He was of a fat habit,even from boyhood, and inclined to a cheerful and cursoryreading of the face of life; and possibly this attitude ofmind was the original cause of his misfortunes. Beyond thishint philosophy is silent on his career, and superstitionsteps in with the more ready explanation that he was detested...
A DREAM OF JOHN BALLA DREAM OF JOHNBALLBy William Morris1- Page 2-A DREAM OF JOHN BALLCHAPTER ITHE MEN OF KENTSometimes I am rewarded for fretting myself so much about presentmatters by a quite unasked-for pleasant dream. I mean when I am asleep.This dream is as it were a present of an architectural peep-show. I seesome beautiful and noble building new made, as it were for the occasion,as clearly as if I were awake; not vaguely or absurdly, as often happens in...
如果坐飞机，由纽约曼哈顿往东飞，过了“东河”，飞越广袤平坦的皇后区，看到世界博览会旧址的草原公园（MeadowPark），再掠过爱丽塘（AllyPond）的一片湿地，才离开纽约市的边界，就会看见一个高起的山头。山不过几百英尺，朝北呈阶梯似地一坡一坡下降，伸向“大颈区”（GreatNeck）外的海湾；向南先有个较大的落差，再平平滑滑地延伸向远处的大西洋；向东则是长岛，那个由阿帕拉契山脉（Appalachians）冲积出来的香肠型半岛。山头上长满了树，像是一片丛林，但是掠过树梢，可以看见心型的一抹蓝，正好被四周的小山坡围绕着，这抹蓝、这片不过三十英亩的水，就是莱克瑟丝湖（L-akeSuccess）。据地质学家研究，十五万年前的冰河时期，这个山头远比今天为高，可能还相当陡峭。那时地球的气候寒冷，从北极、加拿大，一路下来都是冰天雪地，终年不融。厚达千尺的白雪一层压一层，变成冰。再由于地心引力，高处的冰逐渐往低处移动，成为...
SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSEby Sir Arthur Conan DoyleIt was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London wasinterested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of theHonourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicablecircumstances. The public has already learned those particulars of thecrime which came out in the police investigation, but a good dealwas suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for theprosecution was so overwhelmingly strong that it was not necessaryto bring forward all the facts. Only now, at the end of nearly tenyears, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up thewhole of that remarkable chain. The crime was of interest in itself,...
A Ramble Among the Hills.I USED frequently to amuse myself towards the close of the day, whenthe heat had subsided, with taking long rambles about theneighboring hills and the deep umbrageous valleys, accompanied by myhistoriographic squire, Mateo, to whose passion for gossiping I onsuch occasions gave the most unbounded license; and there was scarce arock, or ruin, or broken fountain, or lonely glen, about which hehad not some marvellous story; or, above all, some golden legend;for never was poor devil so munificent in dispensing hidden treasures.In the course of one of these strolls Mateo was more than usuallycommunicative. It was toward sunset that we sallied forth from thegreat Gate of Justice, and ascended an alley of trees until we came to...

如果我问你：月亮上最美的女人是谁？你一定会这样回答我：白痴，这还用问吗？当然是嫦娥姐姐。难道你没有看见吗？猪八戒大哥想她想得都快要成花痴了，连做梦都在流口水。但是，朋友，我告诉你，你错了。在公元二千五百年以前，嫦娥的确是月亮上最美的女人，但是在公元二千五百年以后，月亮上最美的女人就不再是嫦娥姐姐了。一来是因为岁月不饶人，嫦娥姐姐虽然保养得蛮好，天天跳健美操，美容院也去得勤，但毕竟已经是几千几百岁的人了，鱼尾纹已经悄悄地爬上了眼角，“青春”已经跟她说再见，就快要离她而去了。公元二千五百年的时候，嫦娥姐姐已经变成一个半老徐娘。二来呢，正所谓长江后浪推前浪，一代新人胜旧人，月球上新一代美眉们在整体素质上与嫦娥姐姐那一代老美眉相比有了一个明显的提高，无论从质量上还是从数量上来说，都完全地超越了前辈。新一代的美眉们是时尚的、前卫的，浑身洋溢着青春活力。冷月儿就是新一代美眉...

