你还记得10岁的时候自己在学什么吗？最近，名为““希望与恐惧”的研究中心研究了全世界6个不同城市公立学校幼儿园四年级的课表——结果大吃一惊！原来世界各地10岁小孩的学习经历大相径庭！“希望与恐惧”研究中心研究了美国纽约、英国伦敦、日本东京、中国香港、南非约翰内斯堡和俄罗斯莫斯科10岁小孩都在干吗，想知道？一起来看看吧！

　　1.Math

　　1、数学

　　In London, New York, and Johannasburg students are expected to understand how to solve basic equations, add, subtract, multiply, divide, and understand three dimensional objects. Schools in Moscow have integrated computer science into elementary school experiences to keep students ahead of the curve, Japanese students in Tokyo are learning to measure angles, and in Hong Kong 10-year-olds are starting to understand linear equations.

　　伦敦、纽约和约翰内斯堡的学生要学会如何解决基本的方程式，加、减、乘、除，还要了解三维物体。莫斯科的学校把计算机科学整合到小学课程中，好让学生走在前沿，在东京的日本学生要学习测量角度，而在香港，十岁的孩子们则要开始学习线性方程。

　　2.Reading And Writing

　　2、阅读和写作

　　Reading and writing curriculums vary widely in the six different represented countries, unlike math curriculums which aren't drastically different. In New York and Hong Kong, students are learning to read and write within themed language arts classes like and learning to identify with and understand characters. In London, there's more emphasis on technical aspects like vocabulary, grammar, and developing cursive.

　　阅读和写作课程在6个不同的国家中差异明显，不像数学差别不是很大。在纽约和香港，学生们要在一些主题语言艺术等课程中学习阅读和写字，还要学习识别和理解词性。在伦敦，阅读和写作课程更加注重词汇、语法和强化字体等应用技能方面。

　　3.Science

　　3、科学

　　Science curriculums in most of these cities mostly boil down to basic biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and astrology. 10-year-olds in Johannesburg also learn the importance of recycling for the environment and students in London begin to learn about basic anatomy and physiology.

　　在这些城市中，大部分城市的科学课程可以归结为基础生物学、化学、物理学、地质学和占星学几类。约翰内斯堡10岁的孩子也要意识到循环利用对环境的重要性，而伦敦的学生则要开始掌握基础解剖学和生理学。

　　4.Other Important Topics

　　4、其他重要的学科

　　Each country has important side topics emphasized in their curriculums. In the United States, it's instilling curiosity in students about current events and how to understand them. In Tokyo, there's an emphasis on foreign language, while London's emphasis is Geography. While Hong Kong doesn't focus on a brand new topic per se, Chinese curriculums tend to emphasis homework intensely and teach students why its so important for homework to be integrated with schoolwork.

　　每个国家在其课表中都设有重要的副学科。在美国，着重培养学生对时事的好奇心，教他们怎样去认清这些事。在东京，主要偏重外语，而伦敦则偏重地理。可是香港并不会每个学期都将注意力放在一个全新的课程本身，中国的课程表尤其注重家庭作业，并且教学生了解为何将家庭作业与学校作业相结合十分重要。
