科学是分门别类的知识；智慧是井井有条的生活—伊曼纽尔.康德
复合句
Most people would agree that, although our age far surpass all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no correlative increa in wisdom. But agreement ceas as soon as we attempt to define `wisdom' and consider means of promoting it. I want to ask first what wisdom is, and then what can be done to teach it.
我们时代的知识远远超越以前的时代，但是智慧却没有相应的增加，大多数人都同意这样的看法，但是一旦我们试图定义智慧并且思考增进它的方法，人们就会有不同的意见。我想问首先智慧是什么，其次是传授智慧的方法。

There are, I think, veral factors that contribute to wisdom. Of the I should put first a n of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it ud to be owing to the extent and complexity fo the specialized knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppo, for example, that you are engaged in rearch in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your intellectual energy. You have not time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say), as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the most populous parts of the world. To take an even more spectacular example, which is in everybody's mind at the prent time: You study the composition of the atom from a disinterested desire for knowledge, and incidentally place in the hands of powerful lunatics the means of destroying the human race. In such ways the pursuit of knowledge may become harmful
unless it is combined with wisdom; and wisdom in the n of comprehensive vision is not necessarily prent in specialists in the pursuit of knowledge.excel标准差公式函数
我想,构成智慧有几个要素，其中须要置于首位的是轻重缓急之分：将一个问题的所有重要因素考虑进去并且掂量每一个因素应有的分量的能力。鉴于各类技术员所需的专门知识的范围和复杂程度，这种能力变得比过去更难具备。比如，假设你从事医学研究，这份工作本身很难做，可能会耗费你的全部智慧。你没有时间去考虑你的发明或发现可能带来医学领域以外的影响。你成功了（我们假设），正如现代医学所做到的：婴儿死亡率不仅在欧洲和美洲，而且在亚洲和非洲也大大的降低了。但是完全非你所愿的结果产生了：在世界上人口最为稠密的地区，食物供应匮乏，生活水平下降。再举一个甚至更为引人注目的例子，当前人们都在关注此事：你渴望探求知识，不带功利的去研究原子的结构，却意外地将摧毁人类的手段置于狂人的手中。因此，如果知识不能与智慧同在，对知识的追求就可能变得有危害性；就全方位来看，追求知识的专家并一定具备智慧。
Comprehensiveness alone, however, is not enough to constitute wisdom. There must be, also, a certain awareness of the ends of human life. This may be illustrated by the study
of history. Many eminent historians have done more harm than good becau they viewed facts through the distorting medium of their own passions. Hegel had a philosophy of history which did not suffer from any lack of comprehensiveness, since it started from the earliest times and continued into an indefinite future. But the chief lesson of history which he sought to unculcate was that from the year 400AD down to his own time Germany had been the most important nation and the standard-bearer of progress in the world. Perhaps one could stretch the comprehensiveness that contitutes wisdom to include not only intellect but also feeling. It is by no means uncommon to find men who knowledge is wide but who feelings are narrow. Such men lack what I call wisdom.

然而，仅有综合能力还不足以构成智慧。还必须思考人类生活的目标。这一点在历史研究中得到说明。许多杰出的历史学家干的坏事多于好事，因为他们是通过自己的热情这种扭曲的媒介观察事实的。黑格尔的历史哲学始于亘古，止于无限的未来，也不是不缺乏综合能力，但是他努力想要说明的历史教义主要是从公元400年到自己的年代，德国一直都是最为重要的民族以及世界进步的标准榜样。或许构成智慧的综合概念可以延伸，它不仅涵盖智力而且还包括感情。知识面宽但感觉迟钝的人不是不常见。这样的人缺乏我认为的智

