美国学者协会曾对四十所大学进行抽样调查,测定二十世纪学生文学知识的变化。结果显示:如果把一九○○年定为一百分,一九一四年一次大战前就是九十九分,一九三九年二战前则为七十三分,一九六四年越战前降至六十九分,一九九三年海湾战争后只剩了二十五分。总之这条曲线一个世纪来持续下落,最近的四十年几乎更是自由落体。
The American Association of Scholars conducted a sample survey of forty universities to determine the changes in student literary knowledge in the twentieth century. The result shows that if one hundredth of a year was set at 100%, the one before 1949 was ninety-nine in 1914, the third at World War II in 1939 was seventy-three and the Vietnam one in 1964 Before dropping to 69 and leaving only 25 points after the Gulf War in 1993. In short, this curve has been going down for a century and is almost free falling in the last four decades.
