本刊第5、9、15期先后刊载了于冈、吴若峰和丁武丁三位同志探讨外交官素质的文章,这是非常有意义的,我也不禁想对此谈谈自己的浅见。吴文是于文的补充。而丁文认为,于、吴二文指出的各条素质虽然是外交官所必需的,但尚不是外交官的“本质素质”。丁文指出,于,吴两文列举的各条素质犹如“金字塔的塔基”,而应变能力和口才方是“最能代表金字塔高度和光彩”的“本质素质”或“本质特征”;只有这两条才最能体现外交官的“个性”。诚然,外交采用的是和平手段,外交斗争打的常是“唇枪舌战”,一个外交官如果没有一定的应变能力和口才就打不赢这样的“唇枪舌战”。所以丁文的论点是有道理的和应当重视的,文中“塔基”和“塔尖”的譬 The 5th, 9th, and 15th issues of this issue have published articles on the quality of diplomats by Yu Gang, Wu Ruofeng, and Ding Wuding. This is very meaningful, and I can’t help thinking about my own opinions. Wu Wen is a supplement to Yu Wen. Ding Wen believes that the various qualities pointed out by Yu and Wu, although necessary for diplomats, are not yet the “essential qualities” of diplomats. Ding Wen pointed out that Yu and Wen listed the various qualities as “the base of the pyramid”, while the ability to adapt and the eloquence are the “essential qualities” or “essential characteristics” that best represent the height and luster of the pyramid; only These two best reflect the “personality” of diplomats. It is true that diplomacy adopts the means of peace. Diplomatic struggle is often a “fighting war”. If a diplomat does not have a certain degree of resilience and eloquence, he will not win such a “fight.” Therefore, Ding Wen’s arguments are justified and should be emphasized.
