智慧-英語作文

　　I think the essence of wisdom is emancipation, as far as possible, from the tyranny of the here and the now. We cannot help the egoism of our senses. Sight and sound and touch are bound up with our own bodies and cannot be made impersonal. Our emotions start similarly from ourselves. An infant feels hunger or distress, and is unaffected except by his own physical condition. Gradually with the years, his horizon widens, and, in proportion as his thoughts and feelings become less personal and less concerned with his own physical states, he achieves growing wisdom. This is of course a matter of degree. No one can view the world with complete justice, and if anyone could, he would hardly be able to remain alive. But it is possible to make a continual approach towards justice, on the one hand, by knowing things somewhat remote in time or space, and, on the other hand,by giving to such things their due weight in our feelings. It is this approach towards justice that constitutes growth in wisdom.

　　Can wisdom be taught? And, if it can, should the teaching of it be one of the aims of education? I should answer both these questions in the affirmative. I do not think that knowledge and morals ought to be too much separated. Even the best technicians should also be good citizens: and when I say

　　"citizens," I mean citizens of the world and not of this or that sect or nation. With every increase of knowledge and skill,wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase strengthens our capacity of realizing our purposes, and therefore strengthens our capacity for evil, if our purposes are unwise. The world needs wisdom as it has never needed it before: and if knowledge continues to increase, the world will need wisdom in the future even more than it does now.

　　我認為智慧的本質是解放，盡可能地從這里和現在的暴政中解放出來。我們不能幫助我們的感官利己主義。視覺和聲音和觸摸被束縛在我們自己的身體和不能被人的客觀。我們的情緒同樣從我們自己開始。一個嬰兒感到饑餓或痛苦，并沒有受到影響，除了他自己的身體狀況。隨著歲月的流逝，他的視野開闊了，而且，在他的思想和感情的比例愈來愈少人關心自己的身體狀況，他獲得越來越多的智慧。這當然是一個程度的問題。沒有人能完全公正地去看世界，如果果有人能，他將很難存活。但是，一方面是可以不斷地走向正義，一方面是因為在時間或空間上知道一些遙遠的東西，另一方面，在我們的感情中給予這樣的東西他們的應有的重量。正是這種對正義的態度，構成智慧的增長。

　　智慧能教嗎？而且，如果它能，它的教學是教育的目標之一？我應該回答這些問題的肯定。我不認為知識和道德應該是太多的'分離。即使是最好的技術人員也應該是好公民：當我說

　　“公民，”我的意思是世界公民，而不是這個或那個教派或國家的公民。每增加的知識和技能，智慧就變得越來越必要，因為每一個這樣的增加都加強我們實現我們的目的的能力，并因此加強我們的邪惡能力，如果我們的目的是不明智的。世界需要智慧，因為它從未需要它：如果知識繼續增加，世界將需
