我們痛切地感到目前的少年兒童讀物的貧乏。我觉得,在有些作家們的心目中,似乎隱隱約約流傳着一种思想,这就是:他們把創作分成好幾等,要是給少年兒童寫作,大概總是要被列入第三、四等。虽然这种分等法並沒有誰开过会公議过,也没有見諸於文字,可是不庸諱言,諸如此類的看法是確实存在的。無疑地,这种看法在某种程度上是阻碍我國兒童文学繁荣和發展的一个原因。 We are sadly feeling the current paucity of children’s books. I think there seems to be some vague thoughts circulating in the minds of some writers. That is: They divide their works into several categories. If they write for children and teenagers, they will probably always be listed in third, fourth, etc. Although no such sub-division has ever been openly discussed or written, it is undeniable that such views do exist. Undoubtedly, this view is to some extent a hindrance to the prosperity and development of our children’s literature.
