| By 贝小戎 读品走私 Mary Beard在博客上说 this year's Reith Lectures: Jonathan Spence on Chinese Confucianism. I've obviously not been concentrating as much as I should on to these lectures for the last decade or so, because I was surprised to find that the 'lecture' itself amounted to a little less than 20 minutes. The rest of the 45 minute slot was 20 minutes of 'question and answer' with the studio audience and 5 minutes of polite fluff from Sue Lawley http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_55c1106b01009rbq.html For the 60th anniversary season of the BBC's Reith Lectures, Professor Jonathan Spence shares his visions of China - and what this might tell us about the future. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/reith/reith_2008announcement.shtml http://open2.net/reith2008/index.html http://habib.blogbus.com/logs/23233446.html "在这四节演讲中，我将从悠长的中国历史不同侧面展开，每个方面都有一个不一样故事。今天，第一节演讲中，我们将看到三种不同的孔子：孔子其人、孔子为师、孔子"不常有之恶"。第二节演讲中，我们通过三百年来的中英贸易和语言来关注中国和英国之间的关系。第三节，我们来研究被中国又爱又恨的美国梦。而第四节，也是最后一节中，我们将通过从早期到现在，中国人身体机能的改变，来为即将到来的奥运会做些准备。 "瑞斯讲座从1948年到现在已经过了60年了，我注意到瑞斯讲座的第一期正是由伯特兰•罗素主讲的。罗素曾在中国生活过半年，从1920年下半年到1921年。罗素赶上了好时候，那时的中国处于一个之前和至今都没有再出现过的时代——一个全世界的知识分子都纷至沓来的时代。"
