如何思考：你从未学过的一项技能

‍‍

原文

No skill is more valuable and harder to acquire than the ability of critical thinking.

没有一种技能比批判性思维能力更有价值，更难以习得。

结构分析

No skill是主语，is more valuable and harder to acquire是系表型谓语(is是系动词，more valuable是表语，and是连接词， harder to acquire是表语)，than the ability of critical thinking是比较状语。

原文

Schools can't teach you the method of thinking because thinking is one of those things that can be learned but can't be taught.

学校不能传授你思考的方法，因为思考是一种可以学但不能教的东西。

结构分析

Schools是主语，can't teach是谓语，you是间接宾语，the method of thinking是直接宾语，because引导原因状语从句，thinking是主语，is one of those things是系表型谓语，that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，can be learned是被动谓语，but是连接词，can't be taught是被动谓语。

词汇

critical/'krɪtɪk(ə)l/ adj. 批评的，关键性的

例句

We must inherit in a critical way.

我们要以批判的方式继承。
