获悉胡双宝先生的《简化字繁体字异体字辨析手册》已由北京大学出版社出版,我非常高兴。由于对汉字规范化问题的关心,我对此当然十分重视。在通读全书之后,忍不住要说几句感想。首先,我觉得这是一部切合时宜的书。二十多年前,有一个工农兵学员曾问我,“後”字念什么,当什么讲。我当时很吃惊,没想到一个大学生竟然连这个常用字都不认识。后来一想,其实并不奇怪。他们是五十年代出生,六十年代上学,学的都是简化字。如果他从来没有见过 I was very pleased to learn that Mr. Hu Shuobao’s Handbook for Discrimination of Simplified and Traditional Chinese Characters has been published by Peking University Press. Due to the concern for the standardization of Chinese characters, I attach great importance to this. After reading through the book, can not help but want to say a few words. First of all, I think this is a timely and appropriate book. Twenty years ago, a worker, peasant and soldier trainee once asked me what to say and what to say. I was very surprised, did not even think of a college student do not even know the commonly used words. Later thought, in fact, not surprising. They were born in the 1950s, went to school in the 1960s, and learned simplified words. If he has never seen it before
