I was very struck when reading the Sinorama volume of interviews with distinguished sinologists, how many of them said they wanted to write things that Chinese scholars would take seriously. They want to analyze texts in the traditional Chinese way and do not just want to interpret things for a Western audience. Well I have more modest aims.
我在讀光華「世界漢學與漢學家」這本書的時候，很驚訝其中許多知名的學者都表示，他們希望寫出中國學者也能嚴肅對待的東西，希望作知識傳統重視的考證之學，而不滿足於扮演為西方觀眾傳介的角色。
