原文重现：
To think of geniuses and the gifted as having uniquely different brains is only reasonable if we accept that each human brain is uniquely different. The purpose of instruction is to make us even more different from one another, and in the process of being educated we can learn from the achievements of those mom gifted than ourselves. But before we try to emulate geniuses or encourage our children to do so we should note that some of the things we learn from them may prove unpalatable. We may envy their achievements and fame, but we should also recognize the price they may have paid in terms of perseverance, single-mindedness, dedication, restrictions on their personal lives, the demands upon their energies and time, and how often they had to display great courage to preserve their integrity or to make their way to the top.
原文翻译：
只有在承认了每个人的大脑都是独特的这一前提下，认为天才和有天赋者的大脑*、异于常人这一想法才能算是合理的。教育的目的就在于使我们更加与众不同，而在受教育的过程中，我们可以从比我们更有天赋的人的成就学校有所得。但是，在效仿天才或鼓励我们的宝贝这样做之前，我们应该注意到，从他们身上学到的某些东西结果可能并不令人愉快。我们可能会羡慕他们的成就和名誉，但是也应该看到他们为此所付出的代价，看到他们的锲而不舍，专心致志，献身精神，自我约束，他们对自己时间和精力的严格要求，以及多少次他们不得不表现出极大的勇气来*持自身的正直或艰难地走成功。
原文逻辑结构分析：
此段是议论文中的欲扬先抑写作手法：提出论点——详细说明——让步举例。首句采用“正话反说”的手法：To think of geniuses and the gifted as having uniquely different brains is only reasonable if we accept that each human brain is uniquely different.即提出论点，认为“只有在承认了每个人的大脑都是独特的这一前提下，认为天才和有天赋者的大脑*、异于常人这一想法才能算是合理的。”作者言下之意其实为“人类的大脑并不独特，所以天才的大脑并非*。”第二句表明很多人在受教育过程中模仿天才的行为。较后一句列举成为天才的道路无比艰辛，需要付出巨大代价。
美文赏析：
该段中写作较为精彩的当属较后一句话“We may envy their achievements and fame, but we should also recognize the price they may have paid in terms of perseverance, single-mindedness, dedication, restrictions on their personal lives, the demands upon their energies and time, and how often they had to display great courage to preserve their integrity or to make their way to the top.”主要有三点精彩之处：其一，句式工整、文词华丽。作者多列大量词汇形容成为天才要付出的巨大代价，例如“perseverance, single-mindedness, dedication, restrictions on their personal lives”。并且巧妙使用了“in terms of”将这些华丽的罗列收敛其后，既避免了句式杂乱，又增加了立论气势。其二，用意出彩、微言大义。作者在此不吝笔墨，将天才的成功道路上需要付出的代价逐一罗列，不由得让人感叹，在天才耀眼华丽的外衣之下，竟隐藏着一路艰辛的伤痕，行文至此，可谓将说明文写出了慷概激昂的意境。正如战地女记者玛莎·盖尔荷恩在其有关作家海明威的回忆录中所写的：“这个万众瞩目的文学巨人、硬汉，在某一天清晨站在窗前脱去睡衣时，我看到了一个布满伤疤的衰老的身体。”
