"As we all know, human beings are language animals. Language is almost the cornerstone of human society and culture. Human brain is also a language machine, thinking and memory can be realized with the help of language.
“每个人用语言堆积记忆之山的方式是各不相同的,‘有一千个观众就有一千个哈姆雷特’,记忆也是如此。正是语言这个魔术师,把同样的记忆素材在不同的大脑里建筑成千姿百态的大厦。以简单的背诵诗歌为例,有人只会一字一句地死记硬背,有人先把诗变成散文再背,有人要想象诗中描述的情景、体会词句里的激情。一般的背诵尚且如此,其它记忆更是人人各异其趣。有语言才有记忆,有记忆才能思维。‘参差多态才是幸福的本源’,哲人罗素的话值得深思。大规模地、不分彼此地移植记忆,将制造出千篇一律的头脑、单一刻板的思维方式。每个人的记忆都是一本书,现在,这书都是由我们自己手写的,书的封面、字体、排版风格各不相同,里面还有自己画的插图。记忆之书是人格与个性的体现,有的严谨,有的潇洒,有的刚健,有的秀丽。我自己的记忆,是我写下的书,是我的生命的长诗,它有着独特的绚丽色彩,不容更改。”
"There are different ways for everyone to pile up the mountain of memory with words, 'a thousand viewers have a thousand Hamlets', and so do memories. It's the magician of language who builds the same memory materials into various buildings in different brains. Take the simple recitation of poems as an example. Some people can only memorize words by rote. Some people first turn poems into prose and then recite them. Some people want to imagine the scenes described in poems and experience the passion in words and sentences. Generally speaking, recitation is still like this, and other memories are different from each other. Only with language can we have memory, and only with memory can we think. "Diversity is the source of happiness," said Russell, a philosopher. Large scale and indiscriminate transplantation of memory will create a stereotyped way of thinking. Everyone's memory is a book. Now, the book is written by ourselves. The cover, font and typesetting style of the book are different, and there are illustrations drawn by ourselves. The book of memory is the embodiment of personality and personality. Some are rigorous, some are smart, some are vigorous, some are beautiful. My own memory is the book I wrote down and the long poem of my life. It has a unique and gorgeous color and cannot be changed. "
