[多项选择]目前美国的所谓“人文教育”(liberal arts education)的理念，在中国颇有些鼓吹者。但“人文教育”后面还有体育这一层。体育是学习人生的最好手段。体育和人生的关系，如同数学和科学的关系一样。因为体育能够把人生中千变万化的现象，抽象为几个最简单的规则。不管你干什么专业，你总得和人相处、竞争，总会有成有败，有领先或落后的时刻，总有如何对待对手和“裁判”的问题。在这些境遇中如何自处，体育都会教给你。

No matter what you specialize in, you’ll have to get along and compete with people. Where there is competition, there are winners and losers, and the moments of running ahead of or lagging behind your opponent will surely occur.
