李佩_中國應(yīng)用語言學(xué)之母


1917 年 12 月,李佩生于鎮(zhèn)江的書香門第。19 歲時,她考入北京大學(xué)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)系。抗日戰(zhàn)爭期間,她在西南聯(lián)合大學(xué)求學(xué),擔(dān)任學(xué)生會副主席。1945 年,李佩因出色的組織能力和流利的英語,被選為中國婦女代表,出席了在巴黎舉行的第一屆世界婦女大會,并作大會發(fā)言。1947 年 2 月,李佩赴美國康奈爾大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。次年 2 月,李佩與西南聯(lián)合大學(xué)學(xué)長、康奈爾大學(xué)教授郭永懷結(jié)婚。

In December 1917, Li Pei was born into a scholarly family in Zhenjiang. At the age of 19, she was admitted to the Department of Economics at Peking University. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, she studied at South-West Associated University and served as the vice president of the student union. In 1945, she was selected as a representative of Chinese women to attend the First World Women’s Conference held in Paris, and delivered a speech due to her distinguished organizational skills and fluent English. In February 1947, Li Pei pursued her studies at Cornell University in the United States. In February of the following year, she married Guo Yonghuai, her upperclassman of South-West Associated University as well as a professor at Cornell University.

1951 年,李佩在康奈爾大學(xué)語言學(xué)系教授中文。雖然身在國外,李佩卻時刻心系祖國的發(fā)展。1956 年 9 月,李佩與丈夫郭永懷帶著 5 歲的女兒克服重重阻礙啟程回國。 

In 1951, Li Pei taught Chinese in the Department of Linguistics at Cornell University. Despite being abroad, Li Pei was always concerned about the development of her homeland. In September 1956, Li Pei and her husband Guo Yonghuai overcame numerous obstacles and set out to return to China with their 5-year-old daughter. 

回國之初,李佩在中國科學(xué)院西郊辦公室工作,她推動建成了中關(guān)村第一所幼兒園和第一所小學(xué)。1961 年,李佩調(diào)入中國科學(xué)技術(shù)大學(xué)外語教研室任英語教師。1968 年冬天,李佩飽受極其不公正的對待,而丈夫郭永懷為中國的核事業(yè)獻(xiàn)出生命對她更是致命的打擊。面對多舛的命運(yùn),她卻以常人難以想象的毅力、精神,繼續(xù)全身心投入祖國的教育事業(yè)。

Upon returning to China, Li Pei took up a role in an of?ce in the western suburbs of Chinese Academy of Sciences. She promoted the establishment of the first kindergarten and primary school in Zhongguancun. In 1961, Li Pei was transferred to the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Office at University of Science and Technology of China as an English teacher. In the winter of 1968, Li Pei suffered from extremely unfair treatment, and her husband Guo Yonghuai sacrificed his life for China’s nuclear industry, which was a fatal blow to her. However, in the face of adversity, she continued to devote herself wholeheartedly to China’s education with unimaginable perseverance and spirit.

1978 年 4 月,她擔(dān)任中國科學(xué)技術(shù)大學(xué)研究生院(今中國科學(xué)院大學(xué))外語教研室主任。她四處尋求英語教育人才。李佩率先主持自編教材,她編寫的第一套研究生系列教材榮獲國家優(yōu)秀圖書獎,一直被沿用至今。在與多名外籍教師的探討下,李佩根據(jù)研究生入學(xué)考試的情況,將國內(nèi)英語的教學(xué)方法進(jìn)行改革,將科學(xué)知識和外語教學(xué)相結(jié)合,她的這種教學(xué)方法,被專家稱作“開創(chuàng)了應(yīng)用語言學(xué)的先河”。針對當(dāng)時我國高校英語教育人才匱乏的情況,李佩又高瞻遠(yuǎn)矚地創(chuàng)辦了國內(nèi)首期應(yīng)用語言學(xué)專業(yè)研究生師資班。 

In April 1978, Li Pei served as the director of the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Of?ce at the Graduate School of University of Science and Technology of China. She sought English education talents everywhere. Li Pei took the lead in compiling teaching materials, and the first set of graduate series textbooks she wrote won the National Excellent Book Award and has been in use until today. Through discussions with many foreign teachers, Li Pei reformed the teaching methods of English in China based on the GRE exam, combining scientific knowledge with foreign language teaching. Her innovative teaching strategies were recognized as the pioneering work on Applied Linguistics by experts. In response to the shortage of English education talents in Chinese universities at that time, Li Pei farsightedly began the ?rst Applied Linguistics graduate teacher training program in China. 

1998 年,李佩離開了教學(xué)崗位,卻沒有放慢她奉獻(xiàn)的腳步。81 歲那年,她創(chuàng)辦“中關(guān)村大講壇”。她邀請國內(nèi)外頂尖科學(xué)家、人文藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的大家開講,所有費(fèi)用都由她個人出資補(bǔ)貼,這個論壇堅持了 600 多期,成為影響幾代人的知識圣殿。2008 年,她將自己 60 萬元的積蓄分別捐贈給了中國科學(xué)院力學(xué)研究所和中國科學(xué)技術(shù)大學(xué)。

Though she retired from teaching in 1998, Li Pei did not slow down her pace of dedicating herself to society. At the age of 81, she set up Zhongguancun Lecture Hall. She invited top scientists and experts in the humanities and arts ?elds at home and abroad to give lectures, and all expenses were subsidized by her personally. This forum persisted for more than 600 sessions and became a hall of knowledge that in?uenced several generations. In 2008, she donated her savings of 600,000 yuan to Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and University of Science and Technology of China respectively. 

晚年的李佩一直住在中關(guān)村一間小小的屋子里,她身上穿的是舊衣服,卻永遠(yuǎn)干凈整潔。頭發(fā)依舊梳得整整齊齊,一如往昔。2017 年 1 月 12 日,李佩靜靜地離開了,享年 99 歲。人們將她與郭永懷的骨灰一起合葬在中國科學(xué)院大學(xué)郭永懷雕像下。

In her later years, Li Pei lived in a small room in Zhongguancun. She wore old clothes, but they were always clean and tidy. Her hair was still neatly combed as what it used to. On January 12, 2017, Li Pei passed away peacefully at the age of 99. Her ashes were interred together with GuoYonghuai’s beneath his statue in Institute of Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Science. 

2018 年 7 月 20 日,國際小行星中心發(fā)布公告,兩顆小行星以中國人的名字命名。編號為 212797 號的小行星被永久命名為“李佩星”;編號 212796 的小行星被命名為“郭永懷星”。這對夫妻雙子星的榮譽(yù),在全世界都是獨一無二的。李佩與丈夫以星星的身份再度在太空相遇,讓世人仰望。

On July 20, 2018, the International Astronomical Union announced that two asteroids were named after Chinese names. The asteroid numbered 212797 was permanently named “Li Pei”; the asteroid numbered 212796 was named “Guo Yonghuai”. The two celestial bodies are also known as the only twin asteroids in the world that are named in honor of a married couple. Li Pei and her husband reunite again in space as stars, making the whole world look up in awe.
