对青少年朋友来说,“资中筠”这个名字可能有点陌生。她是我十分尊敬的一位老人、一位学者,1930年6月出生,1951年清华大学西方语文系毕业,曾任中国社会科学院美国研究所研究员,博士生导师,学术专长为国际政治、美国研究。退休后,她笔耕不辍,将一生所思所感沉淀下来,写下了大量闪烁着知识分子理性探索之光的文章。在这篇文章里,她向我们分享了自己在民国时期学习中文的经历,其中种种,对我们现在学习中文仍有很大的借鉴意义。 For young friends, the name “Zi Zhong Yun” may be a bit unfamiliar. She is an elderly person and a scholar whom I respect very much. She was born in June 1930 and graduated from Western Language Department of Tsinghua University in 1951. She was a researcher and doctoral tutor at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Her academic expertise is international politics, the study. After retiring, she worked hard to settle down and wrote down a great deal of articles flashing the intellectual explorations of intellectuals. In this article, she shared with us the experience of learning Chinese during the Republican period. All of these still provide us a great reference for learning Chinese now.
