以下为三思科学杂志编辑部给Ann Druyan的信·英文版:
November 9, 2001
Dear Mrs. Ann Druyan,
We are a small group of people that are trying to promote science in China via Internet in our off hours. We've established a non-profit website and a (maybe the only in Chinese) monthly online magazine of popular science. As computer programmer, biochemistry teacher, surgeon, university student and science reporter, every of us were set to the path of public science communication by Mr. Carl Sagan.
As a few of 1.3 billion Chinese, we are highly proud of our motherland. But we also deeply regret negative sides and defects of the great Chinese culture. Just like Mr. Sagan had described in his great works The Demon-Haunted World, specters of pseudo-science, anti-science, superstition and other confusions are still haunting the country that has a history of 5,000 years, just when we're writing to you now. Minds of the youth are been poisoned. Frauds of pseudo-science are making big money from the public.
Modest and quiet are regarded as traditional merits of Chinese. But we are young. We are educated. We know what's happening. We can't keep silence when our people are cheated, especially after reading Mr. Sagan's great works. Although the great works (Sorry, I have to use the phrase again and again) TV series Cosmos has not been shown in China yet, we've got Chinese version of Cosmos (the book), The Demon-Haunted World, The Dragons of Eden, Pale Blue Dot, etc. We're deeply moved by beauty of science and concern for the future of humankind that Mr. Sagan had revealed. Adhering to our website and magazine is not easy. It's the greatness of Mr. Sagan that inspired us.
We believe that the great works of Mr. Sagan are as - maybe even more - beneficial and important to the Chinese people as to the American people. In order to show our respect and admiration, and to attract more Chinese to the works of Mr. Sagan, we're planning a special edition of our online magazine. To be released on December 20, it will focus on Mr. Sagan's life, works and achievements. If you could kindly give us a little encouragement, it would be extremely valuable and inspiring for us. We believe that it would also be an evidence of the friendship between the American people and the Chinese people.
We're sending you a compact disc recorded with one of the best pieces of Chinese music, The Butterfly Lovers (Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai). Hope you would enjoy it. We all wish you good health and happiness.
Sincerely yours Editors of MyScience Online Magazine
