上世纪五十年代中我在台大念书,念的是外文系,但不少必修科都是由外系老师担任。其中有殷海光先生的逻辑学和台静农先生的《中国文学史》。台先生其时是中文系教授兼系主任。必修科例必人丁旺盏,百多人挤在一个课室,授课老师除非口才了得而又善用身体语言制造魅力引起注意,否则五十分钟的课转眼就在同学交头接耳间浑浑噩噩地过去。 In the 1950s, I studied at the National Taiwan University and read a foreign language department. However, many compulsory subjects are taught by foreign teachers. Among them are Mr. Yin Haiguang’s logic and Mr. Tai Jingnong’s “History of Chinese Literature.” Mr. Tai was then Professor and Head of Department of Chinese Language Department. Compulsory subjects will be Dingwangzhan, more than a hundred crowded in a classroom, teaching teacher unless eloquence and good use of body language to create charm attracted attention, or 50 minutes of an instant turn around in the students muddle through unexamined past.
