问题     With a high degree of specialization, the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly than ever before. But this has not been achieved without considerable cost. The scientist, who outside his own particular subject is little more than an idiot, is a modern phenomenon; as is the man of letters who is barely aware of the tremendous strides that have been made in technology. Similarly, specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life. Many activities which were once pursued for their own sakes are often given up in despair: they require techniques, the experts tell us, which take a life-time to master. Why learn to play the piano, when you can listen to the world’s greatest pianists in your own drawing-room?

答案     随着知识的高度专业化,各学科正以前所未有的速度不断发展,但为此也付出了高昂的代价。一个科学家一旦脱离了其自身研究领域,即与白痴无异,这不能不说是现代社会的咄咄怪事。而对于科技方面的重大进展,文人也同样几乎一无所知。同样,专业化也使各行各业的普通人受到间接的影响。人们以往的那些兴趣爱好,现在却不得不绝望地放弃,因为专家告诉我们,兴趣需要技术,且穷尽一生才能掌握。当你能在自己的客厅欣赏到世界上最伟大的钢琴家演奏时,你还学习钢琴干什么呢?
