摘要
本篇为法国白乐桑教授访谈的上半部分。在这部分访谈中，白乐桑教授谈论了他本人学习汉语的经历与主要动机、汉语区别于其他语言的独特性、翻译当中存在的“不可译”问题、汉语教学“二元论”的提出、编写《汉语语言文字启蒙》这套教材的初衷及主要的教学理念。白乐桑教授的主要观点包括：（1）对于西方学习者而言，中文是“月球语言”，其“远距”性是最大的内在学习动机；（2）“中文难学”这一说法忽略了学习者个人的认知能力和动机；（3）学习中文和哲学的共性在于“元好奇心”；（4）汉语教学初级阶段最需要关注其独特性，做到“字词兼顾”，中高级更多走向词本位；（5）汉语第二语言教学应该被视为第二文字语言教学；（6）语言学的宗旨是语言描述和分析，外语教育的宗旨是转化；（7）要以学习者为中心，考虑学习汉字跟记忆力之间的关系；（8）中西方文明结合起来才是整体。

Abstract
This article is the first half of the interview with Professor Joël Bellassen. In this part of the interview, Professor Joël Bellassen talked about why and how he himself learned Chinese, the distinctiveness of Chinese language from other languages, the "untranslatability" in translation, the proposal of "dualism" in Chinese teaching, the original purpose to compose the textbook "Enlightenment of Chinese Language and Characters" and the teaching philosophy behind it. His main views are as follows: (1) For Western learners, Chinese is "the language of the Moon", and its "distance" is the greatest intrinsic motivation for learning; (2) The statement "Chinese is difficult to learn" ignores the individual cognitive ability and motivation of the learner; (3) Learning Chinese and philosophy shares similar "meta-curiosity"; (4) In the primary stage of Chinese teaching, the uniqueness of the language should be prioritized so that learners would "take both words and characters into consideration". The higher level learners reach in learning Chinese, the more wordbased methods should be used in teaching them; (5) Teaching Chinese as a second language should be regarded as teaching a second written language; (6) The purpose of linguistics is language description and analysis, and the purpose of foreign language teaching is transformation; (7) In teaching Chinese, one should center on learners and always put in consideration the relationship between learning Chinese characters and memory; (8) The integration of Chinese and Western civilizations makes a whole.
