    两千多年前司马迁著《史记》,对孔子钦慕之情切切。又似有丝丝缕缕弦外之音,好像司马氏不仅找到了精神家园,还体悟到了更高境界的史家情怀。

    然而将至圣先师名为史家,古今鲜有人为。当然,孔子称得上是一位了不起的史学家,尽管他没做过一天的史官。班固《汉书·艺文志》说:“古之王者世有史官……左史记言,右史记事,事为《春秋》,言为《尚书》。”依班固言推论,《春秋》当为鲁国右史所为。而孔子年轻时做过委吏、职司吏,后任中都宰,三年骤迁大司寇摄相事,唯不见其做史官的记录。

    言史家孔子,也实不虚妄。读万卷书,孔子自不待说,孔子于周史应是详熟,行万里路孔子也是不输,少时“入太庙,每事问”,壮而适周问礼,又周游列国十四载,孔子该是家事国事天下事事事周详。其外,孔子于人物也察考洞明,当是有资格论人议事了。孔子的历史观与著述态度在今看来也十分可取,对待历史所持科学严谨的态度胜过今人。此大可辅言孔子为史家了。

    但是,以《春秋》名孔子为史家似乎也有点勉强。首先,孔子著《春秋》一事实有争议。《春秋》是鲁国史书,历来被认为是鲁国史官所为;可历代史家、学者又以为是孔子所修,《左传·成公十四年》载“君子曰:《春秋》……非圣人谁能修之”。“圣人”就定指孔子吗?所以,这里不足为明证。倒是孟子言之凿凿:“世道衰微,邪说暴行有作……孔子惧,作《春秋》。”算是敲定此事。孟子齐人,距孔子百多年,近圣人之居,史料当丰,传闻即真,况孟轲崇信求义,可信度应是很高。再有《史记·十二诸侯年表》道:“是以孔子明王道,干七十余君,莫能用,故西观周室,论史记旧闻,兴于鲁而次《春秋》。”大抵也能杜左右之口。当然也有折中的说法。两边都讨好,各方不得罪:《春秋》原为鲁国史官所写,后经孔子修订成书。虽万分稳妥,可如此一来,孔子有假他人之功的嫌疑。

    还有一个问题,《春秋》一万六千字,在今不抵一篇硕士论文的篇幅,可却微言大义,辞微旨博,一字褒贬,影响深远。于是历代解“经”传“经”之作不乏。单说用古文写就的《春秋左氏传》,其史料补充丰赡,记事因果清明,写人性格丰满,使《春秋》史纲泱泱为一部有历史律动的不朽巨作,堪称伟大。然而左丘明因《左传》称史家,而孔子有《春秋》却不称史家,这很值得深思。

    所以,言孔子为史家实不足取。孔子只是“好古”。自称“述而不作”,只阐述前人学说而不去创作;“祖述尧舜,宪章文武”,旨在缔造理想,“大同”“小康”。孔子又不只是好古,世衰道微,礼崩乐坏,孔子批判,毫不隐晦。虽“干七十余君,莫能用”以致“累累如丧家之犬”,仍卓然独立,岁寒松柏,代王立法,惩恶劝善。如此说来,称孔子为史家还真的格局太小。夫子“木铎”,不若称“春秋”孔子。

    Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

    “I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate (保守的估计).”

    At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”

    However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

    Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
