A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学术
Academic
I've felt for some time that economics needs to be taught differently by economists who actually have had experience making a payroll or investing on Wall Street. When economics is taught by pure academics, watch out.
一段时间以来,我一直觉得,经济学需要由那些实际上在华尔街工作或投资过的经济学家以不同的方式教授。当经济学由纯学术人士讲授时,要小心。
Meanwhile, parents, students and teachers all report higher satisfaction with charter schools. People like them. They cost less money. They raise the academic achievement of poor kids. Go ahead, get a little enthused.
与此同时,家长、学生和老师对特许学校的满意度都更高。人们喜欢他们。他们花费更少的钱。他们提高了贫困儿童的学业成绩。来吧,有点热情。
I like roles that are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, and there's special appeal in exploring these slightly forgotten plays that people might think of as subjects for academic term papers instead of live theater.
我喜欢极端的角色,探索这些被人遗忘的戏剧有特殊的吸引力,人们可能会把它们当作学期论文的主题,而不是现场戏剧。
My first experiences of academic friendship made me smile in after years when I looked back on them. But my circle of acquaintances had gradually grown so large that it was only natural new friendships should grow out of it.
多年后,当我回首往事时,我第一次体验到的学术友谊让我微笑。但是,我的熟人圈子逐渐扩大了,因此自然而然地就产生了新的友谊。
I never felt I was quite the ticket academically. I always felt I had to put in an enormous amount of effort not to be disappointing. So I worked really hard, but at the time it suited me, because I didn't do very much else.
我从来没有觉得自己在学业上完全够格。我总是觉得我必须付出巨大的努力不让自己失望。所以我非常努力地工作,但在那个时候它很适合我,因为我没有做太多其他的事情。
I served the famous professors and scholars, and eventually they learned that the Reverend Moon is superior to them. Even Nobel laureate academics who thought they were at the center of knowledge are as nothing in front of me.
我为著名的教授和学者服务,最终他们知道了文在寅牧师比他们优越。即使是诺贝尔奖得主学者,他们认为自己是知识的中心,在我面前也毫无意义。
Being named a great school at a great price means that we offer both high-quality academic programs and real affordability for families. We offer a personal touch that's hard to match at a big school but without a big price tag.
被评为好学校意味着我们提供高质量的学术课程和真正的家庭负担能力。我们提供的个性化服务,在一所大学校是难以匹敌的,但价格不菲。
I hope telling stories though 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and nonprofit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.'
我希望通过讲故事来“有所作为”——就像我的学术工作和非营利性工作一样——帮助我践行祖母的格言:“生活不在于发生在你身上的事情,而在于你如何对待发生在你身上的事情。”
Being a full time coach doesn't mean that we practice more than other teams. In fact we have strict regulations about the length of our practices and playing season. The academic schedule here means that I rarely have a full team at any one practice!
作为一名全职教练并不意味着我们比其他球队练习得更多。事实上,我们对训练时间和赛季都有严格的规定。这里的课程表意味着我很少有一个完整的团队在任何一个实践!
The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.
玩扑克的人知道,有时候科学和常识都是错误的;大黄蜂会飞;也许,一个人永远不应该相信专家;天地间的事比那些有学术倾向的人所能梦想到的还要多。
Oversimplification is now a common term of reproach in academic discussions; everyone is against oversimplification. But there is no parallel term nearly as frequently used to describe the opposite phenomenon, which surely occurs as often, if not more so.
如今,在学术讨论中,过分简单化是一个常见的指责用语;每个人都反对过于简单化。但是,几乎没有一个平行术语像它那样频繁地用于描述相反的现象,而相反的现象即使没有发生得更多,也肯定会发生得同样频繁。
But I would much prefer students going to college to learn and be prepared for the rigors of the new economic order, rather than dumping fees on them to subsidize football programs that, far from enhancing the academic mission instead make a mockery of it.
但我更希望学生们去大学学习,并为新经济秩序的严酷做好准备,而不是向他们收费来资助足球项目,这非但不能增强学术使命,反而是对它的嘲弄。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
In common with many others in the varied branches of our profession, my academic education is subnormal.
和我们这个行业不同领域的许多人一样,我的学术教育水平不高。
My parents started with very little and were the only ones in their families to graduate from college. As parents, they focused on education, but did not stop at academics - they made sure that we knew music, saw art and theatre and traveled - even though it meant budgeting like crazy.
我的父母从很小的时候开始,他们是家里唯一的大学毕业生。作为父母,他们专注于教育,但并不止步于学术——他们确保我们了解音乐,观看艺术和戏剧,旅行——即使这意味着疯狂的预算。
Another law of academic life: it is impossible to be excessive in flattery of one’s peers.
