——童年是你最该学的人生课堂
来源于TED
任何学校或大学都没有教授童年这门课程,但这门课程却是我们每一个人所必要的。童年决定着我们如何对待工作、志向和成功,如何看待自己,也决定着我们是谁,会有怎样的人际关系。没有对童年的正确理解,我们赚了多少钱,多么出名或家庭多么熠熠生辉都没意义,我们要明白过去到底是什么,让我们变成今天这个样子。
Passage1
There is perhaps no _______1________(great) priority in childhood than to acquire an education. It’s in the early years that we have to push _______2______(we) with special vigor to learn the lessons and acquire the experience. This could help us _______3________(successful) maneuver around the pitfalls of adult life.By studying hard and intelligently we’ll have the best chance of ________4________(avoid) a middle-age of confusion and resignation, regret and sorrow.
The clue to a successful adult life, we’re repeatedly told lies in childhood education. It’s for this reason that we send weary children out into the world ______5_______dark winter mornings with full rucksacks in order to spend the day _________6_________(study) coordinate geometry and indefinite articles the social impact of religious and economic changes under Edward VI and the place of Aristotle’s philosophy in Dante’s Inferno. But there is one very striking detail ______7________(note) in our approach. The one subject that almost certainly has the most to teach us in ______8______(term) of its capacity to help us skirt adult dangers and guide us to fulfillment.

童年时代,重中之重,应是接受教育。在早期,我们必须竭尽全力学习课程并获得经验,这可以帮我们成功绕开成人生活中的陷阱。通过努力聪明的学习,我们将有最大概率避免中年时期的困惑,辞职,遗憾 懊悔。
成人生活的成功源于我们一再强调的儿童教育。因此我们送疲惫的孩子们出去学习,在漆黑的冷冬清早,背着沉重的书包,为了用一天的时间学习坐标几何和不定冠词,爱德华六世时期的宗教和经济变革以及亚里士多德哲学在但丁地狱中的地位。但在我们的教育方式中,要注意一个明显细节,有一门课几乎可以肯定可以最多的培养一种能力,帮助我们规避成人世界的险阻,指导我们实现目标。这门课比其他课程更加具有决定性作用,使人自由。任何学校或大学都没有教授该课程,地球上哪里都不教。
Passage2
A further irony is that this unstudied subject is one_____1______we nevertheless live through everyday of our early years. It is part of our palpable experience, ______2______(unfold) all around us, as invisible as air and as hard to touch as time. The missing subject is, of course, our childhood itself. We can sum up its _______3______(important) like this: our chances of _____4_____(lead) a fulfilled adult life depend _______5________(overwhelming) on our knowledge of and engagement with and engagement with the nature of our own childhoods. Because it is in this period ______6________the dominant share of our adult identity is being moulded and our characteristic expectations and responses set.
We ________7________(spend) some 25,000 hours in the company of our parents by the age of eighteen. A span _______8______ ends up determining how we think of relationships, how we approach work, ambition and success, what we think of ourselves, especially _______9_______we can like or must abhor who we are,what we should assume of _______10_______(stranger) and friends and how much happiness we believe we deserve and could plausibly attain.

附译文:
更具讽刺意味的是,这个未教授课程在我们早年生活的每一天都是必要的。这是一种明显的体验,展现在我们周围,如空气不可见,如时间不可触。当然,这门缺失的课正是我们的童年本身。我们可以这样总结其重要性,我们过上富有成就感的成人生活,绝对取决于我们对于童年本质的了解与参与。因为在这段时期,成人身份的主体部分正在塑造,个性期望与回应正在定型。
在18岁前,我们要花大约25000小时与父母陪伴,时间跨度决定着我们如何看待关系,如何对待工作志向和成功,如何看待自己,尤其是我们是否能喜欢或者一定要讨厌自己,对陌生人和朋友的假定以及应得到多少快乐,可以获得多少快乐。
Passage3
More tragically and without anyone necessarily having meant ill, our childhoods will have been to put it nicely, complicated. The expectations that will have formed in those years about who we are, what relationships can be like and what the world might want ______1_______(give) us will have been marked by a range of what could be termed ‘distortions’ departures from reality and ________2_______ideal of mental health and maturity. Something or indeed many things will have gone ______3________(slight) wrong or developed in questionable directions. Leaving us in areas less than we might have been and ______4______scared and cowed than it's practical.
We adored but feared for. For more _______5________(experience), we will that acquire expectations, or internal ‘scripts’ and patterns of behavior ______6______we play out unknowingly across adulthood. Certain key people didn’t take us seriously back then. Now we tend _________7________(believe), (but don’t notice ourselves believe) that no one can. We needed to try to fix an adult on _________8________we depended.
We admired a parent who didn’t care much for us. Now we repeatedly (but unconsciously) throw ________9_________(we) at distant and indifferent candidates.One of the problems of our childhoods is that they are usually surrounded by a misleading implication that they might have been sane.What goes on in the kitchen and in the car,on holidays and in the bedroom can seem beyond remark or reflection. For a long time, we have nothing to compare our life against. It’s just reality in our eyes rather than a very peculiar desperately harmful version of it _______10_________(fill) with unique slants and outright dangers.

附译文:
更悲惨的是,即使没有人恶语相加。好一点说,我们的童年会很繁琐,那几年形成的期望,关于我们是谁,会有怎样的人际关系和这世界会带给我们什么,都会被看作是“失真的”背离现实,对心理健康和成熟的臆想。一些事,其实是很多事,都会或多或少出错或向有问题的方向发展。把我们留在原地,不了解外界比实际更害怕更恐惧。
我们敬重,但是担忧要获得更多经验,我们要有所期望,或者内心的剧本和行为方式在成年后会不知不觉出现。过去有些重要的人不重视我们,现在我们开始相信,但是没人注意到,完全不受重视。
我们钦佩一位不太在意我们的父母,现在我们不知不觉重蹈覆辙的反复,把自己扔向遥远冷淡的候选席。我们童年时代的问题之一,是通常被误导性暗示包围,本可以是理智的发生在厨房,车里,节假日,卧室的事情似乎都无可厚非,长期以来,没有什么可以和生活相比较。在我们眼中只是现实,而不是绝望痛苦的画面充满了曲解和危险。
