People appear to born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impress accuracy---one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of nothing that they have placed five knives, spoons and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.

Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on

猜想哦:

我觉得是"突然遇上"那些概念吧.
因为全文似乎是在讲孩子们对于数学的习得过程.也讲到一个从"一把餐刀,一把勺子..."等等具体的东西,渐渐过度到抽象的数字概念,加,减等概念.
"...they slowly grasped-----or, as the case might be, bumped into-----concepts..." 说明一般的过程是渐进的,但习得过程中,也有可能会突然碰到抽象的概念,一下子跳跃到抽象的数学概念的。

突然有某种想法的意思把??
