    上篇讲道,罗森教授是一个热爱旅行的人,从孩提时代开始,他就一直处在迁徙之中,他从英格兰移到美国加州和纽约,然后又去了美国其他地方。他到温哥华和蒙特利尔任教过,退休后,去中国教学了一年。

 

    罗森教授多才多艺,他是一位诗人,出版过多本诗集,他演过独幕剧。他会画素描,他诗集里的插图素描画都是他去世界各地旅游时创作的。他弹得一手好钢琴,在文学和哲学上都学识渊博。

 

    罗森教授算不上是个虔诚的基督徒。他对于任何一派的宗教,都抱着尝试的心态。

    作为一位学者兼诗人,我想他更相信科学和理智。

 

    下面大家要读到的是帕特森教授的悼词最后两个段落:

 

    David spent several years living in our house; we were good friends, yet I can’t say that we were close friends or that I really knew him. If that is a failure, the fault probably lies in both of us. Another friend of David’s was Horst Richter whom some may know from his participation in David’s series here: The Critical Spirit. When horst and I talked over the phone a few hours actually after David’s death, he, after some time, compared David to a “hermit crab”. I think this was an apt analogy, in that this animal is isolated from the world by a shell which it finds and puts on to protect itself.

 

    Finally, David was a faithful participator in the group here called Science and the Search for Meaning. The first book we read was “ The mind of God” by Paul Davies from which Serge read the final paragraph. I think that David was content with the tentative faith expressed by Paul Davies, arrived at by science and reason, and I would agree with him.

 

(to be continued)

别着急,下一篇就讲技术移民申请的过程:评估打分,递交申请材料,考雅思等。我是免面试的,所以移民官面试,我就没有亲身经历,没有发言权。
