Paradox of Our Times我们这个时代的尴尬 Today we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; 我们居住的房屋越来越宽敞，家庭却越来越小型化；可以享受的生活便利日益增多，属于自己的时间却日趋减少； we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; 我们获得了一张又一张学位证书，却愈加频繁地陷入对常识的茫然中；我们广泛地涉猎各类知识，却越来越缺乏对于外界事物的准确把握和判断； We have more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

Weve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals. 我们学会了追赶时间，却没学会耐心等待；我们拥有的财富越来越多，道德品质却日益沦丧。 We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality. 我们生产更多的电脑用于存储更多的信息和制造更多的拷贝，而相互间的交流与沟通却越来越少。我们拥有的是数量，缺乏的是质量。 These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. 这是一个快餐食品和消化迟缓相伴的时代；一个体格高大和性格病态并存的时代；一个追名逐利和人情冷漠相生的时代。 More leisure and less fun; more kinds of
