  • But something strikes you when you move to America and travel around the world:
  • 但搬到美国后,有些事使我印象深刻:
  • Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. Every one.
  • 如果你周游世界,你会发现每个国家的教育体系都存在相同的学科等级制度。没有例外。
  • Doesn't matter where you go. You'd think it would be otherwise, but it isn't.
  • 不论哪个国家。你认为也许会有例外,但没有。
  • At the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and at the bottom are the arts.
  • 排在最前面的学科是数学和语言,接下去是人文学科,艺术排在最后。
  • Everywhere on Earth. And in pretty much every system too, there's a hierarchy within the arts.
  • 世界上所有国家都是如此。而且相同的还有,就是在艺术学科范围内也有等级制。
  • Art and music are normally given a higher status in schools than drama and dance.
  • 通常学校把美术课和音乐课看的较重要,然后是戏剧课和舞蹈课。
  • There isn't an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics.
  • 没有哪个国家的教育体系天天安排舞蹈课,但却每天都安排数学课。
  • Why? Why not? I think this is rather important. I think math is very important, but so is dance.
  • 为什么?为什么不是每天安排舞蹈课呢?我认为舞蹈课很重要。我认为舞蹈课和数学课同样重要。
  • Children dance all the time if they're allowed to, we all do.
  • 如果有允许,孩子们会不停地跳舞,我们也一样。
  • We all have bodies, don't we? Did I miss a meeting?
  • 我们都有身体,对吗?我错过了一场会议吗?
  • Truthfully, what happens is, as children grow up, we start to educate them progressively from the waist up.
  • 事实上,随着孩子年龄增长,我们开始教导他们别的东西。
  • And then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side.
  • 而随着他们长大,我们更关注的是他们的头脑。而且略微偏重大脑的一侧。
  • If you were to visit education, as an alien, and say "What's it for, public education?"
  • 如果你以一个外国人的身份来参观我们的教育体系,带着这样的问题:“公办教育的目的是什么?”
  • I think you'd have to conclude, if you look at the output, who really succeeds by this,
  • 那么当你看到我们的教育体系产业化的发展,我相信,你就会明白是谁在真正从中受益,
  • who does everything that they should, who gets all the brownie points, who are the winners
  • 是谁被教导着该做什么不该做什么,是谁得了满分,谁是第一名。
  • I think you'd have to conclude the whole purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professors.
  • 关于公办教育的目的,我想你会得出这样的结论,世界上所有的公办教育都以培养大学教授为目的。
  • Isn't it? They're the people who come out the top. And I used to be one, so there.
  • 难道不是吗?因为大学教授是象牙塔尖上的人。我也曾是一名大学教授,也是塔尖上的人。
