初识美国女教授田安
今天我初识美国马里兰大学的现代文学教授田安女士。田安是精通中国古代诗词的美国女教授，本名叫Anna M. Shields。
当一位金发碧眼的美国女郎和我说地道的普通话时，我真的被震住了。田安教授的中文实在是太棒了。今天聚会的桩家是北大中文系毕业的女生。我们三个女人一台戏，今天的三人聚会，我左边坐着北大生，右边坐着哈佛生，我一下子拜了两老师，非常荣幸。
聚会后，我要去图书馆还我刚刚看完的书。为了聊天儿时有趣，我顺便让田安教授看了看这几本书。对中国文化，田安教授知古甚于今，难怪这几本书她都不熟悉。王刚自传，高敏自传，周立波字典，统统不能进入田安教授的法眼。切，这东西太俗太简单，怎么能和田安教授精通的唐宋诗词相比呢。和美国文学教授在一起，咱觉得自己太小学生了。好在田教授给咱推荐了书单，虽然都是英文的，慢慢读吧。
今晚看到了我主编的教会期刊>样本，很高兴啊，当主编的感觉很不错嘛。加之我高中时的闺蜜今天来了信，我的高兴劲就别提了。
