陈荣捷先生于1994年8月12日去世。此后不久,安乐哲(Roger Ames)便提议发表纪念性文字。我认为,根据陈教授的口述自传作一选录,来纪念这位杰出人物,大概再合适不过了。陈教授对自己生活的回意,更为鲜活,他对自己生活的思索,也会比由我来撰写能提供更多的内容。 Mr. Chen Rongjie died on August 12, 1994. Shortly thereafter, Roger Ames proposed the publication of memorials. In my opinion, according to Professor Chan’s oral autobiography, it is probably more appropriate to memorialize this outstanding figure. Professor Chen’s life is more vivid, his thinking about his own life, than I can write to provide more content.
