和动物相比,人类的成长期要漫长得多,因为我们有太多知识和信息需要去学习和接受,有太多的技能需要去掌握,也有太多的未知世界,等待我们去探索。而这一些学习的基础,其实就是阅读。目前人类最主要的学习方式,就是通过阅读来把文字信息转换为知识的学习方式。 Compared to animals, humans grow much longer because we have too much knowledge and information to learn and accept, too much skill to grasp and too many unknowns to await us. The basis of some of these learning, in fact, is to read. At present, the most important way of learning for mankind is to convert the text information into knowledge by reading.
