她看到了屋外广场上，充满新春气息的树梢是那么的兴奋。空气中弥漫着芬芳的雨的气息。窗户下面的街道上，小贩正在叫卖他的器皿。远处传来缥缈的歌声，数不清的麻雀也在屋檐下叽叽喳喳地唱个不停。
对着她窗户的西边天空上，层层叠叠的云朵之间，露着一绺一绺的蔚蓝蔚蓝色的天空。突出文章的主题：被压抑的个性和对自由的追求。她把头靠在椅背上，非常地平静。除了像个孩子自己哭着睡着了，还继续呜咽一样，她也偶尔地呜咽一下，这使她有点颤抖。 她很年青，她那白皙、安详的脸上线条，显示着一种压抑甚至说是一种力量。但是现在，她那凝望蓝天的双眸，目光茫然，甚或有点呆滞。这并不是匆匆沉思的一瞥，更不是一种长久的深思熟虑，而是精神世界一片空旷。

Primary and secondary school will impart to you only some rudiments of knowledge. Even what you learn during the four years of university will be something quite superficial too. A university has often been misleadingly referred to as "the highest seat of learning, which sounds as if there were no more learning to speak of beyond it. The research institute of a university, however, is the place for preliminary scholarship. But even there you get only the first taste of learning and the emphasis is on research methodology and practice. Art is long, life is short. That is why some of our ancients continued to study even when they were hoary-headed. They were, of course, motivated by an enormous interest in their studies.

The Pleasure of Learning
The Pleasure of Learning Almost everyone will be confused when they ask themselves, "why we learn. " In China, students answer this question, "to pass the College Entrance Examination". But after I read the article which entitled The Pleasure of Learning, I know the correct answer. It's the pleasure of learning.
In this article, the author thinks learning is a natural, inborn and instinctive pleasure, and it's one of the innate pleasures of the human race. However, this pleasure is not confined to learning from textbooks. It is found in all kinds of the experience, practices, arts, crafts and explorations. He believes that the wholeness of
the mind and spirit can only be achieved through exerting one's own efforts.
When it comes to this article, what promptly surges into my mind is the childhood memory of learning. When I was young, my teachers used to discuss "why we learn? " with us. There were many reasons coming up. We learn because we need to acquire professional knowledge and therefore a good job. We can use the knowledge to help people, and we will learn ourselves better by knowing more about the world. We can reap huge fruits from it, the pleasure. The last reason was the one our teacher emphasized most but I think I didn't truly get it then. This was not to say that I didn't like to go to school and acquire new knowledge. The knowledge I got from formal education is aimed to be service for the final examination completely and has slowly faded away. Having been lost the motivation, learning new things just became a burden for me. Fortunately, as my approaching to 40s with more insights of myself and the world, I started to attain the happiness again. Learning to unlock the relationship between practical use and learning in my mind, I became able to enjoy knowing new things, but not the possible rewards they might bring to me.
From my perspective, I realized that learning is a way, and the only way. We become more intimate with the world we're living in. Now, I think I understand the true meaning of the pleasure of learning.
