二年前曾在因特网上看到一则“纪念雅各·夏汉”的会议通知。会议于一九九六年四月二十七日到五月一日在以色列耶路撒冷希伯莱大学举行。详细消息如下:“雅各·夏汉于一九九五年四月二十日因急病猝逝、享年五十二岁。他是以色列天文学的开山祖师,主要贡献是对中子星在动力与超流体方面的研究,以及对脉冲星与双子星的研究。”参予举办这次纪念活动的委员分别来自希伯莱大学、特拉维夫大学、美国伊利诺州立大学及哥伦比亚大学……最后是与会者的名岸,最后一句是:“……雅各的儿女吉尔(Gil Shaham)与欧莉(Orli Shaham)将在会中演出二重奏。”这一消息让我万分惊讶。在夏汉九五年出版的光碟片中,爸爸雅各还以他腔调张浓的英文,精神奕奕地为儿子说说几句说。虽然五十岁就已华发满头,但是雅各灿烂的笑容与吉尔十分相像,看起来是个满腹经纶且幽默感十足的知识分子。夏汉夫妇都很热爱音乐,两人经常在家中合奏小提琴和钢琴作品,影响所及,长子夏伊与女儿欧莉小小年纪就开始学钢琴,“不想和哥哥一样”的吉尔就跟着爸爸拿起小提琴。最后大哥夏伊专攻科学之路成了生物学家,吉尔与欧莉则成为职业演奏家。 Two years ago I saw on the Internet a “Notice to Jacob Harmony” meeting notice. The meeting took place from April 27 to January 1, 1996 at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. The details are as follows: “Jacob Shayhan, who died suddenly of an acute illness on April 20, 1995, died at the age of 52. He is the founder of Israeli astronomy and his main contribution is to work on neutron stars in power and ultra-fluid Research on pulsars and Gemini. ”“ The members who participated in the commemoration came from Hebrew University, Tel-Aviv University, Illinois State University and Columbia University ... and finally the participants The last sentence is: ”... Gil Shaham and Orli Shaham, Jacob’s children, will perform duets at the event.“ ”I was extremely surprised by the news. In a DVD released in the Ninth Five-year Summer of 1956, his father, Jacob, also said in his energetic tone to his son that he was still thick in English. Although Huafa was over fifty at the age of fifty, Jacob’s splendid smile resembles Jill very much, appearing to be a knowledgeable and humorous intellectual. Xia and Han couples are very fond of music, the two often play violin and piano at home, affected, eldest son Shay and her daughter Olly began to learn the piano as a young age, “do not want to be the same as my brother ” Jill follow Dad picked up the violin. Finally, Big Brother Shay specializing in science has become a biologist, Jill and Orly became a professional performer.
