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 muses and cures—why adults need education and what, if anything, they can do about it.
选项
答案
假如我们的中小学和大学都处于最佳状态(实际上不可能),假如学生出类拔萃且聪慧绝顶,而且在运用他们的才能方面又很勤奋,那么情况也许会是那样。
解析
这个句子是主从复合句,句架为That would be the case if our schools and colleges...which....and even if...。主句为That would be the case,其后是由if及even if引导的条件状语从句,前一个从句中,which引导的是非限制定语从句,其先行词是our schools and colleges were at their very best这个句子。词汇方面,at one’s best"处于最佳状态";conscientious"认真(负责)的,勤勤恳恳的"。
