哈佛的燕京图书馆前台有一位图书管理员,日本人,大叔,大约有五十岁出头了。英文并不怎么好,但是为人很和善,下雨天总是非常仔细地拿出图书馆的防雨塑料袋,帮忙把你要借的书仔仔细细地装起来,像礼物一样。有时候碰到英文不好的中国学生或学者有问题,他会点头哈腰地让你等一下,然后去找个说中文的同事来帮忙。 There was a librarian, Japanese, and uncle at the front desk of Harvard's Yenching Library, about fifty in the early days. English is not very good, but very kind, rainy day is always very carefully out of the library rain plastic bags, to help you borrow the book carefully and carefully packed up, like a gift. Sometimes when I have a problem with a Chinese student or scholar who has a bad English, he will nod and wait for a second before going to a colleague who speaks Chinese to help out.
