初識美國女教授田安

初識美國女教授田安

 

今天我初識美國馬裏蘭大學的現代文學教授田安女士。田安是精通中國古代詩詞的美國女教授，本名叫Anna M. Shields。

 

當一位金發碧眼的美國女郎和我說地道的普通話時，我真的被震住了。田安教授的中文實在是太棒了。今天聚會的樁家是北大中文係畢業的女生。我們三個女人一台戲，今天的三人聚會，我左邊坐著北大生，右邊坐著哈佛生，我一下子拜了兩老師，非常榮幸。

 

聚會後，我要去圖書館還我剛剛看完的書。為了聊天兒時有趣，我順便讓田安教授看了看這幾本書。對中國文化，田安教授知古甚於今，難怪這幾本書她都不熟悉。王剛自傳，高敏自傳，周立波字典，統統不能進入田安教授的法眼。切，這東西太俗太簡單，怎麽能和田安教授精通的唐宋詩詞相比呢。和美國文學教授在一起，咱覺得自己太小學生了。好在田教授給咱推薦了書單，雖然都是英文的，慢慢讀吧。

 

今晚看到了我主編的教會期刊<<同聲>>樣本，很高興啊，當主編的感覺很不錯嘛。加之我高中時的閨蜜今天來了信，我的高興勁就別提了。
