二、课文不厌百遍读，书中自有“黄金屋”

课文1　Learning for life (终身学习)

　　 how much there is still left to learn.As I journey through my a means by which you can better understand the world, but also a way of appreciating how much, as an individual, you do not know. The ability to admit this should not be perceived as a weakness, but as a strength.I once had an art teacher, pointing out that .When I drew a still life, it was impressed upon me that the blank spaces between the objects were just as .Also, as the great educator Confucius stated, “When you know a thing, to recognize that you know it；and when you do not know a thing, to recognize that you do not know it — that is wisdom.”

[课文对译]

我学得越多，就越明白要学的东西还很多。当我走在人生的旅途中时，我开始领悟到，求知不光是让你能更好地了解世界的一种手段，也是洞悉自己作为个体还有多少未知的一种方式。能承认自己尚且无知不应被认为是一种缺点，而应是一种优势。我曾经有过一位美术老师，他(她)向我指出，重要的不仅仅是你能看到的东西，你看不到的东西也很重要。当我在画静物时，我意识到成功的构图中，物体间的留白和实际的物体本身一样关键。并且，正如伟大的教育家孔子所言：“知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。”

It is vital to remain lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world.As you progress through life, you may study and work in new environments.Consequently, you will be exposed to many new ideas, beliefs, practices and learning experiences.Furthermore, the production of knowledge is bound to grow rapidly.New knowledge is constantly being generated and what you already know is being revised all the time, to the extent that it can be difficult to keep pace with the latest developments.Indeed, you may one day do jobs that do not yet exist, use technologies that are not yet developed and resolve problems that are not yet problems！This is not to suggest that there is no need for you to study in your knowledge through lifelong learning is both essential and  beneficial.

在一个瞬息万变的世界里，保持终身学习是极为重要的。当你在人生旅途中前行时，你可能会置身新环境中学习和工作。因此，你会接触到许多新观点、新信仰、新实践和新的学习经历。此外，知识的产生必然是迅速增长的。新的知识不断涌现着，你已有的认知一直在被修正，以至于难以跟上最新的发展。实际上，有朝一日你也许会从事目前还不存在的职业，使用目前尚未开发的技术，解决当下还不是问题的问题！这并不是说学校教育对你来说没有必要，而是承认通过终身学习来更新你的知识是必不可少且十分有益的。

So, how can you proceed? Firstly, lifelong learning is an attitude.Lifelong learners are those who have an open mind. Do not criticize them or reject them simply because they differ from what you know or believe.At the same time, you need to develop critical thinking skills so that you do not blindly accept new ideas.Instead, you should inquire further to assess the truth of what you are being told.Secondly,

take advantage of opportunities for lifelong learning — for example, you could register online and subscribe to e－learning courses, which have become increasingly popular in recent years.You could also visit the local library, where resources are rich and diverse.Finally, understand that it is not sufficient to simply know ，because for knowledge to have concrete value， it must be applied. Importantly, after its application, there must then follow a review process of analysis, evaluation and improvement so that your comprehension of the world becomes a continuous process.

[课文对译]

那么，该如何做到呢？首先，终身学习是一种态度。终身学习者是那些有着开放心态的人。客观看待事物，让自己接纳新知识和新理念。不要仅仅因为它们与自己的认知或信念不同，就加以批评或拒斥。同时，你需要培养批判性思考能力，以免对新观点一味盲从。相反，当你听到新的说法时，应当进一步探究真相。其次，利用终身学习的机会——例如，你可以在线注册并订阅网络课程，近年来这类课程越来越受欢迎了。你也可以去本地的图书馆，那里有丰富多样的资源。最后，要明白仅仅是知道某事或理解你所知道的知识是不够的，因为要让知识发挥实际价值，必须对其加以应用。重要的是，将知识付诸实践后，必须随之跟进一个分析、评估和改进的回顾环节，这样你对世界的理解就是一个连续的过程了。

句⑥　and连接两个并列祈使句，第二个祈使句中含有“make ＋sb.＋adj.”结构。

句⑦　主句为祈使句，understand后跟that引导的宾语从句及because引导的原因状语从句；宾语从句中it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面or连接的两个不定式，第二个不定式后跟what引导的宾语从句。

In summary, in a world of constant change, one should never cease to learn.Lifelong learning will help you develop your skills and further your career, and will boost your sense of self－worth and keep your mind active.Therefore, know what you know and use it; know what you do not know and embrace it; know that you will never know all there is to know and wonder at it.

[课文对译]

总之，在一个日新月异的世界里，一个人绝不能停止学习。终身学习会助你提升个人能力，推动职业发展，也会助你增强自我价值感并保持思维活跃。因此，要知道自己知道什么并运用所知；要知道自己不知道什么并接纳未知；要知道人生有涯而知无涯，对未知保有一颗敬畏之心。
