万树桃李几忆君 岁岁花开报师恩——追思许国璋先生

Thousands of Grateful Students in Tribute to Thee as Peach and Plumb Trees in Bloom Every Year

本文回顾了许老先生对笔者的影响。笔者在英语学习和教学的道路上一步步走来,从高中时代深受许老先生的影响决定大学选择英语专业,到大学开始步入英语学习的殿堂。四年的英语专业学习是在许老先生有关英语学习的论文指导下圆满完成的;读研和从教以后是在拜读许老学术论文的过程中逐渐了解语言教学和语言研究的。虽未与许老谋面,但在笔者心目中早已自豪地将许先生认作自己的授业恩师,故作此文以寄托对先师的追忆。
