记得文化大革命前,报刊上出现过一些署名“×××讲”、“×××口述”的文章。近十多年来,这类“口述”文章很少见了。给报刊投稿,不仅仅是有文化和会写文章的人的事,没有文化和不会写文章的人也可以投稿。这些人虽然不会写,但是会讲,他们脑子里装着不少值得见报的好东西。我觉得,作为报刊编辑部的编辑和记者,应当主动去采访,向他们约稿,把他们的“口述”内容,请人或由自己记录下来,加以整理,发表。那些愿意投“口述”稿的同志,也不妨经常请人记录整理自己的“口述”稿,或者主动去报刊编辑部“口述”自己的文章。如果真能做到这一点,那么,报刊的读者和作者肯定会大大增多。我认为,报刊登载一些“口述”文章,实在有提倡的必要,不知办报刊的同志以为然否? I remember before the Cultural Revolution, there were some articles that appeared in the press entitled “XXXXXX” and “XXXX Oral Remarks.” For more than a decade, such “oral” articles have been rare. Submission to the press is not only about people who have a culture and who can write essays, but also people who have no culture and can not write essays. Although these people will not write, but they will say that there are many worthy of good things in their minds. In my opinion, editors and reporters as editorial staff of newspapers and periodicals should take the initiative to interview and draft proposals to them. They should invite people to record their oral contents and collate them and publish them. Those who are willing to vote for “oral” manuscripts may as well often ask people to record and organize their own “oral” manuscripts or take the initiative to go to the newspaper editorial department to “dictate” their own articles. If you can really do that, there will surely be a tremendous increase in readers and authors. I think it is really necessary to advocate the publication of some “oral” articles in the newspapers and magazines.
