The object of what we commonly call education—that education in which man intervenes and which I shall distinguish as artificial education—is to make good these defects in nature’s methods; to prepare the child to receive nature’s education, neither incapably nor ignorantly, nor with wilful disobedience. In short, all artificial education ought to be an anticipation of natural education. And a liberal education is an artificial education—which has trained a man to appreciate and to seize upon the rewards which nature scatters with as free a hand as her penalties.
That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength, and in smooth working order.
Such a one and no other, I conceive, has had a liberal education; for he is, as completely as a man can be, in harmony with nature. He will make the best of her, and she of him.
II.汉译英(40分)
何为自由?有人说就好比火车,它能够自由疾驰。就是说火车所有零件经过最优组合、调整后,其间的摩擦会降至最小,进而实现完美配置,所以能够自由飞驰。又有人说就好比帆船,常言道:船行水面犹如凌波微步。也就是说,船能完美地借用风力,与上苍之息协同一致,进而扬帆远航。当逆风而行时,伴随着海的音符,船时而屹立于浪尖,时而摇曳在风中,船的每一块材料都在颤抖,船体本身也被撼动,随时都会被风所困。只有待风平浪静,她能再次与外力协同一致,这时她才算是自由了。
人类的自由体现为兴趣、活动、精神三者的完美协调。
