教师的十诫??(Bertrand?Russell)?
?
The?Ten?Commandments?that,?as?a?teacher,?I?should?wish?to?promulgate,?might?be?set?forth?as?follows:?
作为一个教师,我想倡仪的十诫可以表述如下:?
?
1.?Do?not?feel?absolutely?certain?of?anything.?
对任何事都不应觉得有绝对的把握。?
?
2.?Do?not?think?it?worth?while?to?proceed?by?concealing?evidence,?for?the?evidence?is?sure?to?come?to?light.?
不要以为可以隐瞒证据而继续做下去是值得的,因为证据肯定会暴露。?
?
3.?Never?try?to?discourage?thinking?for?you?are?sure?to?succeed.?
不要因为你认为肯定会成功而放弃思考。?
?
4.??When?you?meet?with?opposition,?even?if?it?should?be?from?your?husband?or?your?children,?endeavour?to?
overcome?it?by?argument?and?not?by?authority,?for?a?victory?dependent?upon?authority?is?unreal?and?illusory.?
?如果遇到反对,即使这反对来自你的丈夫或儿女,也应以努力论辩而不是以权威来战胜它,因为靠权
威取得的胜利是不真实与虚幻的。?
?
5.Have?no?respect?for?the?authority?of?others,?for?there?are?always?contrary?authorities?to?be?found.?
不需尊重他人的权威,因为总可以找到相反的权威。?
?
6.?Do?not?use?power?to?suppress?opinions?you?think?pernicious,?for?if?you?do?the?opinions?will?suppress?you.?
?不要用权力来压制你认为有害的意见,因为如果你这么做,那些意见就会压制你。?
?
7.??Do?not?fear?to?be?eccentric?in?opinion,?for?every?opinion?now?accepted?was?once?eccentric.?
?不要怕意见怪诞,因为现在已为人们所接受的每一个竟见都曾一度怪诞过。?
?
8.??Find?more?pleasure?in?intelligent?dissent?than?in?passive?agreement,?for,?if?you?value?intelligence?as?you?
should,?the?former?implies?a?deeper?agreement?than?the?latter.?
?明智的异议比被动的同意更令人高兴,因为,如果你像你所应该的那样看重才智,那么前者比后者隐
含更深刻的同意。?
?
9.??Be?scrupulously?truthful,?even?if?the?truth?is?inconvenient,?for?it?is?more?inconvenient?when?you?try?to?conceal?
it.?
?要绝对诚实,即使事实对你不利,因为如果试图隐瞒事实,那会更加不利。?
?
10.?Do?not?feel?envious?of?the?happiness?of?those?who?live?in?a?fool’s?paradise,?for?only?a?fool?will?think?that?it?is?
happiness.?
?不要羡慕那些沉醉在虚幻天堂的人之幸福,因为只有愚蠢的人才会认为那是幸福。?
