Know More About Less and Less About More 学然后知不足 Know More About Less and Less About More 学然后知不足 We spend a good parts of our lives trying desperately to convince ourselves as well as everybody else that we know more than we really do. Once we accept and acknowledge our own ignorance, we can stand in a great library and look at the tall shelves of great books reaching up to the ceiling, and respect even more the collected wisdom of the ages. At the same time , we can understand there is no shame in that. No individual man or woman is an expert in all things. And even in your own area of expertise, the longer you study and specialize , the more you know about less and less. Meanwhile , the less you know about more and more. 参考译文: 我们几乎耗尽一生使别人也使自己相信:我们懂得的知识比我们实际所 知的还要多。一旦我们接受并承认了我们的无知，我们就能站在宏大的图书馆 里，仰望摆满鸿篇巨作、直达天花板的书架，对历朝历代前人智慧的结晶更加 充满敬意。 同时，我们明白这没有什么可耻的。没有人会精通一切。即使在自己的 专业领域里，学习、专攻的时间越久，你就对越来越少的东西知道得越来越透 彻。同时，你对更多的东西则知之更少。
