大家好！这周的“每周一段”段落选自 2018 年 9 月 25 日《经济学人》The Economist at 175 一文。
一、文本
The need for new thinking does not mean ignoring the lessons of history. The 21st century brings some challenges not seen before, most obviously and most worryingly climate change. But inequality of opportunity and the discontent it drives are not new. Nor is the unhealthy concentration of wealth and power. That is why it is worth dusting off 19th-century ideas, from vigorous competition policy to the taxation of land and inheritance.
The need for new thinking does not mean ignoring the lessons of history. International schools brings some challenges not seen before, most obviously and most worryingly teaching quality. But unfair treatment for Chinese teachers and the discontent it drives are not new.
译文：
需要新思维并不意味着忽视历史的教训。21 世纪带来了一些前所未见的挑战，其中最明显和最令人担忧的是气候变化。但是机会的不平等以及它所带来的不满并不是什么新鲜事。 财富和权力分配不合理也不是什么新鲜事。这就是为什么值得从激烈的竞争政策到征收土地税和继承税中重新审视这些 19 世纪思想。
二、段落解读
《经济学人》在 2018 年 9 月 25 日出了一期“175 周年纪念刊”，封面主题是“a manifesto for renewing liberalism”（重塑自由主义的宣言）。这期里面的 The Economist at 175 一文长达 10 页，共有 6 部分，应该是《经济学人》历史上最长的文章之一。段落选自文章第 6 部分，为便于临摹，段落有微调。
全段共 5 句，为历史、社会、政治等主题写作提供了一个参考模板。第 1 句写新思考和学习历史教训并不矛盾；第 2 句写新的历史社会环境下的挑战；第 3、4 句写一些看似是新的问题只是”新瓶装旧酒“而已；第 5 句回到参照历史的意义。
这段话仿写难度较大，因此我们这次将学习重点放在句式临摹和句子背诵上。
