美国中西部的爱荷华城,由于女作家聂华芩和诗人保罗·安格尔组织的“国际写作计划”邀请过我国多位作家,而为我国文艺界所熟知。爱荷华大学既可说是这座小城的中心,又可说这座小城就是这所大学的校园。这座小城的居民约有六万人,而爱荷华大学的学生便占了三万,加上大学的教职员工和家属,使这座学府城居民的文化程度在美国城市中名列前茅。 The Iowa City in the Midwest in the United States has been well-known in the literary and art circles in China because of the writer’s Nie Huqin and the poet Paul Angler’s International Writing Project, which invited many writers in our country. Iowa University can be said that this is the center of the town, but also that this town is the university’s campus. The town has about 60,000 inhabitants and 30,000 students at the University of Iowa. Coupled with faculty and staff and their dependents at the University, this city boasts the best education among American cities.
