This argument is far from original; lambasting public schools for tormenting their inmatesand ruining the country is one of Britain's oldest traditions. (In England and Wales private schools are confusingly known as "public schools"; they themselves prefer "independent schools". )

• lambast 猛烈批评；抨击

• torment （尤指精神上）折磨，使痛苦

• inmate （监狱中的）囚犯

Thomas Macaulay, a Victorian historian and politician, avoided them after a family friend told his mother that "throwing boys headlong into those great public schools always puts me in mind of the practice of the Scythian mothers, who threw their new-born infants into the river." In the 20th century Evelyn Waugh quipped that "anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison."

• rush/plunge headlong into sth 轻率（仓促）地做某事

• puts sb in mind of sth 使某人想起某事

• practice 行为

• quip 说俏皮话

• feel at home 舒服自在；不拘束

Goronwy Rees, a journalist, wrote of the public-school boys he encountered at Oxford that they "were all well-taught at school and what they understood they understood very well; what they did not understand included almost everything which would change the world in their lifetime". Two of the best books about the classic public school (both by T. C. Worsley, a former schoolmaster) are entitled "Barbarians and Philistines" and "Flannelled Fool".

• write of 把……当作题材

• well-taught 有教养的；受过良好教育的

• what they understood they understood very well 这里把”what they understood”这个宾语从句进行了前置以示强调
