重点段落1.
原文：
Education institutions are committed to "general education" for undergraduates. The premise underlying the philosophyof general education is that students will be best prepared for life if they can assimilate new information and reason through to new conclusions. Since ant particular body of knowledge is bound to become obsolete, the object of general education is not to convey any particular content, but rather to develop certain qualities of mind; the ability to think independently, to regard the world with curiosity and ask interesting questions, to subject the world to sustained and rigorous analysis, to use the perspectives of more than one discipline, and to arrive at fresh, creative answers. Society gains most from such an education that enables students to reason, to think creatively, and to respond adaptively.
参考译文：
在本科生阶段，大学都致力于“通识教育”。主张教育的理论依据是，学生通过吸收新的信息，并通过思考得出新的结论，从而为他们的一生打下良好的基础。由于任何特定知识都会过时，所以通识教育的目的并不是要传授具体的专业知识，而是要培养学生的动脑能力，即独立思考，对世界充满好奇，提出有意义的问题，不断缜密的研究，以跨学科的视角分析世界，找到新的、 具有创造性的答案。社会将从这种教育模式中获益良多，因为它能够培养学生的推理、创造性思维和灵活应变的能力。

重点段落2.
原文：
Professors also encourage students' critical thinking through writing assignments and examination questions they ask. Exams emphasize analysis and problem solving rather than description and memory. Many exam questions in our colleges don't have a correct answer; they are designed to see how well a student can draw upon the facts and theoretical explanations at their disposal to give a convincing argument of their own.
参考译文 ：
教授通过给学生留书面作业和设置考题鼓励学生进行批判性思考，主要考学生分析问题和解决问题的能力，而不是他们描述和记忆的能力。我们大学的许多考题其实并没有标准答案，试题的设计思路是要考察学生能否利用他们掌握的事实和理论提出有说服力的观点。
笔记
◾writing assignments书面作业
◾critical thinking 批判性思维
◾draw upon凭借;利用;动用
译点拓展 ◾批判性思维是敢于对事物提出质疑的思想方法。批判性思维不是看到什么就相信什么，而是根据自己的经验和专业知识，对看到的东西做出独立的分析和判断。 •翻译中的批判性思维是译者以怀疑的眼光审视原文、译文、词典中给出的对等词，以及网上查到的所有资料，并依赖自己掌握的证据，根据逻辑推理，在理解和表达方面做出正确的判断。 |

回译
回译，即将原文与译文调换，从译文往原文翻译，巩固提高双语能力。
