告青年书_第48章真教育

Chapter 48—True Education

真教育就是谆谆教导人将有关创造主上帝和救赎主耶稣基督的知识。这样的教育能更新人的心灵，改变人的品格。它会加强人心抵制人类仇敌耳语式欺骗的力量，使我们明白上帝的声音。它会使学生获得作基督同工的资格。{MYP 171.1}[1]

True education is the inculcation of those ideas that will impress the mind and heart with the knowledge of God the Creator and Jesus Christ the Redeemer. Such an education will renew the mind and transform the character. It will strengthen and fortify the mind against the deceptive whisperings of the adversary of souls, and enable us to understand the voice of God. It will fit the learned to become a co-worker with Christ.{MYP 171.1}[1]

我们的青年若得到这种知识，就必获得所有其他重要的知识。否则，他们从世界上所接受的一切知识，不足以使他们假如主的队伍中。他们虽然可以积累一切书本的知识，但对于公义基本原则却一无所知。这种原则能使他们获得蒙上帝悦纳的品格。{MYP 171.2}[2]

If our youth gain this knowledge, they will be able to gain all the rest that is essential; but if not, all the knowledge they may acquire from the world will not place them in the ranks of the Lord. They may gather all the knowledge that books can give, and yet be ignorant of the first principles of that righteousness which could give them a character approved of God.{MYP 171.2}[2]

凡正在地上的学校中求学的人务要记住，另一所学校也希望他们入学，那就是基督的学校。学生在那所学校里永远不会毕业，其中的学生有老有少。凡倾听神圣教师教诲的人，会不断获得更多的智慧和更高尚的品质，以准备好进入更高的学府，在永恒的岁月里不断进步。{MYP 171.3}[3]

Those who are seeking to acquire knowledge in the schools of earth should remember that another school also claims them as students—the school of Christ. From this school the students are never graduated. Among the pupils are both old and young. Those who give heed to the instructions of the divine Teacher are constantly gaining more wisdom and nobility of soul, and thus they are prepared to enter that higher school, where advancement will continue throughout eternity.{MYP 171.3}[3]

无限智慧的主把人生的大课题，就是有关责任与快乐的课题摆在我们面前。这些功课往往很难学。但如果没有这些知识，我们就不会有真实的进步。学习这些教训可能要我们付出努力，泪水，甚至痛苦；但我们不要畏缩和厌倦。我们正是在这个世界的种种考验与试探中获得与圣洁天使交往的资格。凡专心致志于次要学科，而放弃在基督的学校里学习的人，正在蒙受无穷的损失。{MYP 171.4}[4]

Infinite Wisdom sets before us the great lessons of life—the lessons of duty and happiness. These are often hard to learn, but without them we can make?no real progress. They may cost us effort, tears, and even agony; but we must not falter nor grow weary. It is in this world, amid its trials and temptations, that we are to gain a fitness for the society of the pure and holy angels. Those who become so absorbed in less important studies that they cease to learn in the school of Christ, are meeting with infinite loss.{MYP 171.4}[4]

创造主赐给人类的所有才能都要用来荣耀祂。这就使我们才能得到最纯洁，最高尚和最快乐的发挥。要把天国的原则摆在人生的首位。我们在知识的追求和文化的培养上每前进一步，都应与上帝的形象更为接近。——《基督教育原理》543，544页{MYP 172.1}[5]

Every faculty, every attribute, with which the Creator has endowed the children of men is to be employed for His glory; and in this employment is found its purest, noblest, happiest exercise. The principles of heaven should be made paramount in the life, and every advance step taken in the acquirement of knowledge or in the culture of the intellect should be a step toward the assimilation of the human to the divine.—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 543, 544.{MYP 172.1}[5]

【最重要的教育】
我们今日的青年最重要的教育，即预备他们进入天上更高学府的教育，乃是教导他们如何向世人传达上帝的旨意。——《评论与通讯》1907年10月24日{MYP 172.2}[6]

【The Essential in Education】
The most essential education for our youth today to gain, and that which will fit them for the higher grades of the school above, is an education that will teach them how to reveal the will of God to the world.—The Review and Herald, October 24, 1907.{MYP 172.2}[6]

【最高的教育】
凡献身学习上帝的作为和旨意的人，正在接受人类所能接受的最高教育。他们不是把经验建立在世俗的诡辩上，而是建立在永恒的原则上。——《基督教育之研究》36页{MYP 172.3}[7]

【The Highest Education】
Those who give themselves to learn the way and will of God are receiving the highest education that it is possible for mortals to receive. They are building their experience, not on the sophistries of the world, but upon principles that are eternal.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 36.{MYP 172.3}[7]
