今天看了几年前陈丹青离开清华的那期新闻调查,好过看过的很多电影。中间穿插了Pink Floyd迷墙中的曲子和画面,如果没记错的话,应该是Another Brick In The Wall II。
相比于二十多年前的高考,现在的教育如同割草机一般,磨平学生本应就有的才华。的确如同The Wall中的画面一样,我们只是教育出来的一个个产品,仅仅是机器而已。里面一个教授说:一个国家如果没有原创,那这个国家就真的平庸了。之前我思索很久的东西也在前一阵子得到答案,究竟是保持自己的锋利还是妥协下来,混日子。
里面一个女生考了两年美术研究生,因为英语差了一点点而不得不放弃,最终去了英国,而恰恰在英语的国家,却并不看重英语对于专业的影响。而里面一个教授说的话也很有意思,他说:选择题有四个答案,三个是错的,学生在考试时候看到75%都是错误的东西,怎么能够学好。
几年前,高中时候,很多人问,到底学英语有什么用,毕竟绝大部分人并不出国留学和英语打交道,老师只有一个答案,学好英语才能上好大学。虽然那时候英语很好,但是遇到作文却十分头疼,总是怕用错时态或者句式,绞尽脑汁想到的也只有那几十个经常用的单词短语。Tom is doing this , Tom did that, Tom have done the things, 学了几年之后才知道上厕所怎么说,不过小便是看电影才知道怎么说的,What the f*ck is that? 如果当时有人问我这样一句话:What's up,man?我指定会抬头望天,然后告诉他:God is taking his pee.经常去的碟店,店员都是这么给外国人介绍电影的this, Jackie Chan, action, very good。喏,根本没有语法人家照样能够听懂。
相比起以前某些数学零分,外语零分照样可以进大学的高人来说,现在是难以容纳天才的时代,不对,还是有应试天才的一席之地。
All Along The Watchtower
There must be some kind of way out
of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hours getting late
Hey
Hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin
And the wind began to howl
Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
All along the watchtower
