雅思詞彙閱讀記憶

The universities are schools of education, and schools of research. But the primary reason for their existence is not to be found either in the mere knowledge conveyed to the students or in the mere opportunities for research afforded to the members of the faculty.

大學是受教育的地方,也是做研究的地方。但是,僅僅向學生傳授知識或僅僅給教師提供研究的機會都不是大學存在的主要原因。

The justification of a university is that it preserves the connection between knowledge and zestof life, by uniting the young and the old in the imaginative consideration of learning. The universityimparts information, but it imparts it imaginatively. At least, this is the function which it should perform for society. A university which fails in this respect has no reason for existence. This atmosphere of excitement, arising from imaginative consideration, transformsknowledge. A fact is no longer a bare fact: it is energizing as the poet of our dreams, and as thearchitect of our purposes.

大學之所以有理由存在,是因為通過讓年輕人和老一輩人在學習中一起發揮想象力,可以在知識和生活熱情之間保持一種聯絡。大學傳授知識,但它傳授知識的`方式富有想象力。最起碼,這是大學應該為社會起到的作用。一所大學如果做不到這一點,那它就失去了存在的理由。這種由發揮想象力帶來的緊張氣氛能改變知識。事實不再僅僅是事實:它能起到激勵作用,就像是我們的夢想的詩人、目標的設計者。

Imagination is not to be divorced from the facts: it is a way of illuminating the facts. It works byeliciting the general principles which apply to the facts, as they exist, and then by an intellectual survey of alternative possibilities which are consistent with those principles. It enables men to construct an intellectual vision of a new world, and it preserves the zest of life by the suggestion of satisfying purposes.

想象離不開現實:它是照亮現實的一種辦法。其工作原理是:總結出適用於現存客觀現實的一般規律,然後對符合這些規律的各種可能性進行知識調查。它能夠使人們對一個新的世界構成一種智力想象,並通過樹立令人滿意的生活目標保持對生活的熱情。

Youth is imaginative, and if the imagination be strengthened by discipline, this energy of imagination can in great measure be preserved through life. The tragedy of the world is that those who are imaginative have but slight experience, and those who are experienced havefeeble imaginations. Fools act on imagination without knowledge; pedants act on knowledge without imagination. The task of a university is to weld together imagination and experience.

年輕人富有想象力,如果想象力通過訓練得到提高,那這種想象力多半會保持終身。世界的悲劇是富有想象力的人經驗不足,而經驗豐富的人缺乏想象力。傻瓜沒有知識而光憑想象辦事,學究缺乏想象而只靠知識行事。大學的任務就是把想象力和經驗結合起來。
