上學與受教育
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless， it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere， whether in the shower or in the job， whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to thepeople debating politics on the radio， from a child to a distinguished scientist.
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability， education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education， then， is a very broad， inclusive term. It is a lifelong process， a process that starts long before the start of school， and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life. Schooling， on the other hand， is a specific， formalized process， whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.
Throughout a country， children arrive at school at approximately the same time， take assigned seats， are taught by an adult， use similar textbooks， do homework， take exams， and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned， whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government， have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example， high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
上學與受教育
在美國，人們通常認為上學是為了受教育。而現(xiàn)在卻有人認為孩子們上學打斷了他們受教育的過程。這種觀念中的上學與受教育之間的區(qū)別非常重要。
與上學相比，教育更具開放性，內(nèi)容更廣泛。教育不受任何限制。它可以在任何場合下進行，在淋浴時，在工作時，在廚房里或拖拉機上。
它既包括在學校所受的正規(guī)教育，也包括一切非正規(guī)教育。傳授知識的人可以是德高望重的老者，可以是收音機里進行政治辯論的人們，可以是小孩子，也可以是知名的科學家。上學讀書多少有點可預見性，而教育往往能帶來意外的發(fā)現(xiàn)。與陌生人的一次隨意談話可能會使人認識到自己對其它宗教其實所知甚少。
人們從幼時起就開始受教育。因此，教育是一個內(nèi)涵很豐富的詞，它自始至終伴隨人的一生，早在人們上學之前就開始了。
教育應成為人生命中不可缺少的一部分。然而，上學卻是一個特定的形式化了的過程。在不同場合下，它的基本形式大同小異。在全國各地，孩子們幾乎在同一時刻到達學校，坐在指定的座位上，由一位成年人傳授知識，使用大致相同的教材，做作業(yè)，考試等等。
他們所學的現(xiàn)實生活中的一些片斷，如字母表或政府的運作，往往受到科目范圍的限制。
例如，高中生們知道，在課堂上他們沒法弄清楚他們社區(qū)里政治問題的真情，也不會了解到最新潮的電影制片人在做哪些嘗試。
學校教育這一形式化的過程是有特定的限制的。

No Greater Love(愛莫大焉)
I heard this story when I was in Vietnam，and it was told to me as fact. I have no way of knowing for sure that it is true，but I do know that stranger things have happened in war.
Whatever their planned target，the mortar rounds landed in an orphanage run by a missionary group in the small Vietnamese village. The missionaries and one or two children were killed outright，and several more children were wounded，including one young girl，about eight years old.
People from the village requested medical help from a neighboring town that had radio contact with the American forces. Finally，an American Navy doctor and nurse arrived in a jeep with only their medical kits. They established that the girl was the most critically injured. Without quick action，she would die of shock and loss of blood.
A transfusion was imperative，and a donor with a matching blood type was required. A quick test showed that neither American had the correct type，but several of the uninjured orphans did.
The doctor spoke some pidgin Vietnamese，and the nurse a smattering of highschool French. Using that combination，together with much impromptu sign language，they tried to explain to their young，frightened audience that unless they could replace some of the girl‘s lost blood，she would certainly die. Then they asked if anyone would be willing to give blood to help.
Their request was met with wide-eyed silence. After several long moments，a small hand slowly and waveringly went up，dropped back down，and then went up again.
“Oh，thank you，”the nurse said in French.“What is your name?”
“Heng，”came the reply.
Heng was quickly laid on a pallet，his arm swab bed with alcohol，and a needle inserted in his vein. Through this ordeal Heng lay stiff and silent.
After a moment，he let out a shuddering sob，quickly covering his face with his free hand.
“Is it hurting，Heng?”the doctor asked. Heng shook his head，but after a few moments another sob escaped，and once more he tried to cover up his crying. Again the doctor asked him if the needle hurt，and again Heng shook his head.
But now his occasional sobs gave way to a steady，silent crying，his eyes screwed tightly shut，his fist in his mouth to stifle his sobs.
The medical team was concerned. Something was obviously very wrong. At this point，a Vietnamese nurse arrived to help. Seeing the little one‘s distress，she spoke to him rapidly in Vietnamese，listened to his reply and answered him in a soothing voice.
After a moment，the patient stopped crying and looked questioningly at the Vietnamese nurse. When she nodded，a look of great relief spread over his face.
Glancing up，the nurse said quietly to the Americans，“He thought he was dying. He misunderstood you. He thought you had asked him to give all his blood so the little girl could live.”
“But why would he be willing to do that?”asked the Navy nurse.
The Vietnamese nurse repeated the question boy，who answered simply，“She‘s my friend.
Greater love has no man than this——that he will lay down his life for a friend.
