语言学家赵元任
赵元任（1892～1982）是中国江苏常州人，生于天津。他会说33种汉语方言，并精通②英语、法语、西班牙语、德语等多国语言，被称为“中国现代语言学之父”。凡是研究中国语言文学的人，几乎都读过赵元任的语言学著作。他的《中国话的文法》，在美国被认为是学习汉语语法最好的课本。
赵元任从小就表现出语言天才，各种方言一学就会。他掌握语言的能力非常惊人，能迅速掌握一种语言的声母、韵母和声调系统，并总结出使用规律。
赵元任一生最大的快乐，是到了世界任何地方，当地人都称他“老乡③”。
二战后，他到法国参加会议。在巴黎车站，他对工作人员讲巴黎的方言。对方听了，以为他是地道的巴黎人，于是说：“你回来了啊，现在可不如从前了，巴黎穷了。”
后来，他到德国柏林，用带柏林口音的德语和当地人聊天儿。邻居一位老人对他说：“上帝保佑，你躲过了这场灾难，平平安安地回来了。”
1920年，英国哲学家罗素（Russell）来中国演讲，赵元任当翻译。每到一个新地方，他都用当地的方言来翻译。他在去长沙的路上向湖南人学习长沙话，等到了长沙，已经能用长沙当地的方言翻译了。演讲结束后，竟有人跑来称呼他老乡。
赵元任说自己研究语言是为了“好玩儿”。在现代人看来，简单的一句“好玩儿”其实有很多深意。因为好玩儿不是功利主义，而是一种兴趣和爱好。
语言学是赵元任研究最深的领域，但他同时还给学生上物理课和逻辑课。赵元任也爱好音乐，写过一百多部音乐作品。
