Learning shouldn’t end when you leave school behind
★ 踏出校门不代表学习就此告终 ★
When you leave school, you can breathe a sigh of relief and leave learning behind, right? Wrong! Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong, and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.
An English idiom says, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But scientists have discovered that isn’t true. Older people can learn, and they should in order to keep their brains active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the U.S. that encourages learning.
你一踏出校门,就可以鬆一口气,把学习这档事拋到九霄云外,对不对?错啦!学习应该是一辈子的事,你会锻鍊身体以保持强健,也该锻鍊心智以保持敏锐。
英谚有云:「老狗学不会新把戏。」但科学家却发现此言差矣。年长的人「能够」学习,也应该学习,才能保持头脑灵活。如今美国好几个州都吹起一股鼓励学习的新潮流。
