研究生应不应该学英语

语言的本质是信息载体，其外在作用表现为通过语言表达来进行信息交换。研究生的根本任务是发现并总结和表达自身领域相关的信息，即信息创新工作。科学研究表明，信息创新工作的成效和信息工作者所掌握的信息量正相关。研究生所从事的工作需要研究生具有更强大的语言能力，以获得更大的信息量以辅助其研究任务。从这个意义上说，研究生应当尽可能的掌握多种语言，以获取作全面的信息量。

然而事实上不能如此。每个人的精力有限，信息量只是信息创新工作的一个基本的条件，完成信息创新仍旧需要研究者花费更多时间来整理这些信息，以从中发现线索。对信息创新工作来说，发现信息线索的能力要比获取已有信息的能力重要的多。每种语言所包含的信息量非常多，有时候掌握一种语言已经能让信息工作者很好的完成信息创新工作。例如欧美国家的研究生教育就没有硬性规定学生必须掌握多种语言，但他们的研究成果同样显著。

由此，我认为研究生教育对于英语的学习可以依据研究生的研究重点而有所不同。对于人文社会科学类研究生，他们的侧重点在于本土文化，则可以选修英语课作为研究辅助。而对于理工科类研究生，由于本国的技术能力和国际存在差异，其研究创新必然要向国际看齐，所以英语的学习应作为他们学习的必修科目。

The essence of language is the information carrier, whose external role is exchanging information through the language performance. The basic task of the graduate students is found and sums up and expresses information in the fields of themselves, namely, is information innovation work. A scientific research shows that, the effect of information innovation work is positively correlated with the quantity of information mastered by information workers. At work, Graduate students are engaged in more powerful language ability, to get more information to help the research task. In this sense, the graduate students shall master as more as possible kinds of languages, in order to get comprehensive information.

However, the fact cannot be so. Everyone's energy is limited. The quantity of information is only one basic conditions of information innovation work. Researchers need spend more time to sort out this information to complete information innovation and to find the clues. For information innovation work, the ability to finding information clues is more important than the ability to getting information. Each language contains much information, sometimes information workers can already do information innovation work well by mastering one language. Such as the occident countries are no hard-and-fast rules that graduate students must master a variety of languages, meanwhile the results of their study is the same significant.

Thus, I think graduate student education for English learning should be vary according to the focus of the research of graduate students. For humanities and social sciences class graduate students, the research emphasis are local culture, so they can take English study as a research assistant. And for science and engineering class graduate student, because of their counties technical capacity exist difference to international, its research innovation must look to international, so English learning should be a compulsory subject for them.
