Learning, Chinese-Style

Howard Gardner

1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the

bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin

while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools.

But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between

Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the

lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.

中国式的学习风格

霍华德·加德纳

1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南

京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而，我和埃伦获得的有关

中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭

店的大堂。

2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room

number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key,

either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box.

Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into

it.

我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，

可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位

置才塞得进去。
