从学校毕业步入社会,每个人都面临着一个单项选择题:你要选择怎样的人生?在英剧《神探夏洛克》中扮演大反派莫里亚蒂的"莫娘"安德鲁·斯科特,诵读了美国首位黑人女法官伊迪斯·S·桑普森的演讲。她给毕业生们出了这样一道单选题:你会用你受过的教育和获得的学位,让自己过上一种怎样的生活?假如你将用一生来践行这个选择,你会选择五个选项中的哪一个?

You graduates have every right to expect penetrating words of profound wisdom.

Unfortunately, though, I am going to have to disappoint you and present to you a multiple-choice test the last of your college career.

The only consolations that I can offer in presenting the test are that you may consult texts freely, the test is self-scoring, and you have a lifetime at your disposal now to complete it.

This exam will be proctored, though.

The proctors will be twothe community in which you live and, hardest taskmaster of all, your inner self.

The question: What do you do with your education now that you have itand now that it is beginning to become obsolete even as you sit here?

Choose one of five possible answers.

Choice One: Put your diploma in a convenient drawer and close the drawer.

Put whatever textbooks you've accumulated in a bookcase and close the bookcase.

Put your mind to the dailiness of earning a satisfactory livelihood and close your mind.
