二十岁左右的作者在目前的文坛上无疑是一种另类。从郁秀的《花季雨季》开始,直到现在的众多作者——当初个体的尝试到现在已经发展成了群体的行为。客观的讲,这应该是件好事。文学本身就是青年人的世界,特别是文学创作,青年作者具有活跃的思维和创作的激情——从这方面来看,某些优秀的青年作者并不逊色于中老年作家。最喜欢的部分是他在故事里说到爱情。亦芸说一切都会变化,没有什么可以天长地久,然而他却坚定地告诉她:“还有爱情,爱情是不变的。”事实上,我们都知道有时候爱情也会脆弱,但是我们的生命中都需要有这样一个人,坚定地对我们说,爱情是不会变的。即使有一天,爱情脱离了我们的掌控发生了改变,那一份昔时的美好,也足以珍藏一生。...

Majorie Dawby Thomas Bailey AldrichI.DR. DILLON TO EDWARD DELANEY, ESQ., AT THE PINES.NEAR RYE, N.H.August 8, 1872.My Dear Sir: I am happy to assure you that your anxiety is withoutreason. Flemming will be confined to the sofa for three or fourweeks, and will have to be careful at first how he uses his leg. Afracture of this kind is always a tedious affair. Fortunately thebone was very skilfully set by the surgeon who chanced to be in thedrugstore where Flemming was brought after his fall, and

《岁月与海浪》第一部分罗杰•弗莱/弗吉尼亚•伍尔夫(1)罗杰•弗莱本文选自弗尼古亚•伍尔夫:《罗杰•弗莱传》,伦敦:贺加斯出版社,1940年,第261~268、269~270、278~279、288~294页。——原注弗吉尼亚•伍尔夫如果说牛津拒绝了他(因为1927年在那儿他没有被授予斯拉德教授[SladeProfessorship]之职),那么伦敦倒是接纳了他。令他颇感诧异的是,这些年月中,每当作有关艺术的演讲时,他发现自己总能使女王音乐厅(QueensHall)内座无虚席。伯灵顿宫(BurlingtonHouse)的冬季展给他提供了这样的机会。他谈佛兰德斯(Flemish)艺术,谈法国艺术,谈意大利艺术,于是自然而然地,大厅就被挤满了。那些听众“热情洋溢、如痴如醉”(正如其中一位所记录的那样)。听他演讲,真是震撼心灵的精神享受。当年的女王音乐厅中,在冬夜里弥漫着绿蒙蒙的雾霭,回荡着劳苦大众的喷嚏声和咳嗽声。而令他们兴...
1 上校,我们的父亲 我童年中的奥地利是战争中的奥地利。1914年爆发了第一次世界大战,我们的父亲,格奥尔格·冯·特拉普,战争期间是位潜艇指挥官。他不仅是一名优秀的奥地利海军将领,一个有眼光,有胆识,头脑又聪慧的人,他还是一位可爱的丈夫与父亲。 爸爸个儿高,身材修长而匀称。他仪表堂堂,一头黑发,留着八字须,棕色的眼睛温柔可亲,引人注目。他手很壮实,形状也好看,订婚戒与婚戒把他的手衬得很漂亮。他对周遭事物细心而敏感,走起路来腰板挺直,身手也敏捷。 他穿什么都好看。爸爸的衣着永远是利索又干净,搭配得也好。比如说颜色,他大都穿淡淡的温和的绿色。他的外套是羊毛花呢的。裤子依照他那个时代(1914年到1925年)的款式,都是膝下扎紧的灯笼裤。灯笼裤只到膝下一点点,那个年代的男人们都穿着织有不同图案的及膝长统袜。袜口下翻,用来遮住吊袜带。夹克衫,马甲,还有裤子,都是同一种质地与...
心绪阴晴不定。在是否考研之间徘徊不定已经很久了,没有人为你做这个决定,只有你自己才是你的救世主。在我所经历的求学生涯中,我是如此平凡。因此,我对自己考研能否成功没有任何把握。小学和中学,我和许多孩子一样普普通通,并无多少传奇的故事可讲。从河北一个叫做定兴的小城走出来的时候,已经是1997年。这一年,我高考成绩并不理想。在面临读河北的普通高校和读北大专科的抉择中,我选择了后者———北大对于每个学生来讲都是一种神圣的向往。但当时我并未意识到专科性质所可能带来的尴尬。电子与计算机应用是我的专业,大学第一年我在好奇与懵懂中度过。在各种需要本科生资格才能进入或参与的场所或事件中,我被不断的略带蔑视的盘问催生出强烈的自卑,走在北大边缘的忧伤很深刻。于是,我开始沉默,在沉默中用文字表达自己。我开始写作、发表各种文章并接触媒体。我在经历了大学生活最初的虚度、狂欢和沉默不言后,陷入到...
A Journey to the Western Isles of Scotlandby Samuel JohnsonINCH KEITHI had desired to visit the Hebrides, or Western Islands ofScotland, so long, that I scarcely remember how the wish wasoriginally excited; and was in the Autumn of the year 1773 inducedto undertake the journey, by finding in Mr. Boswell a companion,whose acuteness would help my inquiry, and whose gaiety ofconversation and civility of manners are sufficient to counteractthe inconveniences of travel, in countries less hospitable
Of Moneyby David Hume(1752)Money is not, properly speaking, one of the subjects of commerce;but only the instrument which men have agreed upon to facilitate theexchange of one commodity for another. It is none of the wheels oftrade: It is the oil which renders the motion of the wheels moresmooth and easy. If we consider any one kingdom by itself, it isevident, that the greater or less plenty of money is of noconsequence; since the prices of commodities are always proportioned...
