问答题 我们须放弃一个人的知识有法子可以考验或测量的概念。庄子说的好:“吾生也有涯,而知也无涯。”寻求知识,终不过是像去发现一个新大陆。我们如用一种坦白的、好奇的、富于冒险性的心胸去维持这个探索精神,而这种寻求行为便永远是一种快乐,而不是痛苦了,我们应该舍弃那种规定的,划一的,被动的强记事实方法,而将这种积极滋长的个人快乐定为理想目标。文凭和学分如一旦废除,或仅仅值其所实值,学问的寻求即能趋于积极。因为那时做学生的至少要自问为什么而读书了。这句问话,在眼下是无需他来答复的,因为现在每个学生都知道他为了要升入大二,所以在大一读书;为了升入大三,所以在二年级读书。这种外加的意念,其实都应该丢弃,因为寻求知识,完全是自己的事情,而和旁人不相干的。无
【正确答案】We must give up the idea that a man’s knowledge can be tested or measured in any form whatsoever. Chuangtse has well said, “Alas, my life is limited, while knowledge is limitless!” The pursuit of knowledge is, after all, only like the exploration of a new continent. It will remain a pleasure, instead of becoming a torture, if the spirit of exploration with an open, questioning, curious and adventurous mind is maintained. Instead of the measured, uniform and passive cramming of information, we have to place this ideal of a positive, growing individual pleasure. Once the diploma and the marks are abolished, or treated for what they are worth, the pursuit of knowledge becomes positive, for the student is at least forced to ask himself why he studies at all. At present, the question is already answered for the student, for there is no question in his mind that he studies as a freshman in order to become a sophomore, and studies as a sophomore in order to become a junior. All such extraneous considerations should be brushed aside, for the acquisition of knowledge is nobody else’s business but one’s own.
