Benjamin loved to carry the key around, shaking it vigorously. He also liked to try to place it into the slot. Because of his tender age and incomplete understanding of the need to position the key just so, he would usually fail. Benjamin was not bothered in the least. He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot. Now both Ellen and I were perfectly happy to allow Benjamin to bang the key near the key slot. His exploratory behavior seemed harmless enough. But I soon observed an interesting phenomenon. Any Chinese staff member nearby would come over to watch Benjamin and, noting his lack of initial success, attempt to assist. He or she would hold onto Benjamin's hand and, gently but firmly, guide it directly toward the slot, reposition it as necessary, and help him to insert it. The "teacher" would then smile somewhat expectantly at Ellen or me, as if awaiting a thank you — and on occasion would frown slightly, as if considering us to be neglecting our parental duties. I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned tasks in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood education (especially in the arts), and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity. And so before long I began to introduce the key-slot anecdote into my discussions with Chinesoward Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West. LEARNING, CHINESE-STYLE Howard Gardner For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing. The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it.

正如我们很多人在学于校里所学的那样，科学方法是一个渐进的过程，这个过程始 某个目的或某个有待解决或回答的问题。这包括一组材料，一套必须遵循的操作步 骤，一系列有待进行的观察，最后是有待得出的结论。医学上，有人提出—种新药 可能医治或控制某种疾病时，先是在随意挑选的大量人群中进行试验，然后将这部 人群的用药反应与另一组随意挑选的未用此药的人群的情况进行比较。两组人群的 种种反应被一一记录，仔细比较，从而对新药的疗效作出鉴定。所有这些过程需要 时间——以及耐心。
New Drugs Kill Cancer
新药灭癌
When these headlines appeared this year, their sto ries became the subjects of conversations around t he world talks spiced with optimism and confusion . Imagine the hopes raised in the millions battling cancer. Did the news mean these people never had to worry about cancer again? Or that we all had to worry about a catastrophe from outer space or, more immediately, from El Nino?
不幸的是，科学并非这般运作。科学极少提供最终的答案。 与癌症搏斗的人们或厄尔.尼诺现象的受害者也许会觉得这太 令人沮丧，但事实是，大自然并不轻易袒露其奥秘。科学研 究是一步一步进行的，首先要有一个构想，然后用实验检验 这个构想，人们希望其结果能成为知识的一种积累。
Science is not a set of unquestionable res ults but a way of under standing the worl d around us. Its real work is slow.
the truth is
Unfortunately, science doesn't work that way. It rarely arrives at final answers. People battling cancer or victims of El Nino may find this frustrating, but the tr uth is that Nature does not yield her secrets easily. Science is do ne step by step. First an idea is formed. Then this is tested by an experiment. The outcome, one hopes, results in an increase In knowledge.
这些标题于今年见诸报端时，这新闻便成为全世界的话题—— 既掺有乐观又带来混乱的话题。 想象—下这些新闻为成千上万与癌症抗争的人们所带来的希望。 这些新闻是否意味着这些人再也不用为癌症担忧呢 ? 还是说我 们所有的人都得为来自外层空间的大祸，或者更近一点，为厄 尔·尼诺现象造成的灾难而忧心忡忡呢 ?
But
Байду номын сангаас
It's the result of course, that makes the best n ews ─not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry.
成为新闻热点的当然是结果，而非长年默默无闻的 努力，而长年默默无闻的努力正是绝大多数科学探 索的特点。
After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist 's colleagues, who review the work. If the work is important enough, just before the report is published in a professional journal or read at a conference, a press release is issued and an announcement is made to the world.
科学并非一组无可置疑的结果，而是认识我们周围世 界的一种方法。其实际进程是缓慢的。
The scientific method, as many of us learned in school, is a gra dual process that begins with a purpose or a problem or questi on to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusion s to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that mig ht cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with t hose of another random group not given the drug. All reaction s in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time—and patience.

不幸的是，科学并非这般运作。科学极少提供最终的答案。 与癌症搏斗的人们或厄尔.尼诺现象的受害者也许会觉得这太 令人沮丧，但事实是，大自然并不轻易袒露其奥秘。科学研 究是一步一步进行的，首先要有一个构想，然后用实验检验 这个构想，人们希望其结果能成为知识的一种积累。
Science is not a set of unquestionable res ults but a way of under standing the worl d around us. Its real work is slow.
the truth is
Unfortunately, science doesn't work that way. It rarely arrives at final answers. People battling cancer or victims of El Nino may find this frustrating, but the tr uth is that Nature does not yield her secrets easily. Science is do ne step by step. First an idea is formed. Then this is tested by an experiment. The outcome, one hopes, results in an increase In knowledge.
这些标题于今年见诸报端时，这新闻便成为全世界的话题—— 既掺有乐观又带来混乱的话题。 想象—下这些新闻为成千上万与癌症抗争的人们所带来的希望。 这些新闻是否意味着这些人再也不用为癌症担忧呢 ? 还是说我 们所有的人都得为来自外层空间的大祸，或者更近一点，为厄 尔·尼诺现象造成的灾难而忧心忡忡呢 ?

It's the result of course, that makes the best n ews ─not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry.
成为新闻热点的当然是结果，而非长年默默无闻的 努力，而长年默默无闻的努力正是绝大多数科学探 索的特点。
After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist 's colleagues, who review the work. If the work is important enough, just before the report is published in a professional journal or read at a conference, a press release is issued and an announcement is made to the world.
科学并非一组无可置疑的结果，而是认识我们周围世 界的一种方法。其实际进程是缓慢的。
The scientific method, as many of us learned in school, is a gra dual process that begins with a purpose or a problem or questi on to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusion s to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that mig ht cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with t hose of another random group not given the drug. All reaction s in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time—and patience.
