might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words but they actually come from James March a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making For years March possibly the wisest philosopher of management has studied how humans think and act and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning Experience is respected experience is sought experience is explained The problem is that learning from experience involves 涉及 serious complications 复杂化 ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book In one interesting part of the book for example he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning In our efforts to make stories interesting he argues we lose part of the complicated truth of things He says The more accurately 精确地 reality is presented the less understandable the story and the more understandable the story the less realistic it is Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher March is also a poet and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses Though the book is short it is demanding Don t pick it up looking for quick easy lessons Rather be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life 多年来 人们强调经验型学习 而一位名叫 James Mark 的却说 经验可能是最好的老 师 却不是一个特别好的老师 通过对于经验型学习 本文介绍了 James Mark 的关于经验 的书 13 According

experiential learning D Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described 答案 B 细节判断题 在倒数第二段中 James 所说的话中 to make stories more interesting we lose part of the complicated truth
