约七十年前,笔者肄业宁波北门外四明中学高中部(美国浸礼会、长老会合办)时,即听说“天一阁”之名。曾慕名而往,一人由校步行至阁,但见小径瓦砾不平,乱草丛生,乌啼高树,一片荒凉。有一七八十岁的老妪在楼梯前一风炉小灶上烧饭,正面临火灾的危险。我从楼下正厅隙缝中看到一幅楹? About 70 years ago, I heard the name of “Tianyi Pavilion” when I was working in the high school department of Siming Middle School outside Ningbo (co-organized by the American Baptists and Presbyterians). Once admired, one walked by the school to the Court, but see the path rubble uneven, messy grass, Wuti trees, desolate. The 1780-year-old man was cooking a small stove in front of the stairs and was in danger of a fire. I see from the gap in the main hall downstairs?