●名家荐语一个艺术家能够给人提供什么呢？他不是教师因而不能给人什么教导。他不是领袖所以未必能给人指引一条光明或安全的道路。他其实也不是灵魂工程师做不来总为别人以至自己脱胎换骨的事。他们是以正规角度看这世界而看腻了的人，并且天真地以为别人可能也不大耐烦，所以为公为私就去找些新鲜的角度看这世界。我想，李清明的文字也在寻找这样的角度。——著名作家 史铁生《微雨独行》 序《微雨独行》 内容简介●内容简介这是一个平凡人写下的篇章，他将唤起我们内心的那一份感动。他内心所体验到的现实，是文字的现实，也是心灵的现实。这是他的人生实践和人生行动的记录。他的思想心得是来自行动中的体悟，有一种真实感人的力量。他说：“你要生活得随意些，你就只能活得平凡些；你要活得辉煌些，你就只能活得痛苦和复杂些；你要活得长久些，你就只能活得简单些。”...
无忌根本没有师妹，一直都猜不出谁会冒充他的师妹。现在他知道了。连一莲和他这个穿红裙的师妹进院子时，他笑了，笑得很愉快，好像自己能够有这么样一个师妹是非常愉快的事。她们就是从梧桐树下那个窗口掠过来的，连一莲在前，穿红裙的姑娘在后，两人的身子还没有落地，就有股劲风迎面卷来。一个人用嘶哑干裂的声音，轻叱道：“出……”她们都没有出去。连一莲凌空翻身，整个人已像壁虎般贴在墙上。穿红裙的姑娘本来好像已被震出窗外，脚尖忽然在窗框上一勾，又轻飘飘地飞了进来。风声犹劲，一直背对着窗口的白衣人，宽大的衣袖仍在猎猎飞舞。穿红裙的姑娘娇笑道：“好厉害的气功。”连一莲道：“只可惜他练的不是大气功，是小气功。”穿红裙的姑娘道：“气功也有分大小的？”连一莲道：“如果他练的不是小气功，怎么会这么小气？多两个人吃饭，多摆两双筷子，也没什么了不起，如果他不是小气，为什么一定要把我们赶出去？”...
译本序但到了五十年代，在香港却有过一本稍稍修订了它的译文的，署名吴明实（无名氏）的盗印本，还一再再版，再版达六版之多。他的一生是如此之简单而馥郁，又如此之孤独而芬芳。也可以说，他的一生十分不简单，也毫不孤独。他的读者将会发现，他的精神生活十分丰富，而且是精美绝伦，世上罕见，和他交往的人不多，而神交的人可就多得多了。他对自己的出生地，即马省的康城，深感自豪。康城是爆发了美国独立战争的首义之城。他说过，永远使他惊喜的是他“出生于全世界最可尊敬的地点”之一，而且“时间也正好合适”，适逢美国知识界应运而生的、最活跃的年代。在美洲大陆上，最早的欧洲移民曾居住的“新英格兰”六州，正是美国文化的发祥之地。而正是在马省的康城，点燃起来了美国精神生活的辉耀火炬。小小的康城，风光如画。一下子，那里出现了四位大作家：爱默生，霍桑，阿尔考特, 和他，梭罗。1834年，爱默生定居于康城，曾到哈...
近年来，有关曾国藩的图书的出版成为文化界的一个热点。大到全集、全书，小到传记、逸闻，林林总总，不一而足。社会上也掀起了“曾国藩热”，由学界，而军界，而政界，而商界，彼此呼应，波澜壮阔；上至政坛领袖、各级干部，下至普通读者、平民百姓，对“曾国藩”或读之，或研之，或习之，或用之，竞相求证，蔚为大观。曾国藩生活的晚清社会，旧秩序行将崩溃，而社会前进的方向茫无头绪。国内，太平天国义旗一举，应者云集，烽火燃遍十余省，清王朝顿失半壁江山。国外，列强环伺，极尽威迫讹诈之能事，处处侵夺中国主权和领土。可谓内忧外患，百弊丛生。而曾国藩以一介儒生，无权的在籍侍郎，崛起于湘楚之间，纵横捭阖，以残酷的手段镇压了太平天国运动，成为清朝“中兴第一名臣”。不仅如此，他的崛起还极大地改变了近代中国的权力格局，并在政治、经济、军事、社会思想等方面影响了中国社会的走向。虽然后人对他有“毁之则为元凶...
The Last of the Plainsmenby Zane GreyPREFATORY NOTEBuffalo Jones needs no introduction to American sportsmen, but to these of my readers who are unacquainted with him a few words may not be amiss.He was born sixty-two years ago on the Illinois prairie, and he has devoted practically all of his life to the pursuit of wild animals. It has been a pursuit which owed its unflagging energy and indomitable purpose to a singular passion, almost an obsession, to capture alive, not to kill. He has caught and broken the will of every well-known wild beast native to western North America. Killing was repulsive to him. He even disliked the sight of a sporting rifle, though for years necessity compelled him to earn his livelihood by supplying the meat of buffalo to the caravan...
Chapter IX of Volume II (Chap. 32)ELIZABETH was sitting by herself the next morning, and writing to Jane, while Mrs. Collins and Maria were gone on business into the village, when she was startled by a ring at the door, the certain signal of a visitor. As she had heard no carriage, she thought it not unlikely to be Lady Catherine, and under that apprehension was putting away her half-finished letter that she might escape all impertinent questions, when the door opened, and to her very great surprise, Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Darcy only, entered the room.He seemed astonished too on finding her alone, and apologised for his intrusion by letting her know that he had understood all the ladies to be within.They then sat down, and when her enquiries after Rosings were made, ...

The Dustby David Graham PhillipsThe Grain of DustA NOVELBYDAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPSTHE GRAIN OF DUSTIINTO the offices of Lockyer, Sanders, Benchley, Lockyer & Norman, corporation lawyers, there drifted on a December afternoon a girl in search of work at stenography and typewriting. The firm was about the most important and most famousradical orators often said infamousin New York. The girl seemed, at a glance, about as unimportant and obscure an atom as the city hid in its vast ferment. She was blondetawny hair, fair skin, blue eyes. Aside from this hardly conclusive mark of identity there was nothing positive, nothing definite, about her. She was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither grave nor gay. She gave the impression of a young person of t...
Author :Issue : 总第 43期Provenance :Date :Nation :Translator :吴 溪 一年半是漫长的 一年半，各位也许要说是短促的，然而我却说是漫长的。如果要说短，那末，十年也短，五十年也短，一百年也短。因为生时是有限的，死后是无限的。拿有限和无限相比，这不是短，而是根本无。假使有事情可做，并且过得愉快，那么，这一年半岂不是足以充分利用的吗？ 我应该加快步伐，争取能够做到：多起草一页原稿，多骂倒一个人，多破坏一件事。……也许老天对于我这个顽固的骂人的脾气，也不能够不感到惊异呢？哈哈！ 我不是反对自杀的人。只是觉得，在犯了违背道德和人情的严重罪行以后，自己悔恨，而不知道如何是好的时候，自杀寻死，借以忏悔罪过，象这样的自杀，就不一定是坏事。 为了金钱，病痛等原因而悲观失望，企图自杀，那就只是过分懒惰和脆弱。况且象疾病卧床这一类的事情，其中也不是没有自得其乐的地方。...
