Originally, in Lin Wenyuan's vision, this dialogue between science and literature was led by two Nobel Prize winners. Zhang Zhong is now very popular, young, and has a large audience abroad, so he is asked to accompany him, which is regarded as the right person.
A mascot.
However, in this situation, it was not particularly convenient for He Kelan to communicate with the other two people due to language problems, and the situation gradually became dominated by Zhang Zhong and Yang Fan.
Yang Fan said: "Two years ago, Mr. Fang Keyin once presented me with a painting. There was a small poem on the painting. I remember one of the lines very clearly. It was called 'True Love and Miao Enlightenment Casting Articles'. In fact, this is not only a description of
The process of creating the article also clearly shows the entire process of scientific research. You must first have true feelings. What is true feelings? It means that you have a strong interest in this thing. Only with true feelings can you work hard. Then you need enlightenment. Finally,
Only then can you get the progress you want.”
He Kelan couldn't get involved in this topic because he didn't know who Fang Keyin was. This is not to say that Fang Keyin's fame is limited to China, but if he doesn't pay attention to painting, even Chinese people generally don't.
I have heard of the name Fang Keyin.
Zhang Zhong also paid more attention to Peng Peng because he was learning to paint, so he knew who Fang Keyin was.
Furthermore, it is a bit difficult to translate Fang Keyin's sentence "True feelings and wonderful enlightenment create articles", especially the last word "article".
As all Chinese people know, the word "article" not only refers to writings in various literary styles, but also has a broad meaning, such as "knowledge", "mystery", etc.
It is very difficult to find a word in French that can replace "article".
He Kelan's translation was heard through headphones. Others did not know how to translate it. Even if they heard it, most people would not understand it.
Zhang Zhong's French is very poor. Even if he heard it, he couldn't tell how well the other party translated it. Maybe what He Kelan heard was very different from what Yang Fan wanted to express. This is the problem of translation. He Kelan himself had
Also mentioned.
He Kelan couldn't answer the question, so Zhang Zhong could only take the initiative to speak: "I also remembered two sentences, both of which are French proverbs. The first sentence is 'Question mark is the key to any science', and the second sentence is
It's 'If you want to gain scientific knowledge, you have to start with the alphabet.' I think these two sentences can be used to describe science and literature. Whether a scientist or a writer, the initial motivation comes from question marks. If a person
There is no doubt in my mind. I am afraid that neither science nor literature can be done well. If there is a question mark, there must be a foundation. Even if you are a genius, it may be difficult for you to achieve anything. Mr. Wang Yi always modestly says that he cannot read.
At most, he is considered half-illiterate. Some friends like to call him a genius. I think even a genius like Mr. Wang Yi cannot write books without being literate."
Zhang Zhong made fun of Wang Yi, which made the whole room burst into laughter.
Underneath, Zhuang Yu smiled and said to Wang Yi, "It turns out that you are deliberately showing off by saying you are illiterate every day, but I never heard it before."
Liu Yuan also said, "In ancient times, Prime Minister Zhao used half of the Analects to rule the world, but now you, Wang Yi, make a fuss about five hundred common words, which is disrespectful and disrespectful."
The idea of five hundred commonly used characters was mentioned by a scholar before. After studying Wang Yi's works, the scholar concluded that there are only five hundred Chinese characters that often appear in Wang Yi's works.
In fact, although there are many Chinese characters, there are only a few hundred common characters that novelists can use when using them. Not only Wang Yi, but others are similar.
After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, Fang Yingwu glanced at Zhang Zhong gratefully. He was actually afraid that he would neglect He Kelan and make the situation awkward. However, Zhang Zhong suddenly threw out two French proverbs, which was equivalent to throwing the topic away.
He Kelan.
At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed. He was obviously the host, but Zhang Chong did the work.
Sure enough, after listening to the translation in the earphones, He Kelan said with a smile, "I didn't expect that pz even knows our French proverbs. The Mr. Wang Yi you just mentioned reminded me of a novelist in our France. His name is
Adrian, rare words rarely appear in his novels."
Everyone here knows about Adrian, because Adrian was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature the year before last, and he is also the most famous realist writer today.
Fang Yingwu said, "Zhang Zhong mentioned the geniuses just now. I would like to ask the three of them what they think of geniuses. In everyone's eyes, the three of them must be out-and-out geniuses. I believe in geniuses.
It exists. I don’t know if you three believe it or not.”
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "In my opinion, Mr. Yang and Mr. He Kelan must be geniuses. Both of them have won the most noble crowns in their industries, which in itself is a symbol of genius."
He Kelan smiled and said, "I think that in terms of genius, Mr. Yang and pz should be more in line. People like me are just lucky."
Zhang Zhong smiled silently in his heart. In terms of luck, none of the ten He Kelans were as lucky as himself.
If it is said that all things of genius are given by God, then Zhang Zhong is an out-and-out genius. He himself has more than others.
Hearing the word genius, Yang Fan chuckled, "Actually, there are many geniuses, but most of them don't have good luck. Mr. He Kelan said that he is lucky, but in fact, no one is lucky. If he is not lucky, no matter how outstanding he is,
Geniuses will also be drowned in the crowd, and our current education is not perfect enough. In fact, up to now, no education model is perfect, so most geniuses are a little lucky, and they lack guidance to develop their interests.
people."
Yang Fan mentioned education, and Fang Yingwu followed suit, "It just so happened that Mr. Yang mentioned the matter of talent cultivation, and I would like to ask the three of you what your opinions and suggestions are on the current Chinese education system."
Hearing Fang Yingwu raise this question, Zhang Zhong narrowed his eyes but did not speak.
This time it was He Kelan who spoke first, "I actually don't know much about China's education system. Since I don't understand it, I can't give you any suggestions. I think the other two here, Mr. Yang and pz, should have some good ideas."
opinion."
Yang Fan leaned back, first looked at Fang Yingwu, then at Zhang Zhong, and said, "Let me answer this question. There is a passage in the Analects of Confucius where Zi Lu and Ran You asked Confucius the same question one after another.
, but Confucius gave them two different answers. Gong Xihua asked Confucius why this was like this, Mr. Fang Yingwu, do you know what Confucius answered at that time?"