It is not only in public ways, but in private life equally, that wisdom is needed. It is needed in the choice of ends to be pursued and in emancipation from personal prejudice. Even an end which it would be noble to pursue if it were attainable may be pursued unwily if it is inherently impossible of achievement. Many men in past ages devoted their lives to a arch for the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life. No doubt, if they could have found them, they would have conferred great benefits upon mankind, but as it was their lives were wasted. To descend to less heroic matters, consider the ca of two men, Mr A and Mr B, who hate each other and, through mutual hatred, bring each other to destruction. Suppo you dgo the Mr A and say, 'Why do you hate Mr B?' He will no doubt give you an appalling list of Mr B's vices, partly true, partly fal. And now suppo you go to Mr B. He will give you an exactly similar list of Mr A's vices with an equal admixture of truth and falhood. Suppo you now come back to Mr A and say, 'You will be surprid too learn that Mr B says the same things about you as you say about him', and you go to Mr B and make a similar speech. The first effect, no doubt, will be to increa their mutual hatred, s
ince each will be so horrified by the other's injustice. But perhaps, if you have sufficient patience and sufficient persuasiveness, you may succeed in convincing each that the other has only the normal share of human wickedness, and that their enmity is harmful to both. If you can do this, you will have instilled some fragment of wisdom.
智慧不仅为公共生活所需，而且同样为个人生活所需。选择追求目标，以及从个人偏见中解放出来，都需要智慧。如果一个目标本身不可能被达到，即便如果它可以被达到，追求它的行为一定是高贵的，对这个目标的追求也可能不是明智的。在过去，许多人毕其一生搜寻哲学家的点金石和长生不老药。毫无疑问，如果她们找到了这些东西，他们就为人类谋取了巨大福祉，但事实上，他们浪费了生命。退而说不那么伟大的事情，想想两个人，A先生和B先生，他们相互憎恨，并通过相互憎恨而相互摧毁。假设你到A先生那里说：“你为什么不喜欢B先生”他一定会向你数落一大堆B先生的邪恶，部分真实，部分虚假。现在，假设你到B先生那里，他会向你数落一大堆A先生的邪恶，内容完全一样，真实和虚假的混合程度也完全一样，假设你现在回到A先生那里说：“你会很吃惊，要知道，B先生说你的话跟你说B先生的活是一样的”，然后你到B先生那里发表同样言论。毫无疑问，直接的结果就是他们的相互仇恨程度增加，因为他们每人都为对方的偏颇感到震惊，但或许，
如果你有足够的耐心和足够的说服力，你可能成功说服他们：对方只不过是有人类邪恶的通病，他们的敌意对对方都有伤害。如果你能这样做，你就向他们灌输了点滴的智慧。
I think the esnce of wisdom is emancipation, as fat as possible, from the tyranny of the here and now. We cannot help the egoism of our ns. Sight and sound and touch are bound up with our own bodies and cannot be impersonal. Our emotions start similarly from ourlves. An infant feels hunger or discomfort, and is unaffected except by his own physical condition. Gradually with the years, his horizon widens, and, in proportion as his thoughts and feelings become less personal and less concerned with his own physical states, he achieves growing wisdom. This is of cour a matter of degree. No one can view the world with complete impartiality; and if anyone could, he would hardly be able to remain alive. But it is possible to make a continual approach towards impartiality, on the one hand, by knowing things somewhat remote in time or space, and on the other hand, by giving to such things their due weight in our feelings. It is this approach towards impartiality that constitutes growth in wisdom.

我认为智慧的本质就是逃离此时此地的藩篱，越远越好。我们无法遏制感觉的自我性，视力、声音和触觉都捆绑在我们自己的身体上，不可能不被私有化。我们的感情始于我们自己。婴儿感觉饥饿和不舒服，他只受自己身体条件的影响。渐渐地，随着年龄的增长，他的视野增加，他的思想和感情变得不那么私人性、更少与自己身体状况相关，他不断获取智慧。这个当然有个程度问题。没有人对世界的看法能够完全客观；即便有这样的人，他也很难存活。但是不断接近客观是可能的，办法是：一方面，了解在时空上多少有些遥远的事情；另一方面，让这些事物在我们的感情中占据应有的分量，就是这种对客观的接近，构成智慧的增加。
Can wisdom in this n be taught? And, if it can, should the teaching of it be one of the aims of education? I should answer both the questions in the affirmative. We are told on Sundays that we should love our neighbors as ourlves. On the other six days of the week, we are exhorted to hate. But you will remember that the precept was exemplified by saying that the Samaritan was our neighbour. We no longer have any wish to hate Samaritans and so we are apt to miss the point of the parable. If you wnat to get its point, you should substitute Communist or anti-Communist, as the ca may be, for Samaritan.
It might be objected that it is right to hate tho who do harm. I do not think so. If you hate them, it is only too likely that you will become equally harmful; and it is very unlikely that you will induce them to abandon their evil ways. Hatred of evil is itlf a kind of bondage to evil. The way out is through understanding, not through hate. I am not advocating non-resistance. But I am saying that resistance, if it is to be effective in preventing the spread of evil, should be combined with the greatest degree of understanding and the smallest degree of force that is compatible with the survival of the good things that we wish to prerve.
