I am fortunate to have gone to university: fortunate to have had the experience and fortunate to have had the skills that get you through school and into higher education. There are plenty of skills I do not have — skills more valuable than turning out newspaper columns. They include fixing leaking roofs, replacing car brake pads, inserting catheters and disarming knife-wielding muggers.
我很幸运读过大学：有幸拥有读大学的体验、有幸拥有读完中学然后接受高等教育的技能。还有很多比撰写报纸专栏更有价值的技能是我不具备的。这些技能包括修补漏水的屋顶、更换汽车刹车片、给病人插入导管以及制服持刀的劫犯。

【犀利观点】很多职业都要不需要大学文凭：全段
These require training, practice and experience. I doubt that three or four years of attending (or skipping) lectures, trying out and discarding political philosophies, socialising and partying teach you any of these. The idea that university is the pinnacle of educational achievement denigrates valuable non-academic skills.This view is particularly strong in the UK which, as a consequence, has a poor record on apprenticeships.
这些技能需要培训、实践和经验。我不相信用三、四年的课堂教育(或逃课)、听完即忘的政治哲学、社交和聚会能够传授其中任何技能。把大学看作教育成就顶峰的观念，贬低了宝贵的非学术类技能。而这种观念在英国尤为强烈，其结果是英国的学徒教育乏善可陈。
【经典句式】
require需要
training培训
practice实践
experience经验
attend lectures上课(大学)
skip lectures逃课(大学)
try out尝试
discard丢弃
socialise社交
pinnacle高峰
denigrate诋毁;玷污

【犀利观点】有些技巧要在课堂之外学习：
These require training, practice and experience. I doubt that three or four years of attending (or skipping) lectures, trying out and discarding political philosophies, socialising and partying teach you any of these.
【犀利观点】象牙塔并非圣贤：
The idea that university is the pinnacle of educational achievement denigrates valuable non-academic skills.
Although the British government has made boosting the apprenticeship system a priority, a report last month from Ofsted, the education inspection service, said that a third of the apprenticeship providers they visited offered substandard training.
虽然英国政府已将振兴学徒制度列为一项政策重点，但教育检查服务机构——教育标准局(Ofsted) 10月发布的一份报告称，他们走访的培养学徒的机构中，有三分之一提供的培训不合格。
【经典句式】
make… a priority将……列为优先项目
boost振兴;推动
apprenticeship学徒
inspection督查
substandard不合格的
training培训
