The Education of Humanists

　　1)The education of humanists cannot be regarded as complete or even adequate without exposure in some depth to where things stand in the various branches of science particularly in the areas of our ignorance.2)Physics professors most of them look with revulsion on assignments to teach their subjects to poets.3) The liberal arts faculties for their parts will continue to view the scientists with suspicion and apprehension. 4) But maybe a new set of courses dealing systematically with ignorance in science will take hold.5) The scientists might discover in it a new and subversive technique for catching the attention of students driven by curiosity delighted and surprised to learn that science is exactly as some scientists described it: an “endless frontier.”6) The humanists for their part might take considerable satisfaction in watching their scientific colleagues confess openly to not knowing everything about everyone.7) And the poets on whose shoulders the future rests might late nights thinking things over begin to see some meanings that elude the rest of us.

　　人文主义者的教育如果不在一定深度上了解科学各个领域的情况，尤其是我们一无所知的领域，那就不能视为是完全的，或是足够的。大多数的物理教师如让我们教诗人物理，都很反感。而文科教师会继续以怀疑和恐惧的心情看待科学家。或许，那些帮助学生系统地了解科学方面所不知道的东西的新课程将会建立。科学家的注意力。这些学生会惊奇地发现科学正如一些科学家所描写的。是一个永远了开发不完的处女地。而当人主义者注意到他们的科学家的同事公开承认并不是对任何东西都彻底了解时，也会感到极大的满足。而身上寄托着未来的诗人们或许在深夜反复思索，开始看到了我们大多数人所不能理解的意思。
