不须读出的“一”

古钱文字的释读,往往有一个渐趋合理的过程。 先秦圜钱中有一品种,一般认为是秦国所铸。旧读“重一两十二铢”、“重一两十四铢”（图1、2）,然而有两个问题。一是“二”、“四”与“珠”之间均有一横画,读为“一”则不可通,于是只好跳过不读：二是即使假设其为砝码．形制上固然奇怪,实物的重量亦似出入不定。     

From Academic Nitpicking to a =New Culture Movement＇： How Newspapers Turned Academic Debates into the Center of ~May Fourth＂

Abstract In early 1919, people like Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu were regarded as members of an ivory-tower ＂academic faction＂ （xuepai）, embroiled in a debate with an opposing ＂faction.＂ After the May Fourth demonstrations, they were praised as the stars of a ＂New Culture Movement.＂ However, it was not obvious how the circle around Hu Shi and Chert Duxiu was associated with the May Fourth demonstrations. This link hinged on the way in which newspapers like Shenbao reported about the academic debates and the political events of May Fourth. After compartmentalizing the debating academics into fixed xuepai, Shenbao ascribed warlord-political allegiances to them. These made the Hu-Chen circle look like government victims and their ＂factional＂ rivals like the warlords＇ allies. When the atmosphere became hostile to the government during May Fourth, Hu Shi＇s ＂faction＂ became associated with the equally victimized May Fourth demonstrators. Their ideas were regarded as （now popular） expressions of anti-government sentiment, and soon this was labeled the core of the ＂New Culture Movement.＂ The idea and rhetoric of China＇s ＂New Culture Movement＂ in this way emerged out of the fortuitous concatenation of academic debates, newspaper stories, and political events.

我是怎样成为“右派”的

1957年北师大由陈垣校长亲自主持评议新增教授人选。我在辅仁和师大干了这么多年,又是陈校长亲自提拔上来的,现在又由陈校长亲自主持会议,大家看着陈校长的面子也会投我一票。那天散会后我在路上遇到了音乐系的钢琴教授老志诚先生,他主动和我打招呼：“祝贺你,百分之百地通过,赞成你任教授。”我当然很高兴,但好景不长,教授的位置还没坐热,就赶上反右斗争,我被划为右派,教授也被黜免,落一个降级使用,继续当我的副教授,工资也降了级。说起我这个右派,还有些特殊之处。
