    “玩笑”

    顾颉刚先生说,陈立夫曾和他开过一个玩笑。陈派人问他禹的生日可考否,顾说禹之有无尚不能定,何来生日,惟羌人俗以六月六为禹诞。后陈于公开场合宣布顾颉刚考禹的生日为六月六,乃定为“工程师节”。因顾一向主张禹的传说不可靠,此言一出,即有学者指其首鼠两端。(见《我是怎样编写古史辨的》)

    读书至此,不紧感慨:现下真是舆论开放,言语自由,这类针对学者的“玩笑”再也不需要尊贵如陈立夫者来充当好事之人了。小报记者,足以骇人听闻。比如,一日,汤一介先生说:我觉得于丹这样讲论语还是有好处的。第二天,“国学大师力挺于丹”的标题就赫然报端了。

    在天文系这几年,也没少听说记者的“那些事”。反正每次他们听说有特殊天象的时候就会来采访,而且每次登报的时候都和被采访者说得不一样。以他们这样的工作方式实在也没必要真的去采访“专家”,于是后来,紫台一位负责勤务的临时工同志就作为“天文专家”出现在报纸上了。

    话说回来,如今“大师”满天飞,充一下专家又有什么稀罕呢?稀罕的是,我去参观许世友墓的时候,导游小姐反复强调:这个墓址是由“天文专家”选定的!而且口口声声说,是来自紫金山天文台的专家啊!当时我妈使劲看我,那眼神好像在问:敢情你们天文专业还培养风水先生啊,怎么没听你说过?我只好迷茫了,无语了。。。
