LETTERS TO SCHOOLS - INTRODUCTION/给学校的信 - 前言

Sue

These letters are not meant to be read casually when you have a little time from other things, nor are they to be treated as entertainment. These letters are written seriously and if you care to read them, read them with intent to study what is said as you would study a flower by looking at the flower very carefully its petals, its stem, its colours, its fragrance and its beauty. These letters should be studied in the same manner, not read one morning and forgotten in the rest of the day. One must give time to it, play with it, question it, enquire into it without acceptance; live with it for some time; digest it so that it is yours and not the writer's.

这些信不是给你在闲暇之余草草浏览的，也不是用来作为消遣的。它们是认真写成的，如果你愿意读的话，就带着学习的态度去读。就像你要了解一朵花儿，就得非常细心地观察它的花瓣，它的茎，它的颜色，它的芬芳和它的美。这些信应该以同样的方式去学习，而不是哪天早上随便读一读，然后就把它忘掉了。你必须给它点时间，与它游戏，质疑它，深入地探询而又不轻易接受，与它共处一段时间，消化它，使它成为你自己的东西。
