另一个学年-为了什么

又一学年-为了什么？

John Ciardi

Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher. It was January of 1940 and I was fresh out of graduate school(研究所) starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City^{美国堪萨斯大学城}. Part(部分，一部分 局部) of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class, sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something." Two weeks later we started Hamlet. Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips^{双手放在髋部}. "Look," he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff?" And not having a book of his own to point to（现在分词作原因状语）, he pointed to mine which was lying on the desk.

给你讲讲我当老师时候的一次失败经历吧。那是19040年的1月，我从研究生院毕业不久，在堪萨斯城大学开始{dy}学期的教学工作。一个瘦高，长的就像顶上有毛的豆角架一样的男学生走进我的课堂，坐下，双臂交叉放在胸前，看着我，好像在说好吧。教我一些东西。两周后我们开始学习哈姆雷特。三周后他两手叉腰走进我的办公室 看 他说 我来这是学习当药剂师的。我为什么必须读这个？由于没有随身带着自己的书，他就指着桌子上反着的我的那本。

New as I was to the faculty, I could have本可以 told this specimen a number of things. I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanics制药技工培训 school, but in a college and that at the end of his course毕业时 meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science. It would not read: Qualified Pill-Grinding Technician. It would certify that he had specialized专修过 in pharmacy药剂学, but it would further进一步 certify that he had been exposed to some of the ideas mankind has generated产生 within its history人类发展史. That is to say换句话说, he had not entered a technical training school but a university and in universities students enroll for both training培训 and education.

尽管对于教师来讲我是个新人，我还是可以告诉这个家伙一些事情的。我可以告诉他他已经入学了，不是在药店技校而是一所大学，并且在课程的{zh1}意味着他要拿到理科的学士学位证书。证书上写的不是合格的药丸研磨技术员。它会证明他在药剂师反面已经到达专业水准，但更证明了他已经接触了一些人类在历史上早已形成的思想。就是说他并没有进入技校而进入大学，在大学里学生入学是为了专业训练和教育两方面。

虽然我是位新老师，我本来可以告诉这个家伙许多事情的。我本来可以指出，他考入的不是制药技工培训学校而是大学，而且在他毕业时，应该得到一张写有理学学士而不是合格的磨药工的学位证书。这证书会证明他专修过药剂学，但它还能进一步证明他曾经接触过一些人类发展史上产生的思想。换句话说，他上的不是技能培训学校而是大学，在大学里学生既要得到培训又要接受教育。

I could have told him all this, but it was fairly obvious he wasn't going to be around在某地在附近 long enough for^{long for渴望羡慕} it to matter^{要紧有关系，有重大影响}.

?我应该告诉他这一切，但是很明显这些对于他将不能在行业中长时间突出是有关系的。

我本来可以把这些话都告诉他，但是很明显，他不会呆很长时间，说了也没用

Nevertheless, I was young and I had a high sense of duty and I tried to设法 put it this way^{用这种方式表达}: "For the rest of your life," I said, "your days are going to average out to about twenty-four hours. They will be a little shorter when you are in love, and a little longer when you are out of love, but the average will tend to hold保持不变. For eight of these hours, more or less大约, you will be asleep."

尽管如此，我当时年轻又高度的责任感，我尝试着用这种方式表达"你剩下的生命，日子平均每天24小时。当你恋爱时它有点短，你失恋时它又有点长，但平均起来还是趋向于你能掌控的。{yt}其中或多或少八个小时你将用来睡觉。"

但是，由于我当时很年轻而且责任感也很强，我尽量把我的意思这样表达出来：在你的余生中我说 平均每天24小时左右。谈恋爱时你会觉得他有点短。失恋时你会觉得他有点长。但平均每天24小时会保持不变。在其中的大约八个小时的时间里你会处于睡眠状态。
