Contemporary society offers so many ways of learning that reading books is no longer very important.
In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books.
a) 电视媒体有很多有点。documenting and conveying temporal, spatial events and experiences。比如通过电视节目来了解动物的生活习性,或者表现山川河流的壮观景色来吸引游客。Thus the speakers claim has some merit when it comes to arts education and to learning about modern and current events.世界每天发生很多事件,很难及时通过书来了解,电视提供了便利的条件。比如在大选期间,人们通过电视很容易了解候选人的政治主张,如果用书来,很难同样的效果
b) 但是对于学习抽象的理论和哲学,人们需要深刻的思考。而阅读书籍可以引发人们的思考,而且描述很准确。比如学习孔子的思想Confucius,很难通过一个电视节目讲出它的精髓,需要自己通过阅读与思考去领悟。
c) 书籍其他有点。便于携带,随时随地可以阅读。不详电视只能固定地点收看。而且书可以重复阅读,不同的时侯会有不同的理解。很多人有这样的经验,小时候度过的小说也许并不理解作者的思想,但是后来重看会有更深的体会。
d) 不能忽略电视的缺点,电视节目追求的收视率audience rating,利润,而不是让人们获得知识。于是庸俗的电视剧会更多的占据电视的时间,迎合人们本能而不是理智。比如电视中的暴力,色情内容,反而有害。
Although innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students, these technologies all too often distract from real learning.
As societies all over the world have more and more access to new information, the effects on life-long learning can only be positive.
We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.
We owe almost all our knowledge not to people who have agreed, but to people who have disagreed.
No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study.平衡
a) 不可否认,许多基础学科的发展主要的成果都是源自内在的创造,伦琴roentgen发现了X射线,魏格纳提出了板块学说和漂移学说。
b) 但是,一个领域的研究可以借签其它领域的成果而取得巨大的进步,当数学家mathematician John Nash把数学的思想用来解释经济现象后,当代的经济领域发生巨大的变化,很多Nobel经济学奖得主是数学家;
c) 随着现代科学和社会的发展各个不同领域之间常常互相影响,新的交叉学科应运而生,不但促进了原有领域的发展还具有很高的新起点。随着社会的发展,越来越多的交叉学科出现,各个学科的发展需要多方面的知识。如计算机学科需要多种数学啊,艺术的知识;
d) 尽管很少,仍有一些学科相对独立。例:数学有自己的理论体系,基本依靠计算、逻辑推理,哲学依赖思考
e) 总之,其它领域的成果对该领域进步的促进远大于其带来的不利影响,应该鼓励各个领域之间的相互交流。
