問題詳情:
What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly.The brain is like a telephone exchange.It is
the switchboard,but not the whole system.Its function is to receive incoming signals,making proper connections and send messages through to their destination.For efficient service,the body must function as a whole.But where is the“mind”?Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After a11, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not like a thing;like a leg,or even the brain.It is a function,an activity.Aristotle,2,300 years ago,observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the axe.
When the axe is not in use,there is no cutting.So with the mind.“Mind”,said Charles H.Woolbert,“is what the body is doing”.If this activity is necessary for thinking,it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to another.If you have never done this with great efforts,you have a surprise in store,for good conversationalists are almost constantly in motion.Their heads are continuously nodding and shaking sometimes so energetically(精神旺盛地)that you wonder how their necks can stand the strain(過度勞累).Even the legs and feet are active, As for the hands and arms.they are seldom still for more than a few seconds at a time.These people,remember,are not making speeches.They are only common people trying to make others understand what they have in mind.They are not conscious of movement.Their speech is not studied.They are just human creatures in a human environment,trying to adapt themselves to a social situation.Yet they converse,not only with oral language,but with visible actions that involve practically every muscle in the body.In short,because people really think all over,a speaker must talk all over if he succeeds in making people think.
