the rest of his life. Already（adv.早已，已经; 先前; ）, by paying close attention to and interacting with（与…相互作用，与…相互影响; 与…相互配合; ）the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction（n.授课; 教诲; 传授的或获得的知识，课程; [计算机科学]指令; ）, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract（adj.抽象的，理论上的; 难解的; 抽象派的; 茫然的; n.抽象概念; 抽象派艺术作品; 摘要; [化]萃取物; vt.提取，分离; 转移（注意等）; 概括，摘录; <婉辞>剽窃;）than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the mystery of language. He has discovered it —babies don’t even know that language exists（vi.存在; 生存; 生活; 继续存在; ）— and he has found out how it works and learned to use it appropriately（adv.适当地; ）.

And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the “concepts（n.观念，概念; 观点; 思想，设想，想法; 总的印象;）” that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated（vt.使复杂化; 使错综，使混乱; 使卷入; 变复杂; adj.复杂的; 麻烦的; （昆虫的翅）纵折的; ）than the ones they do try to teach him.
