如果高等學(xué)府教育的目的是培養(yǎng)富翁，我們還會(huì)引以自豪嗎？ |
| When it comes to advertising campaigns, Harvard University never publicizes its billionaire graduates. Instead, it emphasizes the ranks of Nobel Prize winners and American presidents it has trained. Harvard has produced so many important political and academic figures over the past several hundred years because it grasps the basic principles of education. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard when he was in the third year of university. Without a doubt, Gates is richer than all of the 79 billionaires mentioned above. But Harvard never uses him as a publicity tool. |
哈佛大學(xué)的宣傳是說(shuō)他們的學(xué)子中出了多少個(gè)諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)得住，多少個(gè)總統(tǒng)；沒(méi)有宣傳出了多少個(gè)億萬(wàn)富翁。正是因?yàn)槿思依卫伟盐兆〗逃母驹瓌t，所以人家才會(huì)幾百年來(lái)做到真正的名副其實(shí)的人才輩出！要說(shuō)富有，哈佛一個(gè)輟學(xué)的比爾?蓋茨就比這79個(gè)加起來(lái)還牛；可是哈佛大學(xué)從來(lái)沒(méi)有拿比爾?蓋茨來(lái)粉飾自己。 |
| There is a phenomenon in China's film industry that if the plot for a movie seems too bland, directors simply insert a vulgar love story. It seems a similar phenomenon has now cropped up at Peking University. If the university fails to cultivate enough academic or political elites, it simply counts the number of rich graduates it has produced. We are at the precipice of losing our educational roots. |
當(dāng)今中國(guó)影視界流行這樣一句話：“戲不夠，情來(lái)湊?！北本┐髮W(xué)是不是也已經(jīng)淪落到“大師沒(méi)有，富翁來(lái)湊”的境地！嗚呼，教育之淪亡不遠(yuǎn)矣！ |

A university should not pride itself on the number of rich graduates it churns out. The ultimate purpose of education is to cultivate true talent. On one hand, these talented graduates should have the capacity to improve people's lives. On the other, they should be able to upgrade China's international status. Education officials should take a serious look at the regulations of the Imperial University of Peking drafted by Liang Qichao. It is not too late to correct our mistakes.

出幾個(gè)億萬(wàn)富翁猶“筑室”，小數(shù)也；大學(xué)教育，旨在出內(nèi)以修政富民，外以強(qiáng)國(guó)雪恥的人才，大數(shù)也！中國(guó)各級(jí)教育之主政者當(dāng)三思；并認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)、實(shí)踐梁?jiǎn)⒊摹毒煷髮W(xué)堂章程》亡羊補(bǔ)牢，或可有望。 |
