一个风光明媚的星期天下午,我们来到了北京外国语学院顾问柯鲁克和伊莎白夫妇家里。房间里堆放着许多书报杂志,两架手提打字机敞开着放在桌上。盥洗室的门上贴着“随手关灯”的纸条。三十多年了,这对夫妇孜孜兀兀,诲人不倦,为培养我国外语人才而辛勤地劳动。他们的学生遍及全国各地,活跃在外交、新闻、财贸和教育等各条战线上。凡接触过他们的人,对他们在教育方面的贡献无不交口赞扬。但是他们还有另一方面的贡献,却是较少有人知道的。原来他们不但是卓越的教师,而且还是刻苦和认真的记者和作家呢。多年来,他们不但写短文而且写作了三部介绍中国革命和建设的长篇著作:《一个中国村落的革命》、《十里店》和《阳邑人民公社》。 A beautiful Sunday afternoon, we came to the Beijing Foreign Studies University consultants Ke Luoke and Isabelle couple home. There were many books and magazines in the room, and two hand-held typewriters were left open on the table. On the door of the bathroom, there was a note of “Turn off the light”. For more than thirty years, the couple worked diligently to train their foreign language talents. Their students are spread all over the country and are active in all fronts, including diplomacy, information, trade and education, and education. Those who have come into contact with them praise their contribution to education. But they still have another contribution, but it is less known. They were not only excellent teachers, but also hard-working and serious journalists and writers. Over the years, they wrote not only short essays but also three long books devoted to the revolution and construction in China: “The Revolution of a Chinese Villages,” “Shili Shop” and “Yangyi People’s Commune.”
