誨人不倦：享譽世界的五位名師

Confucius
Confucius was a Chinese teacher and philosopher who preached the values of formal learning. He taught thousands of students during his lifetime, focusing on what he termed the Six Arts; these include music, archery, mathematics, ritual, chariot-riding and calligraphy. Additionally, Confucius placed a strong emphasis on morals and integrity. His influence as a teacher shaped Chinese education for several millennia and has impacted education and philosophy throughout the world.
孔子是一位倡導正規教育的老師、哲人。一生中，門下有過數以千計的學生。他的教學重點在於“六藝”（小編注：要求學生掌握的六種基本才能），包括：禮、樂、射、御、書、數。除此之外，孔子在道德培養方面也具有重要地位。作爲先師，孔子不僅對中國的教育有數千年之久的影響，也對世界範圍內的教育、哲學產生了一定影響。

Socrates
Socrates is considered one of Western Civilization's most significant teachers and philosophers. He led discussions with the people of Athens in which he posed challenging and profound questions. One of his students, Plato, would go on to become another major figure in the history of Western philosophy. His style of stimulating thought through question asking has been adopted by many modern teachers and is known as the Socratic method.
蘇格拉底被視爲西方文明中最偉大的老師、哲人之一。他引導古希臘人進行辯論，辯論中經常提出一些深刻而具有挑戰性的問題。蘇格拉底的學生柏拉圖是西方哲學史上另一個非常重要的人物。他通過提問啓發思想的作法被現今很多老師借鑑，這種教學方法被稱爲“蘇格拉底法”。Roger Bacon
A native of England, Roger Bacon was a friar and scholar in many academic areas, including mathematics, early chemistry and optics. He conducted experiments that greatly advanced the understanding of philosophy and science in his day. His outspoken teaching and writing style led to an imprisonment of nearly 15 years.
羅吉爾·培根，英國人，既是一名修道士，也在包括數學、化學和光學的很多領域內成爲學者。他所做的實驗大大促進了那個時代人們對哲學和科學的理解。然而他開放的教學和寫作風格爲自己帶來的卻是近15年的牢獄之災。

Nathan Hale
Nathan Hale is best known as an American soldier in the Revolutionary War who was captured by the British while acting as a spy. He was hanged at the age of 21, famously saying as his final words, 'I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.'

Prior to his death, however, he had been a teacher in Connecticut since age 18. Though his career was brief, he made advances in the cause of providing higher education to women. Hale devoted early morning hours to a class of young women. He taught them the same material he would teach their brothers later in the day.

內森·黑爾是獨立戰爭中一名被英國擒獲的美國間諜兵。他在21歲那年被處以絞刑，臨刑前的遺言後來成爲享譽世界的名言：“我唯一遺憾的就是我只能爲我的祖國犧牲一次。”內森從18歲開始就一直是康乃迪克州的一名教師。雖然他的教學生涯很短暫，但卻爲婦女能夠獲得更高層次的教育做出了重要貢獻。那時他每天早上都會爲年輕婦女們上課，並教給她們和男學生們一樣的知識。

Annie Sullivan
By the age of four, Annie Sullivan was legally blind due to a disease called trachoma. At age nine, upon the death of her mother and abandonment by her father, she was sent to an orphanage that lacked formal education opportunities. However, she pleaded with an administrator to be allowed to learn and eventually graduated as valedictorian of the Perkins School for the Blind in 1886.

After several operations resulted in a return of her partial eyesight, she used her gifts and uncommon perspective to begin teaching a young deaf and mute girl named Helen Keller. Sullivan was the first teacher to find success with a deaf and mute child.
