Teachers,Dead or Alive
Speaking teacher——Alive teacher
He is a human being with whom we have some personal contact.
Writing teacher——Dead teacher
The book is a dead thing. It does not grow or change its mind.
本章主要讲述了两种教学方式:
人为教学和文本教学。
我认为,如果细细分梳,人的正常阅读,无非两种:一是立于真实人生、真实生活的“人为教学”。每每阅读,总是不自觉把自己摆放进去,设身处地,有点点滴滴真感受。并且,读生活,读人生,读社会,读历史,都有点点滴滴的感受体会。二是立于“人为教学”之上的“文本教学”。特点是,冷静探求,寻根求源,于文本中找寻根据,回答内涵是什么和怎样表达的。此时,是抽离自我,学术探寻。所以,人的阅读,大概应该就是这两种状态,前者是生活化的,后者是学术性的。这两种阅读的共同特征,就是,非功利!即非功利、远功利的阅读,才是正常的,松弛的,自然而然的。这样的阅读,也才能抵达“真”。因此,欲求阅读之真、教育之真,我们的阅读方式,必须立于“人为教学”和“文本教学”之上。
In writing this book I am a secondary teacher. My aim is to help and mediate.
secondary:次要的,辅助的
mediate:调解,起中介作用
This book has only two functions to perform: to interest you in the profit of reading and to assist you in cultivating the art.
But you must admit in turn that the better the book, the more it is worth reading. Furthermore, if you learn how to read the great books, you will have no difficulty in reading other books, or for that matter anything else. You can use your skill to go after easier game. May I remind you, however, that the sportsman doesn't hunt lame ducks?
作者最后也点出了写此书的目的和作用。一本好书往往会带一个人意想不到的效果,多读些好书总没有错,书越好,就越值得读。最终你会发现,你的人生就像开了挂一样哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈…(但是最后一句没有研究出该怎么表达它的意思?中华文化博大精深源远流长连绵不尽滔滔不绝…有小伙伴研究出来分享一下)
