When I ask veteran college teachers and administrators to describe how college students have changed over the years, I often get an answer like this: "Today’s students are more accomplished than past generations, but they are also more emotionally fragile." That rings true to me.
And if you hang around the middle aged, you hear a common story line to explain the rise of the orchid generation. Once upon a time, the story line goes, kids were raised in a tough environment. 【F1】
But today, helicopter parents protect their children from setbacks and hardship; they supervise every playground conflict so kids never learn to handle disputes or deal with pain.
There’s a lot of truth to that narrative, but let’s not be too sentimental for the past. A lot of what we take to be the toughness of the past was really just heartlessness. 【F2】
There was a greater tendency in years gone by to wall off emotions, to put on a thick skin—for some men to be stone-like and uncommunicative and for some women to be brittle and untouchable.
Perhaps it’s time to rethink toughness. Being emotionally tough is not some defensive posture. It’s not having some armor surrounding you so that nothing can hurt you.
People are much stronger than they think they are when in pursuit of their purpose for living. In short, emotional fragility is not only caused by overprotective parenting. It’s also caused by anything that makes it harder for people to find their purpose for living. It’s caused by the culture of modem psychology, which sometimes tries to talk about psychological traits in isolation from moral purposes. 【F3】
It’s caused by the guiding beliefs of the modern university, which in the name of "critical thinking" encourages students to be detached and destructively skeptical.
It’s caused by the status code of modern meritocracy, which encourages people to pursue success symbols that they don’t actually desire.
【F4】
We are all fragile when we don’t know what our purpose is, when we haven’t thrown ourselves with abandon into a social role, when we haven’t committed ourselves to certain people, when we feel like a swimmer in an ocean with no edge.
【F5】
If you really want people to be tough, make them idealistic for some cause, make them tender for some other person, make them committed to some worldview that puts today’s temporary pain in the context of a larger hope.
Emotional fragility seems like a psychological problem, but it has only a philosophical answer. People are really tough only after they have taken a leap of faith for some truth or mission or love.
【F5】
选项
答案
如果真的想让人们变得坚韧,就让他们对某个奋斗目标心怀理想,让他们温柔对待其他人,让他们坚信某个世界观,即如今暂时的痛苦会换来未来更大的希望。
解析
①本句为主从复合句,主句由三个并列的祈使句构成,还包含一个定语从句。②主句中三个并列的祈使句里,idealistic for some cause,tender for some other person和committed to some worldview分别在三个祈使句里作宾语补足语,补充说明宾语的状态或特质。③最后一个祈使句包含一个定语从句,修饰worldview。句末的of a larger hope作the context的后置定语,说明the context的特点是“有更大希望的”。
