過去簡單式

Actually, truthfully, we moved to Los Angeles -- (Laughter) --

其實我們是搬到洛杉磯 （笑聲）

but anyway, it's a short plane ride from Los Angeles

and when I got here, I was told various things,

It's not true. I've traveled the whole length and breadth of this country.

但這不是真的，我旅行全美各地

I have found no evidence that Americans don't get irony.

We've invaded every country we've encountered.

But it's not true Americans don't get irony,

說美國人聽不懂諷刺，絕對是假的

but I just want you to know that that's what people

You know, so when you leave living rooms in Europe,

people say, thankfully, nobody was ironic in your presence.

大家會說，還好沒人當你的面諷刺

when I came across that legislation No Child Left Behind.

就在我聽到「沒有孩子落後」時(有教無類法案 No Child Left Behind)

Because whoever thought of that title gets irony,

because it's leaving millions of children behind.

Now I can see that's not a very attractive name for legislation:

如果法案叫做「百萬孩子落後」

Millions of Children Left Behind. I can see that.

60 percent of kids drop out of high school.

If we halved that number, one estimate is

it would create a net gain to the U.S. economy

over 10 years of nearly a trillion dollars.

this is good math, isn't it, that we should do this?

非常划算，對吧？那是不是該做呢？

to mop up the damage from the dropout crisis.

But the dropout crisis is just the tip of an iceberg.

What it doesn't count are all the kids who are in school

but being disengaged from it, who don't enjoy it,

但心不在學校的孩子他們不喜歡上學

not that we're not spending enough money.

Class sizes are smaller than in many countries.

And there are hundreds of initiatives every year

The trouble is, it's all going in the wrong direction.

問題是，這些嘗試都走錯了方向

and they are contradicted by the culture of education

現有教育文化卻背道而馳，因此

And the rest of you have seen such children.

and I am confident that I will win the bet.

I bet you they are completely different from each other.

some color-coding system, so we don't get confused."

「有教無類法案」所倡導的教育

is based on not diversity but conformity.

What schools are encouraged to do is to find out

what kids can do across a very narrow spectrum of achievement.

One of the effects of No Child Left Behind

「有教無類法案」的影響之一是

onto the so-called STEM disciplines. They're very important.

I'm not here to argue against science and math.

我不是要說，科學及數學不重要

On the contrary, they're necessary but they're not sufficient.

A real education has to give equal weight

to the arts, the humanities, to physical education.

An awful lot of kids, sorry, thank you — (Applause) —

許多孩子，抱歉，謝謝…（掌聲）

One estimate in America currently is that

something like 10 percent of kids, getting on that way,

are being diagnosed with various conditions

under the broad title of attention deficit disorder.

結果一律被稱為注意力不足障礙 (ADD)

ADHD. I'm not saying there's no such thing.

或 注意力不足過動症 (ADHD)我不是說這種病不存在

I just don't believe it's an epidemic like this.
