布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
On the morning that the school opened, thirty students reported for admission. I was the only teacher. The students were about equally divided between the sexes. Most of them lived in Macon County, the county in which Tuskegee is situated, and of which it is the county-seat. A great many more students wanted to enter the school, but it had been decided to receive only those who were above fifteen years of age, and who had previously received some education. The greater part of the thirty were public-school teachers, and some of them were nearly forty years of age. With the teachers came some of their former pupils, and when they were examined it was amusing to note that in several cases the pupil entered a higher class than did his former teacher. It was also interesting to note how many big books some of them had studied, and how many high-sounding subjects some of them claimed to have mastered. The bigger the book and the longer the name of the subject, the prouder they felt of their accomplishment. Some had studied Latin, and one or two Greek. This they thought entitled them to special distinction.

白话
开学那天，三十名学生报到，作者是唯一的老师。学生男女各半，大多来自塔斯基吉所在的梅肯县。学校决定只录取十五岁以上且有一定基础的人，但仍有更多人想入学。三十人中大部分是公立学校教师，有的年近四十。有趣的是，一些教师带来的前学生，在考试中反而进入了更高的班级。学生们还以学过多少大书、多少高深科目为荣，有的学过拉丁语甚至希腊语，并引以为傲。这反映了当时人们对教育形式的看重，也提醒我们，真正的学识不在于书本大小或科目名称，而在于实际掌握和运用。

你判断一个人学识深浅时，是看标签还是看实际能力？
