Translation and Writing

A 阿诺德.汤恩比说过,一切进步,一切发展均来自挑战及由此引起的反应。没有挑战就没有反应,没有发展,没有自由。所以,我们首先应该在我们孩子的能力所允许的范围内为他们开设要求最严格,最富有挑战的课程。

我们可以向我们的孩子提供的第二个机会是允许他们有失败的权利。德.纽伊写到:“自由不仅是一种特权,也是一种考验。”如果没有人可以失败,那它算什么考验,算什么自由呢?美国可以向所有在高中读完四年课程而不管其是否取得任何收获的学生发毕业文凭的日子已经一去不复返了。我们现在生活在一个越来越小的世界里,我们必须对现实保持清醒的认识;而现实主义要求树立一个要么成功要么失败的标准。这些话听起来很刺耳,但都是残酷的事实。如果我们剥夺了孩子们失败的权利,实际上我们就剥夺了他们如何如实地认识世界的机会。

1. Today’s university students are struggling to establish themselves, but they still have

ambiguous feelings about their future.

2. A man cannot realize his values without finding a center beyond him. So the idealistic

undergraduate experience must help the student transcend himself.

3. We eagerly hope that the lessons learned in the university will reveal themselves in our

performance in the workplace and further education.

4. It cannot go unchallenged to say that the 4-year undergraduate experience is the only path to

success in life.

5. We run the risk of making critical decisions, not on the basis of what we know, the findings of

investigations, and the data of experiments, but on the basis of blind faith in professed experts.

6. Our task needs a large group of well-informed, caring young people who can band together,

learn from each other, and actively participate in the four modernizations.

7. If it is to endure, the new school should help the students not only acquire a solid basic

education and become competent in a specific field, but also be ready to commit themselves

to others.

8. It is not too much to say that if undergraduates excessively devote themselves to examinations,

they will push competence and commitment to the fringes.

9. I didn’t even speak to him, much less discuss the reconstruction of your school with him. 2 10. Some people think examinations are second to none, but some think examinations have a lot

of disadvantages. Examinations leave us an open essential question—what influence do

examinations exert on education?
