学生、文学爱好者、闻讯赶来的记者挤满了北京民族大学的一间教室,当看到满头白发的教授提着自行车头盔走进来,人们发出一阵低低的议论声。讲座很快切入正题,听众随着教授的旁征博引渐入佳境。忽然,教授对提到的某个汉字的四声有些疑惑,他随即从包里拿出汉语字典查证,教室里安静极了,只听见讲台上翻动书页的声音。 Students, literary enthusiasts, journalists rushed to the newsroom packed with a classroom at Beijing University for Nationalities. When they saw a white-haired professor bringing a bicycle helmet into the room, people made a low voice. The lecture quickly cut to the point where the audience got better with the professions. Suddenly, some doubts were made by the professor about the four Chinese characters mentioned. He immediately took out the Chinese dictionary from the bag and verified that the classroom was quiet and only heard the sound of turning the page on the podium.
