CurrentAttitudes toward Physical Fitness 当前对于健身的态度 Recently we were told by a student that setting aside time for improving his physical fitness would bea total misuseof his working hours.He assured usthathe would be nobetter servedby a fitness program than by learning to play bridge. College and his preparation for a career were his only priorities. 最近，有个学生告诉我说，分出一部分时间去提高身体健康的水平，纯粹是挤占了他的 学习时间。他想让我相信，假如让他参加健身培训班和让他学打桥牌同样都是对他没有好处 的。他把上大学和准备干一番事业摆在了比一切都重要的位置。 This student has seen being physically fit as an end rather than the means we know it to be.
