A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学术
Academic
All the rest of us - you and me and even the thousands of soldiers behind the lines in Africa - we want terribly yet only academically for the war to get over.
我们所有的人——你和我,甚至是在非洲前线的成千上万的士兵——我们非常希望战争能够结束,但只是在学术上。
Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports.
他们能两者兼顾吗?这是一个巨大的平衡,我认为,和孩子们——试图找到正确的——这是一切,你知道,这是社会生活,这是学术,这是体育。

The PhD system is the real root of the evil of academic snobbery. People who have PhDs consider themselves a priesthood, and inventors generally don't have PhDs.

To the extent that tenure supports academic freedom, I support tenure. I want no person or system to have any power, real or apparent, to chill academic freedom.

Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high-minded than gallerists.
当然,艺术界的道德规范很重要。但博物馆并不比任何其他机构或企业更纯粹。学者并不一定比画廊家高尚。

沿着这个主题,再读几句。
