Eton College, often referred to simply as Eton, is a British independent school for boys aged 13 to 18. It was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI as The Kings College of Our Lady of Eton besides Wyndsor. It is located in Eton, near Windsor in England, and is one of the original nine English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868. Eton has traditionally been referred to as the chief nurse of Englands statesmen, and has been described as the most famous public school in the world. 伊顿公学（Eton College坐落在伦敦20英里的温莎小镇，是英国最著名的贵族中学。地处白金汉郡的泰晤士河河畔，与女王钟爱的温莎宫隔岸相望，伊顿公学是一座古老的学府，由亨利六世于1440年创办。伊顿以“精英摇篮”、“绅士文化”闻名世界，也素以管理严格著称，学生成绩大都十分优异，被公认是英国最好的中学，是英国王室、政界经济界精英的培训之地。这里曾造就过20位英国首相，培养出诗人雪莱、经济学家凯恩斯，也是英国王子威廉和哈里的母校。伊顿每年250名左右的毕业生中，70余名进入牛津、剑桥，70%进入世界名校。 　　伊顿公学，于1440年由英王亨利六世创办，素有“绅士摇篮”的声誉。这所学校，名为“公学”（public school），实际上是一 所私立中学。 亨利六世将之命名为公学的原意是为贫穷学生提供免费教育，让贫穷孩子也能进入该校读书，作为进入剑桥大学的国王学院的预备学校。 　　不料到了17世纪，伊顿公学反而逐渐成为英国最著名的贵族学校，因为贵族子弟都以能够进入这所学校为荣，争相入学，形成一种高贵气氛，平民子弟反而可望不可即，致使该校逐渐变成一所等级森严、面向贵族子弟开放的学校。 近年来，英国私校都从以前的男女分校纷纷改为男女合校，但伊顿仍保持男校制不变。这所私立寄宿制的男子中学目前有约1,400名13至18岁的学生，都是由中学读到大学预科的男孩。 伊顿总结： 1)中学+大学预科；2）私立、缴费；3）只有男生；4）英国政治家摇篮；5）号称最著名的“公学”。 Islam: the state religion Arabic: the official langu
