They don't want to do tabula rasa, you know.

他们并不想进行彻底的清除，你懂的。

Before 1693 English philosopher John Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education suggests a child's mind is a tabula rasa, or blank slate.

1693年之前， 英国哲学家约翰·洛克在其著作《教育》提出， 儿童的心灵如同一块板，或称空石板。

They clearly considered the instruments of government less to be inscribed on tablets of stone and more a tabula rasa to be engraved with clean words and completely started again.

他们显然府的制度不应该是刻在石板上的规矩，而是可以重头再来、用干净的语言重新刻画的一张纸。

When it comes to childhood, the first revolutionary idea came from the Englishman John Locke, who proposed that an infant's, a newborn child, was a tabula rasa, a blank sheet of paper, in need of education and instruction from his elders.

谈到童年，第一个革命性的想法来自英国人约翰·洛克，他婴儿或新生儿是一张板，需要长辈的教育和指导。
