英语新闻丨什么样的孩子才能成为大科学家？全国政协委员倪闽景解答

Science literacy has tripled in the past 12 years in China, Ni Minjing, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, said on Sunday.3月10日，全国政协委员、上海科技馆馆长倪闽景表示，过去12年，中国的科学素养提高了两倍。Speaking at a member's passage interview on the sidelines of the annual two sessions, Ni, head of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, attributed the progress to a society-wide efforts to popularize science.倪闽景在接受两会期间会员通道采访时将这一进步归功于全社会科普努力。"For example, CPPCC National Committee has launched a Members' Science Lecture Hall, where many academicians and renowned scientists take the lead in popularizing science," he said, “an increasing number of scientists are taking on part-time roles as vice-principals for science and technology in primary and secondary schools."具体表现为，全国政协推出了委员科普讲堂，很多院士、知名科学家带头科普。越来越多的科学家在中小学兼职担任科技副校长。Ni said global science education is shifting toward learning for innovation, where innovation stems from diverse minds and actions. Playing basketball, joining a chorus competition, and helping with household chores, can all strengthen their mental faculties and reduce the chance of psychological problems and, eventually, increase the likelihood of innovative talents.他还表示，全球科学教育正在转向为创新而学习，创新源于多样化的思想和行动。打篮球、参加合唱比赛、帮忙做家务，都可以增强他们的心智能力，减少出现心理问题的风险，并最终提升培养出创新人才的可能性。He said that top innovative talents share three common traits: first, they are very independent and proactive; second, they have a strong interest in a particular field and are highly focused; third, they are particularly resilient and can persevere. Regardless of exam performance, these three qualities can be nurtured and are the true value and power of education.倪闽景表示，顶尖创新人才有三个共同特点：一是非常独立、主动；其次，他们对某一特定领域有浓厚的兴趣，并且高度专注；第三，他们的韧性特别强，能够坚持下去。无论考试成绩如何，这三种品质都是可以培养的，这才是教育的真正价值和力量.Ni stressed that scientific education is not just about high-tech education. "Everything is open to exploration, and even rural areas are full of scientific resources. Every piece of soil, every flower and every clear night sky presents excellent opportunities for scientific exploration."倪闽景强调，科学教育不仅仅是高科技教育。一切都是开放的，就连农村也充满了科学资源。每一块土壤、每一朵花、每一片晴朗的夜空，都是科学探索的绝佳机会。literacy英/ˈlɪt.ər.ə.si/ 美/ˈlɪt̬.ɚ.ə.si/n.素养Attribute to将A归功于B
