Everyone knows that interests can be fostered. Nevertheless, boys often say, “I am not interested in language.” They would even say,“I hate English.” And what about girls? They often show GREat interest in language, but little in mathematics or physics. Perhaps you will give me some scientific bases to prove that this is normal.
每个人都知道兴趣是可以培养的。然而,男孩们经常说,“我对语言不感兴趣”,他们甚至会说,“我讨厌英语”,女孩们呢?他们经常对语言表现出极大的兴趣,但对数学或物理却很少。也许你能给我一些科学依据来证明这是正常的。
Indeed, there are some differences between girls and boys, but these differences are not impassable①. If boys or girls try to devote more attention to what they don't like, they will find that both can achieve what they wish to achieve. The key point is that they must foster an interest. The course of trying to be absorbed on what neglected is the course of fostering interests.
确实,女孩和男孩之间有一些差异,但这些差异不是不可克服的①。如果男孩或女孩试图把更多的注意力放在他们不喜欢的事情上,他们会发现他们都能实现他们希望实现的目标。关键是他们必须培养兴趣。试图专注于被忽视的东西的过程就是培养兴趣的过程。
It you do not like serious reading, you may choose only light books that amuse you. By and by, you will be GREatly interested in it and get something out of it.
如果你不喜欢认真阅读,你可以只选择轻松有趣的书。渐渐地,你会对它非常感兴趣,并从中得到一些东西。
Here is a story of myself. I have long been fond of language, but I had little interest in mathematics. Yet, I am a UFO-lover. I've kept reading THE JOURNAL OF UFO RESEARCH. In the recent, I've read a lot about the civilizations of outer space. This made me realize that biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics are as important and useful as language. I no longer hate mathematics now.
这是一个关于我自己的故事。我一直喜欢语言,但对数学没什么兴趣。然而,我是一个飞碟爱好者。我一直在读《不明飞行物研究杂志》。最近,我读了很多关于外层空间文明的书。这使我意识到生物学、物理学、化学和数学和语言一样重要和有用。我现在不再讨厌数学了。
This shows that once your interest is fostered, you may do well in it. Interests can also enrich your life. Therefore, it is necessary to foster interests. There is no need to Worry about energy or time. If you are a person of many interests, your energy will be regulated naturally. Anyway, fostering interests won't do you harm. You will be GREatly rewarded.
这表明,一旦你的兴趣得到培养,你可能会在数学上做得很好。兴趣也能丰富你的生活。因此,有必要培养利益。不用担心精力和时间。如果你是一个有很多兴趣的人,你的精力自然会被调节。不管怎样,培养兴趣不会伤害你。你会得到很大的回报
