今年2月间,西德的巴伐利亞廣播电台在德国纪念世界文化名人海湼逝世一百周年的前夕,曾对西德的許多小学生作了一次调查。结果,几乎没有一个说得上海湼是誰。有的說他是一个“中世纪的舞蹈大师”,有的说他是一个“工会职員”,而当别人提醒說海湼是一位詩人时,才有几个恍然大悟地说:“噢——对了,他是一个犹太人。”这不能怪孩子們对自己祖国的偉大詩人一無所知。 In February of this year, on the eve of the centenary of the death of Germany’s famous cultural celebrity Heineken, West Germany’s Bavarian radio station conducted a survey on many pupils in West Germany. As a result, there is hardly any one to say who Heineken is. Some say he is a “master of medieval dance,” while others say he is a “unionist”, and when others remind him that Heinem is a poet, only a few suddenly realized: “Oh - Yes, he is a Jew. ”This can not blame the children for ignorant of the great poets in their own homeland.
