在现代汉语词典中,“进步”绝对是一个铁定的褒义词。别人不说,我自己从上小学到读大学乃至参加工作若干年后,关键时刻的自我鉴定上总少不了一句“要求进步”。在我们一些权威的文学史教科书中,“进步”与否也往往成为衡量一位作家、一部作品高下优劣的首要条件。“进步”在我们心目中成了一条不证自明的真理。 In modern Chinese dictionaries, “progress” is definitely an ironclad compliment. Someone else does not say that since I went to primary school and even college to work for several years, I always need to make self-identification at the critical moment. In some of our authoritative literary history textbooks, “progress” or not is often the first measure of the superiority and inferiority of a writer and a work. “Progress ” has become a self-evident truth in our mind.
