四級(jí)翻譯模擬題：《學(xué)問與趣聞》節(jié)選

請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

由小學(xué)到中學(xué)，所修習(xí)的無(wú)非是一些普通的基本知識(shí)。就是大學(xué)四年，所授課業(yè)也還是相當(dāng)粗淺的學(xué)識(shí)。世人常稱大學(xué)為“最高學(xué)府”，這名稱易滋誤解，好像過(guò)此以上即無(wú)學(xué)問可言。大學(xué)的研究所才是初步研究學(xué)問的所在，在這里做學(xué)問也只能算是粗涉藩籬，注重的是研究學(xué)問的方法與實(shí)習(xí)。學(xué)無(wú)止境，一生的時(shí)間都嫌太短，所以古人皓首窮經(jīng)，頭發(fā)白了還是在繼續(xù)研究，不過(guò)在這樣的研究中確是有濃厚的趣味。

【參考答案】

From elementary school to middle school, what has been learned is nothing but some basically common knowledge.Even what you are imparted during four-year university is also something superficial.Universities are usually referred to “the highest educational institution”which tends to breed the illusion that there is no more to learn after university.The research institutes of universities are just the places where knowledge is primarily studied.But even there you get only the first taste of learning where emphasis is on research methodology and practice.There is no satiety in study,and one's whole life is still not enough for learning.That's why ancient people continued with study even when their hair had turned hoary.However,indeed there was strong interest in this process.
