本文是徐志摩1924年5月12日于北京真光剧场,在泰戈尔即将离华前所作的一次讲演。他感情充沛、陈词恳切,有所指斥又不失其优雅。他希望新文化运动中激烈对抗传统的中国年轻人们,在崇尚西方科学的同时,能够从自身古老文明中获得智慧,以正确对待新学和传统。 This article is a speech made by Xu Zhimo on May 12, 1924, at Beijing True Light Theater, just before Tagore’s departure from China. He is full of emotion, earnest and sincere, reprimanded without losing its elegance. He hoped that the young Chinese people fiercely opposing traditional traditions in the New Culture Movement will, while advocating Western science, be able to acquire wisdom from their own ancient civilization so as to correctly treat new learning and traditions.
