For more than 40 years, a controlling insight in my educational philosophy has been the recognition that no one has ever been—no one can be—educated in school or college.
(46)
That would be the case if our schools and colleges were at their very best, which they certainly are not, and even if the students were among the best and the brightest as well as conscientious in the application of their powers.
The reason is simply that youth itself—immaturity—is an unconquerable obstacle to becoming educated. Schooling is for the young. Education comes later, usually much later. (47)
The very best thing for our schools to do is to prepare the young for continued learning in later life by giving them the skills of learning and the love of it. Our schools and colleges are not doing that now, but that is what they should be doing.
(48)
To speak of an educated young person or of a wise young person, rich in the understanding of basic ideas and issues, is as much a contradiction in terms as to speak of a round square.
The young can be prepared for education in the years to come, but only mature men and women can become educated, beginning the process of their 40s and 50s and reaching some amount of genuine insight, sound judgment and practical wisdom after they have turned 60.
This is what no high school or college graduates know or can understand. As a matter of fact, most of their teachers do not seem to know it. (49)
In their obsession with covering ground and in the way in which they test or examine their students, they certainly do not act as if they understood that they were only preparing their students for education in later life rather than trying to complete it within the realms of their institutions.
There is, of course, some truth in the ancient insight that awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom. But, remember, it is just the beginning. From there on one has to do something about it. (50)
And to do it intelligently one must know something of its causes and cures—why adults need education and what, if anything, they can do about it.
选项
答案
要明智地做到这件事(指认识无知),一个人必须对无知的原因及其对策有所了解—了解成年人为什么需要教育,进而看看他们对此还能做些什么努力。
解析
这个句子比较简单。本句开头的不定式短语用作目的状语,主句为one must know something of its causes and cures,破折号之后的内容补充说明causes and cures。if anything"如果有什么别的话",在句中是插入语,起条件状语的作用。
