restlessly ad.不安定地;煩躁地
He surveyed the worried faces before him,then asked:"how many completed all five questions?" Not a hand was raised. "How many answered four?" Still no hands. "Three?Two?" The students shifted restlessly in their seats. "One,then?Certainly somebody finished one." But the class remained silent. The professor put down the papers. "that is exactly what I expected,"he said. I just want to impress upon you that, even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice." Then,smiling,he added:"you will all pass this course,but remember-even though you are now college graduates,your education has just begun." The years have obscured the name of this professor,but not the lesson he taught.
他環(huán)視了一下面前這些憂郁的臉,問道:“有多少人完成了這5道題?” 沒有一個人舉手。 “多少人完成了4道?” 仍然沒有人舉手。 “有完成3道的嗎?2道的?” 同學(xué)們在椅子上不安地移動著。 “那么,一道呢?總有人做完一道題吧?!? 但是,教室里仍是寂靜無聲。教授放下了試卷?!斑@就是我所期望的。”他說。 “我只是想讓你們留下一個深刻印象,盡管你們學(xué)完了四年工程學(xué),仍然有很多這個專業(yè)的東西你們還不懂。你們回答不了的這些問題在日常應(yīng)用中是相當(dāng)普遍的?!苯又⑿χf:“你們都將通過這門課,但是要記住——即使你已經(jīng)大學(xué)畢業(yè),你的教育也只不過是剛剛開始。” 歲月模糊了這位教授的名字,但他教的這堂課卻一直留在記憶里。
