對於"教育論"與對美國教育制度的批判，很值得參考、討論。
Drucker 先生很會就近取喻，譬如說，

was a lot of effort to set up. Because we are going through a reindeer
area we had to check with the owners so we don't disturb them, and we
had to get permission from the defence services to be able to take the

《中英對照讀新聞》Men in heels march for anti-rape message 男子漢穿高跟鞋遊行 傳達反性侵訊息
◎張沛元
A few dozen men seeking to raise awareness for sexual assault violence against women tried to walk a mile in their shoes Friday - literally.
為了喚起眾人對女性遭受性侵暴力的關注，數十名大男人企圖穿上女性的高跟鞋（站在女性的立場）走一英里—他們真的如字面上所言穿上高跟鞋。
Among the participants - some burly and others bearded - in the fourth annual "Walk a Mile in her Shoes" event at the University of Alaska Anchorage was the head of Alaska State Troopers, Col. Keith Mallard, who slipped out of one of his red suede peep-toe shoes during the walk.
這些在阿拉斯加大學安克拉治分校參加第四屆年度「穿上她的鞋（站在她的立場）走一英里」活動的參與者中，有的魁梧，有的留著鬍鬚，還包括阿拉斯加州州警隊主管基斯．梅勒德隊長，他有一隻腳在行進時從紅皮魚口高跟鞋滑了出來。
"I had a blowout," Mallard said sheepishly. "It didn’t hinder my progress any. I just had to pull to the side and get a tire change."
「我爆胎了，」梅勒德不好意思地說。「（高跟鞋）一點都不影響我的行進。我只是得靠邊停車換輪胎罷了。」
The men teetered precariously along the mile-long route, trying to raise money for a local nonprofit that supports sexual assault victims. Donations to Standing Together Against Rape will go toward banishing sexual assaults and other acts of violence against women.
這些大男人在一英里長的路徑上一路搖晃前行，以便為當地一家支持性侵受害者的非營利組織募款。捐給「一起挺身反性侵害」組織的善款，將用於打擊性侵害與其他針對女性的暴力行為。

burly
(bûr'lē) 
adj., -li·er, -li·est.
Heavy, strong, and muscular; husky. See synonyms at muscular.
[Middle English burlich, from Old English *borlic, excellent.]
Vis-à-vis
MeaningIn a position facing another. Literally 'face to face'. Often now used in the sense of 'in relation to'.
Origin
The term is French and began to be used in English in the mid 18th century. The French spelling is vis-à-vis, i.e. with the grave accent, although that is often omitted when written in English. It is now frequently printed, no doubt to French shrugs and mutterings, as 'vis-a-vis' or even 'viz-a-viz'.When 'vis-à-vis' was introduced into England it was provided with two distinct meanings, both of which were in use from the 1750s onward. Oddly, it seems that these were both introduced by the author and politician Horace Walpole.
The first meaning was the literal translation from the French, i.e. 'face-to-face'. Walpole was an incurable letter writer and, fortunately for us, many of his letters have been published in a collection of books, which provides the first citation we have of the term in English, in Letter to George Montague, July 1753:
"He was walking slowly in the beau milieu of Brentford town, without any company, but with a brown lap-dog with long ears, two pointers, two pages, three footmen, and a vis-a-vis following him."
What he meant by a 'vis-a-vis' in that letter was 'a small two-seater carriage, in which the passengers sat face-to-face'. These carriages were similar to the four-seater version that Queen Elizabeth uses each year to tour the course at the Royal Ascot race meeting. The meaning was extended to apply to any person or thing that was facing another, for example, one's dance partner, someone sitting across the table at mealtime, couples meeting in the street, etc. Mary Berry included a citation of the first of these in Social life in England and France from 1780 to 1830, 1831:
It seems perfectly indifferent to them [the peasant men and women dancing] who is their vis-à-vis.Secondly, it meant 'with regard to'/'in relation to'. Horace Walpole again, in Letter to R. Bentley, November 1755:
"What a figure would they make vis-à-vis his manly vivacity and dashing eloquence."It is this second meaning that we have held on to. We can now safety substitute 'with regard to' for 'vis-a-vis' with little fear of misinterpretation.
