翻译练习2

So, how are we to improve the production of knowledgeable（有知识的）people and the creation of new knowledge in Guangdong? Since my experience is in universities, I shall speak mainly about them. However, let me first refer（参考）briefly to schools. It is evident that the government must advance（发展）the well-being（福利）of the whole province by developing education in the poorer and less provided areas in the East, North and West of the province. // Intelligence（才智）and talent（才能）have little to do with social circumstance（环境）, but lack of opportunity in education deprives（剥夺）not only individuals but the whole province of their contribution to prosperity（繁荣）.// In the second place, I believe that there is a need（需求）throughout（遍及）the secondary schools（中学）in the province to review carefully how best to teach students. I mean by this that it is essential to look beyond the instruction（教导）of students in the classroom (making them learn a lot of connected（连贯的), ordered（有序的）information) towards getting them increasingly（越来越多地）to learn for themselves individually （独自地）and collectively（共同地）through shared tasks（任务）and the development of curiosity（好奇心）and questioning（询问）.// It is here that the foundations of creativity（创造力）and self-starting learning （自我学习）are founded. There is much literature（文献）on this and I do not have time here to summarize（概述）it. //

Let me turn to universities. Universities have three functions（功能）.

The first is to create new knowledge through research; the second is to transmit knowledge to new generations by teaching; the third is to transfer innovation（新事物）into the economy both by producing graduates with modern skills and by helping to move invention into commercial production. //All universities ought to do all three, but there is bound to be a great range of difference between how much individual universities do in each of these functions. There is no reason at all why all should excel（优于别人）at all three. // On the contrary, it is important for government to help to produce and sustain（支持）excellence（长处）but it should not expect to produce excellence everywhere in all subjects. This is particularly true in the research function of universities, but it also has relevance for（有关联）the transfer of innovation. //

所以，我们怎样提高广东有知识人的数量和新知识的创造？既然我的主要经验都是来自于大学，我主要讲一下大学方面。然而，让我先简单的提及一下学校。证据显示政府必须通过改善穷困地区的教育和全省东部、北部、西部提供教育少的地区以达到发展全省的福利。才智和才能与社会环境没有多大关系，但是教育机会的缺失剥夺的不止是个人的还有他们对全省繁荣的贡献。第二点，我相信遍及全省的中学都有仔细复审怎样才能最好的教育学生的需要。通过这个我想表达的是有必要超越在教室里教导学生（让他们学习很多连贯的、有序的知识）而转向越来越多地让他们独自地学习和通过分享任务和好奇

心与询问的发展共同地学习。在这里是建立在创造力和自我学习的基础上的。有太多关于这方面的文献，而且在这里我没有时间来概述它了。

让我转到大学方面，大学有三个功能：第一是通过研究创造新的知识：第二是通过教学把知识传递给下一代：第三是通过同时利用现代技术教育毕业生和帮助把发明创造引入商业产品将新事物传递到经济中。所有的大学都应当具备这三点，但是私立大学在每点的功能上必然都有很大程度的不同。在每一点上都优于其他人是毫无疑问的。相反的，政府应该帮助创造和支持优点但是不能期望在每点的任何地方都是优秀的，这是重要的。在调查大学的功能中这是不争的事实，而且它还与新事物的传递有关联。
