读麦·讲演·在光速下生活（1974）·010

Today, everyone in this room is being subjected to a new form of oral education. Literacy is still officially the educational establishment but unofficially the oral forms are coming up very fast. This is the meaning of rock. It is a kind of education based upon an oral tradition, an acoustic experience, which is quite strangely remote from literacy.

今天，这间屋子里的每一位都正在接受一种新形式的口头教育。读写能力现在仍然是官方的教育方针，但是从非官方的角度，口头的教育形式正在迅速发生。这就是摇滚的意义。这是一种基于口头传统、听觉体验的教育，这种教育与读写能力相去甚远。

按：现在电子文化中的教学和从前口头传统的教育，都与讲求读写能力的书面-机械教育体制相去甚远。发生，come up，出现，引起注意，地位上升，流行起来。

爵士乐、摇滚乐是基于听觉体验的口头传统式的教育形式。要留意爵士乐、摇滚乐的弦外之音，比如即兴演奏，比如全身心投入。
