries three years after graduation were lower in 2012 when compared with the previous year for 16 out of the 23 European schools listed.

今年斯坦福大学的毕业生平均工资（根据近3年数据编纂）为19.1657万美元，比第二名哈佛大学商学院高出近1.4万美元。哈佛大学商学院曾在1999和2000年两度获得英国《金融时报》商学院排名冠军。斯坦福大学商学院取代前任冠军伦敦商学院（今年排名下降至第三名）登上冠军宝座，反映了今年的一个普遍趋势——美国的商学院相对欧洲的商学院重新占据了优势。2011和2012年两度上榜的47家美国商学院中，有20家排名上升。而前两年连续上榜的23家欧洲商学院中，只有5家排名上升。特别是，在毕业生毕业三年后的平均工资方面，上榜的23家欧洲商学院中，有16家2012年的数据比上年有所下降。
