笔译 全国翻译资格水平考试三级 教育篇 UNIT 5 EDUCATION

学无止境
由小学到中学,所修习的无非是一些普通的基本知识。

就是大学四年,所授课业也还是相当粗浅的学识。

世人常称大学为“最高学府”,这名称易滋误解,好像过此以上即无学问可言。

大学的研究所才是初步研究学问的所在,在这里作学问也只能算是粗涉藩篱,注重的是研究学问的方法与实习。

学无止境,一生的时间都嫌太短,所以古人皓首穷经,头发白了还是在继续研究,不过在这样的研究中确是有浓厚的趣味。

在初学的阶段,由小学至大学,我们们与其倡言趣味,不如偏重纪律。

一个合理编列的课程表,犹如一个营养均衡的食谱,里面各个项目都是有益而必需的,不可偏废,不可再有选择。

所谓选修科目也只是在某一项目范围内略有拣选余地而已。

一个受过良好教育的人,犹如一个科班出身的京剧演员,在坐科的时候他是要服从严格纪律的,唱工、作工、武把子都要认真学习,各种角色的戏都要完全谙通,学成之后才能各按其趣味而单独发展其所长。

学问要有根底,根底要打得平正坚实,以后永远受用。
