我常想起伊罗生,想起他的夫人姚白森。伊罗生的本名是哈罗德·R·伊萨克斯。伊罗生是三十年代在上海时,茅盾先生为他取的中国名字。姚白森是伊罗生夫人薇奥拉·R·伊萨克斯的中国名字。伊罗生夫妇于1980年访华时,我曾接待与陪同过他们,1984年姚白森再次访华,我们又见过面。认识伊罗生以后,我对他与他夫人有些了解,分别后,不时想起我们相处的日子。也有朋友向我询问伊罗生是怎样的人,现就我所知写些情况,怀念与悼念伊罗生,并告诉关心他们的人。 I often think of Illusheng, remember his wife Yao Besson. Illusheng’s real name is Harold R. Isaacs. Eros was the Chinese name that Mr. Mao Dun took for him when he was in Shanghai in the 1930s. Yao Baisen is the Chinese name of Mrs. Ilora’s wife, Viola R. Isaacs. When Irohsang and his wife visited China in 1980, I once received and accompanied them. In 1984, Yao again visited China. We met each other again. After Ilushi was acquainted, I knew him and his wife some time after time, remembering from time to time the days when we were together. Someone also asked me about what Elohim is, writing about what I know, remembering and mourning Elohim, and telling the people who care about them.
