51、。 Para. 2 在读一份对大学一年级新生作的调查报告时，我又想起了这种惋惜之情：“要是当初我就懂得了现在我领悟到的东西该有多好！”,新视野 大学英语,Para. 3 这份调查报告印证了我以前根据在梅肯和罗宾斯住宿中心对学生进行的非正式民意调查所作的推断：学生们认为如果某种东西（不管它是何物）没有实际意义，不能把它当酒喝、当烟抽、当钱花，那么 “它” 就基本毫无价值。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 4 基于对 188, 000 多名学生答卷的调查表明，当今的大学新生比这项民意测验开始 17 年以来的任何时候的大学新生都 “更主张消费主义，同时也少了些理想主义” 。,新视野 大学英语,Para

52、. 5 在这个经济不景气的时代，学生们的主要目标是追求 “经济上的富裕” 。与过去任何时候相比，树立有意义的人生哲学已不那么重要了。这一情况并不让人感到惊奇。因此，如今最受欢迎的课程不是文学或历史，而是会计学。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 6 如今人们对当教师、社会服务和人文学科、还有种族和妇女研究的兴趣都处于低潮。而另一方面，攻读商科、工程学及计算机科学的学生人数却在迅速增加。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 7 还有一件事也不令人意外。我的一个朋友（一个化工公司的销售代理）在干这份工作的第一年所挣的钱就已是大学教师薪水的两倍了这甚至还是在她修完两年制的准学士学位课程之前的事。,新视野 大学

53、英语,Para. 8 她喜欢说这样一句话：“我会对他们讲，他们学习音乐、历史、文学等等有什么用！”那还是四年以前呢，我都不敢想象她现在赚多少钱。 Para. 9 坦率地说，我为这位小姐感到骄傲（不是为她的态度，而是为她的成功）。但是我们为什么不能两全其美呢？我们就不能教会人们既懂得谋生，又懂得人生么？我相信我们能够做到。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 10 如果我们做不到这一点，那就是对我们从幼儿园、小学、中学直到大学的整个教育制度的否定。在一个日益专业化的时代，我们比过去任何时候都更需要了解什么是生活中真正重要的东西。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 11 这就是年龄和成熟所能带给人们的启示。

54、大多数年龄约在 30 至 50 岁之间的人都会最终得出一个必然的结论，即他们不应该仅仅是为某个公司、某个政府机构或任何其他单位服务。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 12 我们大多数人最终会认识到，生活质量并不完全是由资产负债表来决定的。诚然，每个人都想在经济上富裕点。但是我们还希望对自己职业范围以外的世界有所了解；我们希望能为我们的同胞和上帝效劳。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 13 如果说人要到步入中年才能对人生的含义有所领悟的话，那么为这种领悟扫清障碍不正是教育机构的责任吗？大多数人在年轻的时候怨恨从他们工资中扣钱交社会保险金，然而好像只是短短几年后，他们就发现自己正焦急地站在信箱旁边（等

55、待养老金支票）了。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 14a 虽然我们所有人都确实需要一份工作，最好是一份薪水丰厚的工作。但同样不容争议的事实是，我们的文明已经在我们各自的领域之外积累了巨大的知识财富。而且正因为我们理解了这些在其他领域的献不管是科学方面的，还是艺术方面的我们的人生才更完善。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 14b 同样地，我们在了解他人的智慧的同时，自己也学会了如何去思考。也许更重要的是，教育使我们的视野超越了眼前的需求，并使我们看到了事物间的联系。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 15 我们每周都在报纸上读到这样的消息：工会在为要求更高的工资而罢工，结果却只是使他们的老板破了产。没

56、有了公司，也就没有了工作岗位。从长远来看，他们的目光是何等的短浅！,新视野 大学英语,Para. 16 但是赞成全面教育的最重要的理由是，在学习世世代代积累起来的知识的同时，我们也提高了自己的道德感。最近我看了一幅漫画，描述了几个商人坐在会议桌周围，看上去困惑不解的样子。其中的一个正通过内部通话设备讲话：“巴克斯特小姐，” 他说，“是否可以请您叫一个能明辨是非的人来？”,新视野 大学英语,Para. 17 从长远观点来看，这确确实实是教育应该做的事。我认为教育完全能够做到这一点。我的一位大学室友现在是纽约一家大型航运公司的总裁过去曾主修过商科，这一点并不出人意料。但是他也曾在大学调频电台上主持

57、过一档古典音乐节目，并且在学习会计学的时候还在欣赏瓦格纳的音乐作品。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 18 这就是教育之道。奥斯卡 王尔德说得好：我们应该把我们的才能用于工作，而把我们的天赋投入到生活中去。,新视野 大学英语,Para. 19 我们希望我们的教育工作者能满足学生对职业教育的渴求，但与此同时，我们也要确保学生能为他们认识到自己目光短浅的那一天做好准备。人生的意义远远不止是工作。,新视野 大学英语,according to sb. / be spiritually barren / not number among men of wealth / in ones true color

58、,According to him, those who are financially well off but spiritually barren, in their true colors, do not number among men of wealth.,意 群 提 示,短 语 应 用,富裕,根据他的说法，那些经济上富裕但精神上空虚的人算不上真正意义的富豪。,to be well off,Back,新视野 短 语 应 用,短语逆 译,the IQ of sb. / the love-struck people,Evidence suggests that the IQ of lo
