某高校一栋教学楼以XXX商标命名,此举引发热议。
【正确答案】Candidate A:
This picture shows some universities name some of their teaching buildings after well-known brands which recently triggered heated debates. People blamed the university for "selling itself" and labeled it as the "falling of the spirit of universities," while others said it was normal for campus buildings to be named after a donor.
Candidate B:
Yes, it's a common practice to name university buildings after prominent figures who have given large donations. But to have a company's name on a classroom building seems improper.
Candidate A:
For me, the problem lies in the growing demands of the fast-developing universities and limited government education funds. On the one hand, it is necessary for universities to seek social capital for sustainable development of higher education. On the other hand, universities should not be too commercialized. The channels of cooperation could be diversified, such as providing more training chances and technical support.
Candidate B:
I can not agree with you more. I think the prestigious university spirit should not be sold at a low price. Instead, it should be cherished and highly valued. It just can not be changed so easily and frivolously.
Candidate A:
Yes, such a naming may make people feel the history of the university was lightened and the dignity of the university was not respected. Some names would even make the university a laughing stock. So, any naming should be carefully weighed and a poll is expected to elicit public opinions if necessary.
