Abstract

Gifted children are an extremely precious resource. But what does it mean to be gifted? Ellen Winner has devoted much of her career to addressing this question. In this essay, I argue that our society misdefines giftedness, placing undue emphasis on analytical skills. Moreover, the problem is getting worse. Amplifying factors in society are narrowing rather than broadening our definition of giftedness. I discuss what is happening, why, and what we can do about it.

被“天赋”是祝福还是诅咒，或者两者兼而有之？

天才儿童是极其宝贵的资源。但是天赋意味着什么呢？Ellen Winner在她职业生涯的大部分时间里都致力于解决这个问题。在这篇文章中，我认为我们的社会对天赋的定义是错误的，过分强调分析技能。此外，问题越来越严重。社会中的放大因素正在缩小而不是扩大我们对天赋的定义。我讨论发生了什么，为什么，以及我们能做些什么。
