关于“人才”

Something About Talent

我们常说“培养人才”，但认真研究古今中外．发现所谓对人才的“培养”，充其量是为人才的成长提供了环境与影响；人才不是被别人培养出来的。正如教育的实质不是“教”而是“学”．人才其实是“学”出来和”用”出来的。世界上没有单纯的”教”，却有单纯的“学”；”教”一定要有对象，“学”却不一定以”教”为前提：”教”不是到处都有．”学”却可随时发生。

It is often said that ＂we should cultivate talent＂. By examining various qualified personnel across-the-board, the word ＂cultivate＂ has become questionable to me; the best it can do in fact is to provide an environment or conditions for talents to come forth. In the same way that education is not about teaching but about learning, talent is produced by learning and applying. Teaching is conditioned by various factors, such as object, subject, lectureship and so on, whereas learning is not preconditioned by teaching and can take place everywhere, at any time.
