当下正值毕业 季，听力课堂谨以此文献给已经毕业和即将

毕业的莘莘学子以共勉并祝愿各位在以后的人 生之路上一路走好。

诸位同学们，

Dear students of the Graduating Class,

你们现在要离开母校 了，我没有什么礼物送给你们，只好

送你们一句话罢。

As you are leaving your alma mater, I have nothing

to offer you as a gift except a word of advice.

这一句话是：

“不要抛弃学问。

”

My

advice

is,

“

Never

give

up

the

pursuit

of

learning.

”

以前的功课也许有一大部分是为这张文凭，

< br>不得已而做的，

从今而后，

你们可以依自己的心愿去自由 研究了。

趁现在年富力强的

时候，努力做一种学问。

You

have

perhaps

finished

your

college

courses

mostly

for obtaining the diploma, or, in other words, out of sheer

necessity. However, from now you are free to follow your own

bent in the choice of studies.

少年是一去不复返的，等到精力衰 时，努力

做学问也来不及了。

即为吃饭计，

学问决不会辜负人的。

吃饭而不求

学问，

< br>三年五年后，

你们都将将是要被后来少年淘汰掉的。

到那 时再

想做点学问来补救，恐怕已太晚了。

While you are in the prime of life, why not devote

yourselves

to

a

special

field

of

study?

Youth

will

soon

be

gone

never to return. And it will be too late for you to go into

scholarship when in your declining years. Knowledge will do

you a good turn even as a means of subsistence. If you give

up studies while holding a job, you will in a couple of years

have had yourselves replaced by younger people. It will then

be

too

late

to

remedy

the

situation

by

picking

up

studies

again.

有人说：

“出去做事之后，

生活问题急需 解决，

哪有工夫去

读书

?

即使要做学问，既没有图书馆，又没有实验室，哪能做学问

?

”

Some

people

say,

“

Once

you

have

a

job,

you

come

up against the urgent problem of making a living. How can you
