2012年为《叫魂》重出版采访孔飞力,《叫魂》真是陈兼教授翻译成中文的。但是。。。可以去看我当年的访谈。
2024年《周恩来》英文版出版后,也想着去做。对陈兼老师极为尊重。但是我正准备资料的时候,发现最后一段出现三个硬伤:1 邓颖超接替邓小平,正式当选为第六届全国政协主席的时间是 1983年6月(第六届全国政协第一次会议),而不是1982年。1982年时,政协主席依然是邓小平。2 邓颖超进入中央政治局是在 1978年12月 召开的具有历史转折意义的 中共十一届三中全会 上(被增选为中央政治局委员)。1977年召开的是中共十一大,当时她只被选为中央委员,并未进入政治局。3 邓颖超生于1904年2月4日,逝世于1992年7月11日。无论是按中国传统的虚岁,还是国际通用的周岁计算:1992−1904=88。她逝世时足岁应当是 88岁(eighty-eight),书中此处写成了87岁。
再次申明,对于陈兼老师和他的学术极为尊重,仅为探讨。下面是原文最后一段:
Deng Yingchao, now Zhou’s widow, would live for another sixteen years.When Zhou was alive, she was never granted any critical party or government leadership position, although she was elected to the CCP Central Committee at three party congresses. After her husband’s passing, she entered the Politburo in 1977 and became chairperson of the National Political
Consultative Committee, a position Zhou had held for twenty- seven years, in 1982. In order to preserve her late husband’s reputation and, prob ably, cover up some of the darkest episodes of his service under Mao, she demanded that all rec ords of the 1973 “criticize Zhou” Politburo meetings be destroyed,which the party leadership accepted. She passed away in 1992, at the age of eighty- seven.
