自 序 本集所选文章,除少数写于家乡凤阳,大多是漂泊北京期间写就。 由于我在家乡已磨快了手中的“镰刀”,一到北京便忙着收获“庄稼”,故从未为衣食忧。但作为一个无任何依托,惟靠一颗人脑与一台电脑闯世界的异乡客,总会体验到一种与在家乡不同的人生况味。我初到北京,由于对地理环境不熟悉,租房一再失误,为了改善居住条件和环境,我曾从市内迁到远郊,又从远郊迁至市内,后又从市内迁至通州,两年多7次“乔迁”。每次搬“家”,都使我强烈地感受到一个流浪者的孤独与无助。然而,每次搬迁结束,我便可在“新居”内架起电脑,读书写作投稿,或曰“开张营业”。这又使我感到一种身有所托的安然,更感到一种心有所寄的快乐,所托所寄者何?我有一片不受他人侵扰的精神家园供我耕耘、供我收获也!而本集中的文章,便是这片家园中产出的部分果实了。这些果实滋味如何?恭请读者品尝。...
Lesser Hippiasby Plato (see Appendix I)Translated by Benjamin JowettAPPENDIX I.It seems impossible to separate by any exact line the genuine writings ofPlato from the spurious. The only external evidence to them which is ofmuch value is that of Aristotle; for the Alexandrian catalogues of acentury later include manifest forgeries. Even the value of theAristotelian authority is a good deal impaired by the uncertaintyconcerning the date and authorship of the writings which are ascribed to...
THE CHILD WHO CAME FROM AN EGGOnce upon a time there lived a queen whose heart was sore becauseshe had no children. She was sad enough when her husband was athome with her, but when he was away she would see nobody, but satand wept all day long.Now it happened that a war broke out with the king of aneighbouring country, and the queen was left in the palace alone.She was so unhappy that she felt as if the walls would stifleher, so she wandered out into the garden, and threw herself down...
第一部分 爱情在升温序言和很多人一样,我曾经在一所名为清X大的学校里生活了四年。清X大是一所略有些灰色的学校,里面的绝大部分建筑都要有四五十年的历史,当然也有崭新的高楼林立,古老和现代呈现出对立的态势,却并不怎么和谐。对于这些崭新的高楼我没有太多发言权,因为它们几乎不属于我们这样的本科生,那是精英们的世界。你可以在任何大学找到清X大的影子,你也可以在清X大找到任何大学的影子。很多人因为是一名清X大的学生而感到自豪,也有很多人因为是清X大的学生抱憾终生。这里有奋发向上的学生,也有名满天下的教授,他们甚至可以走在世界的前沿,这里也有更多的被无聊的情绪所笼罩的学生,他们一起混过四年,拿到一张清X大的毕业证书,然后寂然地离开,不会给这里留下什么。...
《天下驭龙记第一部井锁神龙》作者:寻龙老人第一章落难英雄在多灾多难的天津卫有一著名的闹市区,名曰南市。此地之所以名扬天津卫,源于此地的三不管,即天津不管,日本人不管,法国人不管。但是根据当地的百姓讲三不管实是另有“深意”:被打了不管,被偷了不管,被卖了不管!就是这样一处不招人待见的地方,在民国时期却是热闹非常,沿袭了旧时的风俗,在民国期间此地是越发的混乱,人吃人,人挤人,人害人,人踩人,真可谓鱼龙混杂,嘛玩意儿都有!此时正是秋风萧瑟之时,落叶纷飞,一股悲煞之意流动在空气之中。在南市那条宽阔的挤满了脑袋的大道上有一座不知立于何年的牌坊,上面的字迹已经斑驳,但是高大的汉白玉牌坊却向人们诉说这往昔的辉煌。在这牌坊的脚下正坐着两个衣衫褴褛的外乡人,这在南市这个地方却是屡见不鲜,一天死几个也是常事,所以过往的那麻木的目光从未在二人身上停留。两人都穿着原来是蓝色的衣衫,现在...

重庆我于1921年出生于中国,在长江上游的一个叫重庆的城市里。怎么说我的出生呢?嗯,看起来是满顺利的。因为我从未听到就此有什么抱怨。那时除了一个从扬子江下游专程赶来的法国医生,城里没有专门的医生。在修女们的帮助下,正是这位维鸿医生使我降临人间。这些修女的特点是从不独自行动,她们在每一项护理程序中总是两两成行。那时候,年轻母亲要在床上度过三个礼拜。这三个礼拜是天堂,据说领事馆所有欧洲和中国的工作人员,每天不停地给小玛利带来礼物。母亲当时应该是19岁,她没有乳汁,因而不能自己哺育我。维鸿医生只好请来年轻的中国母亲做我的乳母。所以我是一个中国女人奶大的。我保留了一张我的乳娘安娜发的照片。母亲因为不能亲自喂养我,总怀有犯罪感。...
Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empressby George Bernard ShawANNAJANSKA is frankly a bravura piece. The modern variety theatredemands for its "turns" little plays called sketches, to lasttwenty minutes or so, and to enable some favorite performer tomake a brief but dazzling appearance on some barely passabledramatic pretext. Miss Lillah McCarthy and I, as author andactress, have helped to make one another famous on many seriousoccasions, from Man and Superman to Androcles; and Mr Charles...
The Egoistby George MeredithPRELUDEA Chapter of which the Last Page only is of any ImportanceComedy is a game played to throw reflections upon social life, andit deals with human nature in the drawing-room of civilized menand women, where we have no dust of the struggling outer world, nomire, no violent crashes, to make the correctness of therepresentation convincing. Credulity is not wooed through theimpressionable senses; nor have we recourse to the small circular...
