One
way
of
summarizing
the
American
position
is
to
state
that
we
value
originality
and
independence
more
than
the
Chinese
do.
The
contrast
between
our
two
cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers
are
fearful
that
if
skills
are
not
acquired
early,
they
may
never
be
acquired;
there
is,
on
the
other
hand,
no
comparable
hurry
to
promote
creativity.
American
educators
fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the

other hand, skills can be picked up later.
美国人的 立场可以概括起来这么说，
我们比中国人更重视创新和自立。
我们两种文化的
差异也可 以从我们各自所怀的忧虑中显示出来。
中国老师担心，
如果年轻人不及早掌握技艺，
就 有可能一辈子掌握不了；
另一方面，
他们并不同样地急于促进创造力的发展。
美国教育 工
作者则担心，除非从一开始就发展创造力，不然创造力就有可能永不再现；
而另一方面，技< br>艺可于日后获得。
However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to
be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and
present.
And
there
is
a
danger
of
exaggerating
creative
breakthroughs
in
the
West.
When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is
all too apparent (the
但我并不想夸大其辞。
无 论在过去还是在当今，
中国在科学、
技术和艺术革新方面都展
示了巨大的创造力。而西方的创新突破则有被夸大的危险。
如果仔细审视任何一项创新，
其
对以往成就 的依赖则都显而易见（
“站在巨人肩膀之上”的现象）
。
But
assuming
that
the
contrast
I
have
developed
is
valid,
and
that
the
fostering
of
skills
and
creativity
are
both
worthwhile
goals,
the
important
question
becomes
this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to
approach
education,
perhaps
striking
a
better
balance
between
the
poles
of
creativity and basic skills
然而，
假定我这里所说的反差是成立的，
而培养技艺与创造力两者都是值得 追求的目标，
那么重要的问题就在于：
我们能否从中美两个极端中寻求一种更好的教育方式，< br>它或许能在
创造力与基本技能这两极之间获得某种较好的平衡

对物质财富的追求
Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so
many other people have. My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles. But
it is still dependable.
My apartment is modest,
but quiet and relaxing.
My clothes
are well suited to my work, which is
primarily outdoors. My
minimal computer needs
can be met at the library.
然而，
想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西，
对我来说，
只不过是转瞬即 逝的念头
而已。我的汽车是
1999
年的产品，到现在开了十万五千英里，已经很破很 旧了，但是它依
然可靠。我的住房不大，但是很安静，住着挺舒心。我的衣服很适合于我的工作，主要都 在
户外。我对计算机的很少的需求，可以在图书馆得到解决。

I wouldn't want to trade my dad for anyone else's. He loves us kids and Mom too.

thinks are good.
这类事要是偶尔发生一两次，
那倒也没什么。
总的来说，
我是不肯 把自己老爸跟别人的

我们，他自以为在为我们做好事呢。

从未想过自己会那么依赖同事做伴。
我开 始理解为什么长时间的失业会那么伤人，
为什么一
个人的生活缺少了外部支持的日常计划就会导 致吸毒、犯罪、自杀率的增长。
To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call
people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven't fled New York
City.
I
try
to
at
least
get
to

from

stories,

appointments

anything
to
get me out of the house and connected with others.
为了恢复生活的平衡，
我强迫自己回到真实世界中去。
我给别人打电话，
与所剩无几的
仍然住在纽约城的几个 朋友安排见面。
我至少设法去去健身房，
以便使周末与工作日有所不
同。我安排采访好 写报道，预约看医生——安排任何需要我出门与他人接触的活动。
But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see a friend and her ringing
laughter
is
intolerable
--
the
noise
of
conversation
in
the
restaurant,
unbearable.
I
make
my
excuses
and
flee.
I
re- enter
my
apartment
and
run
to
the
computer
as
though
it were a place of safety.
但有时面对面地与人相处实在难以忍受。
我与一位朋友见面，
她那种响亮的笑声让人忍
无可忍——饭店里的噪杂谈话声也让人受不了。< br>我找了个藉口逃之夭夭。
我重新回到我的公
寓，冲向电脑，似乎那儿才是一个安全的地方 。
I
click
on
the
modem,
the
once-annoying
sound
of
the
connection
now
as
pleasant
as my favorite tune. I enter my password. The real world disappears.
我点击鼠标，
打开调制解调器，
曾经听了就烦的连接声此刻听起来就如同最心爱的曲子
那么悦耳。我键入密码。真实世界转瞬便消逝了。
