什么是“有效维持的不平等”？为什么教育规模扩张未必缩小阶层之间的教育差距？
What is “effectively maintained inequality,” and why may the expansion of schooling fail to narrow class disparities in education?
卢卡斯提出，当教育数量扩张、升学机会普及时，优势家庭并不满足于“能上学”，而是转向争夺教育的质量维度——学术轨道、重点课程、名牌科系等更优越的位置。数量不平等刚被压缩，质性优势便接棒维持阶层地位。这解释了为何在教育接近普及的社会里，家庭出身仍然强烈地塑造着最终的学业成就。
Samuel Lucas argued that when schooling expands and enrollment rises everywhere, advantaged families do not settle for access alone; at each transition they compete instead over quality—academic tracks, selective curricula, prestigious fields of study. Once quantitative gaps close, these qualitative advantages continue to maintain their position. The idea explains why social origin still strongly shapes final attainment even in societies where mass education has become nearly universal.

根据布尔迪厄的文化资本理论，学校为何能在看似公平的考试制度下持续再生产既有的社会不平等？
According to Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital, why do schools reproduce existing social inequality even under apparently fair examination systems?
学校把统治阶层熟悉的语言风格、审美趣味和知识储备当作普遍才能来考核。优势家庭的孩子入学前已在家庭熏陶中积累这些文化资本，因而在评价中被判为有天分；弱势家庭的孩子则被判为能力不足。社会出身由此转换成官方认定的学业成就，不平等获得合法形式并实现代际传递。
Schools evaluate the language styles, tastes, and knowledge that children of the dominant classes acquire at home as if they were universal talent. Advantaged pupils therefore appear gifted in examinations while disadvantaged pupils appear incapable. Social origin is thereby converted into officially certified academic achievement, giving inequality a legitimate form and transmitting it across generations.

1966年的《科尔曼报告》为何断定学校资源的差异远不及家庭背景重要？这一结论如何改变教育政策的方向？
Why did the 1966 Coleman Report conclude that school-resource differences matter far less than family background, and how did that finding redirect education policy?
1966年科尔曼团队调查约六十万名美国学生后发现：校际经费、校舍与班级规模的差距，远不如父母受教育程度、家中藏书与语言环境等家庭背景更能解释成绩差异；同校学生的构成即同伴效应同样显著。报告由此将教育公平的关切从“投入均等”转向“结果均等”，推动补偿教育与废除种族隔离就学改革，并将家庭与社区确立为学业研究的核心变量。
In 1966, surveying roughly 600,000 American students, Coleman's team found that gaps between schools in funding, facilities, and class size explained far less achievement variation than family background—parents' schooling, books, and language at home—while the composition of schoolmates showed marked peer effects. The report therefore moved concern for equity from equalizing inputs toward equalizing outcomes, spurring compensatory programs and desegregation of schooling, and it fixed family and community as central variables in research on academic achievement.
