王强:
Have you ever heard China Economics Society?
你听说过中国经济学会吗?
张宁:
Yes, China Economics Society, founded in 1923 and closed in 1953, was an economics research institute mainly consisting of the economists returning from USA and the high-level members from the political, scholarly, commercial and other circles and led by Ma Yinchu and Liu Dajun.
是的,中国经济学会成立于1923年,结束于1953年,是在马寅初、刘大钧主持下,以留美归国经济学者为主,集合全国政、学、商各界上层分子组成的经济学术团体
王强:
Ma Yinchu ?Is that one who wrote New Population Theory?
马寅初?是那个写新人口论的马寅初吗?
张宁:
Bingo!He is China contemporary economist ,educationist anddemographer.
答对了 !他是中国当代经济学家、教育家、人口学家。
王强:
Is he only known for New Population Theory?
他仅仅因为新人口论而出名吗?
张宁:
Of course not. MA Yin-chu is respected by the people because not only his wise views on population have been proved by the history but also his independent and righteous personality power of intellectual is attractive. An intellectual should not only be the expert in some field but be socially responsible, love his motherland, pay attention to people's livelihood, serve the society, adhere to the truth. Such a man can be a real intellectual
当然不是。 马寅初之所以受到普遍的敬意,除了他在人口问题等方面的真知灼见已被历史所证明,更是他身上体现出来的知识分子品格,那种浩然独立的人格力量。知识分子不应该只是某个领域的专家,而要承担社会责任,应该热爱祖国,关注民生,服务社会,坚持真理,这样的人,才称得上真正的知识分子。
