pedagogy和pedigree
虽然 "pedagogy"和 "pedigree"看起来很相似,但它们的词源不同。
"Pedagogy"一词源于古希腊语中的“paidagogos”,意为“教育者”,后来演变成拉丁语中的“paedagogus”。
而 "pedigree"的词源则可以追溯到古法语中的“pie de grue”,意为“鹤的脚”。这个词最初被用来描述马匹或犬类等动物的家族血统,人们通常会记录它们的祖先和后代以保持纯种。
这个词后来发展成为一个广义的词汇,可以用来表示人的家族背景或社会地位的来源。因此,尽管这两个词看起来相似,但它们的含义和词源有很大的不同。
"Pedigree"作为一个名词,通常用于描述生物学中的家族谱系或家族血统,特别是用于描述纯种动植物的血统。在动物饲养和种植业中,人们经常使用 "pedigree" 来追踪家族谱系和血统,以确保纯种品种的繁殖和质量。而在社会领域中, "pedigree" 也可以用来描述人类社会中的家族背景、社会阶层和身份来源等。
与之相比, "pedagogy" 则指的是教育学、教学方法和教育理论等方面的研究和实践。它主要关注的是人类的教育和学习活动,包括如何设计课程、如何评估学生、如何培养教师等问题。

However, she quickly discovered that the pedagogy(教学法) of most schools did not align with her values. After years of frustration and disillusionment, Lena fell into a deep depression and ultimately took her own life, a victim of the dark side of society that can crush even the strongest spirits.
