奥里森·斯威特·马登:向前进·摘录 377
奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Thousands of youths receive an education that fits them for a profession which they have not the means or inclination to follow, and that unfits them for the conditions of life to which they were born. Unsuccessful students with a smattering of everything are raised as much above their original condition as if they were successful. A large portion of Paris cabmen are unsuccessful students in theology and other professions and also unfrocked priests. They are very bad cabmen.

白话
许多年轻人接受的教育,让他们适合某个职业,但他们既没有条件也没有意愿去从事;同时,这种教育又让他们无法适应自己出身的生存环境。那些什么都懂一点、却并不成功的读书人,被抬得比原来的阶层高,好像他们成功了一样。巴黎很大一部分出租车司机,是神学等专业没学成的学生,还有被免职的牧师。他们开出租车开得很糟糕。核心意思是:教育若脱离实际条件和意愿,反而会让人高不成低不就,既做不了想做的,也做不好该做的。
