望有朋友。至于什么是友谊，人们有各自不同的理解。有些人交朋友是为了彼此有用，一旦失去这个基础，这种友谊也就中止了。但更多的人渴望“心灵之友(soul?pals)”，即那种拥有高尚情操，能共度磨难的朋友。这样的友谊使我们远离贪欲、暴力，鼓励我们敢于按照自己的信念说话和做事。这样的友谊才是我们说的“真挚和完美的友谊”。

(2)晚饭后，我们大家围坐在壁炉（hearth）旁。苏珊姨妈还沉浸在失

去罗伯特姨父的悲伤之中。她轻声讲起了他俩从前的岁月。订婚不久，姨父就去参军了。考虑到当时的严峻形势，许多军人无法生还，你就可以想象当姨父从欧洲战场平安返回时姨妈甭提有多开心了。之后，他们结婚成家，抚育了五个孩子。这么多年来，在共同克服生活的艰辛磨难的过程当中，夫妻间的感情越来越深。我被姨妈的故事深深迷住了，这完全不同于我理想中的爱情。在日常生活中，他们并不追求激情浪漫，而是实践着“付出”和“分享”。令人感慨的是，这样的爱延续了一辈子。

Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.

(2)科技进步带来了整个世界教育理念的变化，它不仅生成了“网络

大学”这样的新的教育形式，而且也使“终生教育”具有可操作性。另外，今天的人们似乎更青睐实用性知识。但是，无论怎么变化，教育必须始终奉守自己的传统角色：启迪学生的思想。面对本世纪出现的新问题，我们依然期望教育能着重培养学生批判性的思维能力(competence)和工作上的协作能力。而且，我们希望教育承担起弘扬传统美德的重担，引导人们摒弃贪婪、淫欲和暴力等负面的欲望。

Scientific development has brought about global changes in educational thought. It not only generates such a new form of education as %universities\but turns \learning\into a workable project. In addition, people today seem to be in favor of practical knowledge. But whatever changes there might have been, education must stick to its classic role: to enlighten learners. Confronted with the new problems of this century, we still expect that education should put more emphasis on cultivating learners' competence to think critically and to work collaboratively / with team spirit. Furthermore, we hope that education will take the responsibility of promoting traditional virtues by guiding learners to dispense with negative desires like greed, lust and violence.

文化世界的阅读属于间接体验。

(2)一旦移居国外，人们会感到焦虑不安，甚至无法处理日常事务。

这归咎于他们丧失了原来所熟悉的生活环境。那么我们怎样做才能改变多年形成的生活习惯和模式呢？首先，我们对不同于自己文化背景的人要宽容些。为了克服由于文化冲击而导致的挫折感，我们必须尽快适应新的环境，与工作伙伴和睦相处。此外，我们切忌把一个人等同于他所代表的民族，切忌因为讨厌这个人进而讨厌他的文化。其实提倡保护（preserve）本土文化并不是要抵制异国文化。

Once transplanted abroad, people will feel anxious and even lose the capacity to deal with daily routines. This problem is attributed to the disappearance of the surroundings we have been used to. Then, what should we do so as to change the life styles and patterns built up in us over so many years? First, we should be more tolerant towards people with cultural

backgrounds different from ours. To get over frustrations caused by culture shock, we should try to adapt ourselves to the new environment and get along with our workmates harmoniously. Furthermore, we should never identify a person with the nationality he represents or proceed to hate the person’s culture only because we don’t like him. In fact, to preserve our national culture is not to resist foreign ones.
