我并不奢望这类培训能够代替正规而完整的教育，能够选修上一些正规的课程是很难得的。

So the courses I took - -actually I took some English history obviously - I took no American history which would be the field I did in the PHD, but I took a lot of courses in philosophy, in literature.

所以我选了一些课程,当然我选修了英国历史-,但我没有学美国历史,因为那是我博士时的课程，但我选了很多哲学和文学方面的课程。
