I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
我相信一名好老师就是一名伟大的艺术家,而且相信好的老师和伟大的艺术家一样难得。教书也许是一门最伟大的艺术,因为它的媒体是人的大脑和灵魂。
I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.
我特别要说一说我的第一位老师,她教会我们其他知识,也教会我们如何探求知识。
She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn’t even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.
她让我们大声讨论,挥舞着书本。她的课堂是全校最乱的课堂,而她对此却好像全然不知。我们从不会拘泥于一个科目上。她培养我们的好奇心,让我们自己去发现事实和真理,把它们攥在手中,像被捕捉的萤火虫一样。
She was fired and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I could not do simple arithmetic but through her I sensed that abstract mathematics was very much like music.
