لاتین در دانشگاه

"We are told that it is proper to begin first with the Latin, and, having acquir'd that, it will be more easy to attain those modern languages which are deriv'd from it; and yet we do not begin with the Greek, in order more easily to acquire the Latin. It is true that, if you can clamber and get to the top of a staircase without using the steps, you will more easily gain them in descending; but certainly, if you begin with the lowest you will with more ease ascend to the top; and I would therefore offer it to the consideration of those who superintend the education of our youth, whether, since many of those who begin with the Latin quit the same after spending some years without having made any great proficiency, and what they have learnt becomes almost useless, so that their time has been lost, it would not have been better to have begun with the French, proceeding to the Italian, etc.; for, tho', after spending the same time, they should quit the study of languages and never arrive at the Latin, they would, however, have acquired another tongue or two, that, being in modern use, might be serviceable to them in common life."

به نظر خیلی هیجان انگیز میاد . سخته خیلی اما یک جوری یاد گرفتن زبان لاتین یک کار هیجان انگیز به نظر میاد!

موفق باشي مريم جان:)

خوب اینم اندر فواید بلاد خارجه ... امیدوارم یه روزی بتونی از لاتین به المانی ترجمه کنی ... لیلا خیلی سلام می رسونه ...

سلام
پاي مطلب 4 مهر كامنتي گذاشتم. رفرش كه كردم ديدم اي بابا كلي مطلب هم بعد از آن نوشته شده. خلاصه اينجا خواستم عرض ادبي كنم. در بخش پيوند به ديگر انديشه‌ها لينك شما را نيز اضافه كردم.
پايا و پويا باشيد.

خواهر به شما لينكيديم
هواي اين رفيق ما را هم داشته باشيد لطفاً!

زهی سعادت! فرصت ها را در یاب

و این در حالیست که ما ایرانیها من جمله علوم انسانی خوانهایمان به شدت از زبان عربی گریزانیم و نه تنها خود را به آن نیازمند نمیدانیم که از آن نفرت داریم.
