Carmenby Prosper MerimeeTranslated by Lady Mary LoydCHAPTER II had always suspected the geographical authorities did not know what they were talking about when they located the battlefield of Munda in the county of the Bastuli-Poeni, close to the modern Monda, some two leagues north of Marbella.According to my own surmise, founded on the text of the anonymous author of the /Bellum Hispaniense/, and on certain information culled from the excellent library owned by the Duke of Ossuna, I believed the site of the memorable struggle in which Caesar played double or quits, once and for all, with the champions of the Republic, should be sought in the neighbourhood of Montilla.Happening to be in Andalusia during the autumn of 1830, I made a somewhat lengthy excursion, wi...
古典爱情一柳生赴京赶考，行走在一条黄色大道上。他身穿一件青色布衣，下截打着密褶，头戴一顶褪色小帽，腰束一条青丝织带。恍若一棵暗翠的树木行走在黄色大道上。此刻正是阳春时节，极目望去，一处是桃柳争妍，一处是桑麻遍野。竹篱茅舍四散开去，错落有致遥遥相望。丽日悬高空，万道金光如丝在织机上，齐刷刷奔下来。柳生在道上行走了半日，其间只遇上两个衙门当差气昂昂擦肩而过，几个武生模样的人扬鞭摧马急驰而去，马蹄扬起的尘土遮住了前面的景致，柳生眼前一片纷纷扬扬的混乱。此后再不曾在道上遇上往来之人。数日前，柳生背井离乡初次踏上这条黄色大道时，内心便涌起无数凄凉。他在走出茅舍之后，母亲布机上的沉重声响一直追赶着他，他脊背上一阵阵如灼伤般疼痛，于是父亲临终的眼神便栩栩如生地看着自己了。为了光耀祖宗，他踏上了黄色大道。姹紫嫣红的春天景色...

色已成空 作者：曼倩天涯凡所有相，皆是虚妄。若见诸相非相，则见如来。-金刚经第一卷 缘起绿杨影里惊初见 初三开学那一天，恰好是林之若十四岁的生日。 林之若缓缓走进校门。九月的骄阳，仍然毒热。她却穿了一件长袖的棉衬衫，外面又罩了一件薄外套。出门的时候，妈妈一再让她换一件短袖衫，却被她沉默而固执的拒绝了。妈妈无可奈何，叹道：“这孩子，怎么这么古怪！” 林之若微微苦笑，为着那个说不出口的理由。 十四岁，是一个多么尴尬的年龄。一个暑假过去，胸脯就微微的鼓了起来，硬硬的似乎肿块，一碰就酸痛。为了掩盖身体的这份异样，整个夏天，她都把自己裹在厚棉布衬衣里，躲在家里，反覆读着爸爸书架上的陈列品，尽管那些都是让人望而却步的砖头一样的哲学和历史著作。 第一天开学，一切都乱糟糟的。学校的传统，每一级开学，都要把原来的班级打散重分，然后由老师们拈阄选择，以求公平...

六、生活的忧郁 “他走路的时候，忧郁仿佛马上就会从他身上抖落下来一样。”赫尔顿用这幅奇妙的图画描绘了林肯的情绪。这不正是林肯的生母常有的心态吗？母亲的早逝，她不明不白的身世，父亲的不安分，缺少故乡的感觉，过去的一系列失败，对女人的渴望和对她们的恐惧，心灵的梦幻生活，一觉醒来像被逐出了天堂的感觉以及与生俱来的忧伤，都仿佛在向世人提出这样一个问题：忧郁为什么没有使林肯仇视别人？ 在流动法庭里，斯图尔特这样向别人介绍林肯说：“我曾在酒吧的一角看见过他：远离所有人，心不在焉，心情忧伤。他仿佛正在思考着一个痛苦的主题，系统地考虑着问题的不同侧面，他的面孔时常表现出他内心深深的苦恼。直到法庭彻底休庭，他的紧张才会被转移。而后他才从他痛苦的深渊里走出来，仿佛大梦初醒一样。”另一个室友则看到他天还没亮就坐了起来，“他自言自语地狂热地嘟嚷着什么；陌生人看到他准会以...

《无限恐怖之雨夜独行》作者：黄天律·调教师第一章 我现在的名字是乔纳森·格蒂曼，为军方工作已经有十年。职业是科学家。为什么说是「现在的名字」？因为我是个穿越者。目前的身体虽然已经超过五十岁，但是在这个科技发达的年代，人类寿命被大大延长，我应该只算是刚刚进入壮年。穿越后的我融合了这个身体的全部记忆。开始的时候我以为来到了未来世界，但是随着安全级别的提升，我从军方那里了解到了一些内幕。目前的军部正在策划克隆一名两百年多前的人物，艾伦·蕾普莉。刚刚接触这个名字的时候我并没有在意，但是『伟伦优达尼公司』引起了我的兴趣。在详细了解了她的资料后，我赫然发现她竟是异形四部曲的女主角。同时，我回忆起了「我」的身份——异形四中七名科学家中的一员。我震惊的表情并没有让其他人过于在意，因为我未来六名同事知道了真相后的反映也和我如出一辙。原电影中的情节我还记得清清楚楚，那么如何自保估计...
