动名词短语Learning to think and question作主语，系表结构清晰，深刻揭示了学习的深层含义。
If we do not think diligently, we will fall behind the times. While studying at Cambridge, Wittgenstein was a student of Moore. Once, Russell asked Moore who was the most outstanding student, and Moore replied, “Wittgenstein, because he always looks puzzled.” Later, Wittgenstein surpassed Russell. When asked why, Wittgenstein said, “Because Russell no longer had any questions.” This illustrates that if we are not keen on thinking, we will eventually be eliminated by the era.
Thinking is a crucial method of learning. Einstein once said, “We must learn to think, think, and think again. It is by this method that I became a scientist.” The ancient Chinese scholar Zhu Xi also described three stages of reading: being unable to raise questions, being able to raise questions, and being able to solve problems. In the process of learning, we should learn to think and to question authority. For students, “authority” usually refers to teachers. We should not blindly accept the knowledge taught by our teachers, like eating chewed bread, but rather learn to question and explore. Learning to think and question is the true essence of learning.
Finally, I would like to reiterate a quote I love: “Because I never worshipped authority, God, as a punishment, made me an authority as well.”
若不勤于思考，便会落后于时代。在剑桥大学求学期间，维特根斯坦是穆尔的学生。有一次，罗素问穆尔谁最优秀，穆尔回答：“维特根斯坦，因为他总是流露出疑惑的神情。”后来，维特根斯坦在学术上超越了罗素。当别人询问缘由时，维特根斯坦说道：“因为罗素已经没有问题了。”由此可见，若不善于思考，终将被时代淘汰。
思考是学习的关键方法。爱因斯坦曾言：“我们要学会思考、思考、再思考，我就是靠这个方法成为科学家的。”我国古代学者朱熹也曾指出读书的三个阶段：提不出问题，能提出问题，能解决问题。在学习过程中，我们应当学会思考，学会质疑权威。对于学生而言，“权威”往往指代老师。我们不应盲目接受老师传授的知识，如同吃别人嚼过的馒头，而应学会质疑与探索。学会思考与质疑，才是学习的真谛。
最后，我想重申一句我喜爱的名言：“由于我从不迷信权威，所以作为惩罚，上帝让我也成了一名权威。”
