追求一个境界(代序)——谈梁衡的散文最近几年,我在几篇谈散文的文章中,提出了一个看法:在中国散文坛上有两个流派。一个流派主张(或许是大声地主张),散文之妙就在一个“散”字上,信笔写来,松松散散,随随便便,用不着讲什么结构,什么布局,我姑且称此派为“松散派”。另一个是正相反,他们的写作讲究谋篇布局,炼字铸句,我借用杜甫的一句话:“意匠惨淡经营中”,称此派为“经营派”,都是杜撰的名词。我还指出,在中国文学史上,散文大家的传世名篇无一不是惨淡经营的结果。我窃附于“经营派”。我认为,梁衡也属于“经营派”,而且他的“经营”无论思想内容还是艺术表现都非同寻常。即以他的写人物的散文来说,一般都认为,写人物能写到形似,已属不易,而能写到神似者则不啻为上乘。可是梁衡却不以神似为满足,他追求一种更高的水平,异常执着地追求。但是他追求什么呢?我想了好久,也想不出一个恰当的名词。我曾想...

当前,老百姓最为关注的三大难题是看病难、上学难、买房难。上一期,我们分析的是医疗体制改革问题,本期,我们关注教育公平问题。某种意义上说,教育公平主要指向的是教育机会均等问题,教育公平是社会公平价值在教育领域的延伸和体现,包括教育权利平等和教育机会均等这样两个基本方面。教育公平之所以成为教育现代化的基本价值,成为世界各国教育政策的基本出发点,除了接受教育已经成为现代社会公民的基本人权,而且由于教育能够显著地改善人的生存状态,增进社会公平,被视为是实现社会平等“最伟大的工具”。由于我国人口众多、地域广阔、各地区经济文化发展极不平衡的实际国情,我国的教育公平虽然已经得到很大的改善,仍然存在着显著的差距和一些突出的问题。在教育进入新的大发展阶段之时,教育公平问题已经凸显。这主要表现为:由于社会、经济发展不平衡造成的地区差别;由于城市和农村巨大的发展差异造成的城乡差别...
The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnardby Anatole FrancePart IThe LogDecember 24, 1849.I had put on my slippers and my dressing-gown. I wiped away a tear with which the north wind blowing over the quay had obscured my vision. A bright fire was leaping in the chimney of my study. Ice-crystals, shaped like fern-leaves, were sprouting over the windowpanes and concealed from me the Seine with its bridges and the Louvre of the Valois.I drew up my easy-chair to the hearth, and my table-volante, and took up

近年来,社会中间阶层成了国内理论界关注的一个热点问题,这种关注有三个方面的必然性。其一,社会主义市场经济的发展,迅速导致了社会利益主体的多元化,作为一个重要利益群体的中间阶层正在中国逐渐兴起;其二,从西方国家的发展经验来看,社会中间阶层对于民主政治和社会稳定具有特别重要的意义,国内的许多学者也据此判断,中间阶层的状况对中国未来的政治发展也将有着举足轻重的作用;其三,改革开放后,随着中国政治重心从阶级斗争转移向经济建设,淡化“阶级”概念而重视“阶层”概念,事实上已经成为中国思想界的一种现实语境。不过,已有的关于中国社会中间阶层的众多研究,大多是一种社会学的观察和分析,鲜有从政治学角度所做的研究。其实,从政治学的方法分析社会中间阶层,具有社会学的分析所不可替代的作用。这一点正是我向出版社和读者推荐该书的主要理由。...
A Ward of the Golden Gateby Bret HartePROLOGUE.In San Francisco the "rainy season" had been making itself areality to the wondering Eastern immigrant. There were short daysof drifting clouds and flying sunshine, and long succeeding nightsof incessant downpour, when the rain rattled on the thin shinglesor drummed on the resounding zinc of pioneer roofs. The shiftingsand-dunes on the outskirts were beaten motionless and sodden bythe onslaught of consecutive storms; the southeast trades brought.
《她死在QQ上》第一部分书评(1)谁的恐怖游戏严悦(2001-06-17 00:00:00)上路吧……背脊一阵恶寒。割腕,跳楼,心脏病突发,触电身亡,三个女孩和一个男孩都是因为QQ上面的这句话离奇死亡。而这四个人中网名惊鸿的女孩的表姐小诺在调查整个事件的过程中也差点因为这句话坠楼。虽然惊鸿和琉璃的死表面看来都是自杀,但是小诺坚信其背后必有隐情。《她死在QQ上》在故事叙述结尾道明了这个隐情,让人感觉既真实又虚幻。一如网络一样。整个故事脉络简单,元素复杂。主线就是一条,即惊鸿(唐静)、琉璃(苏雪君)、茗(张春华)、胜舟(罗胜舟)在同一时间以不同方式结束生命。故事从惊鸿入手,处处设下悬念,通过三个关键人物小诺、梯云纵(林中)、马伯庸的分析判断步步推进,最后找到元凶道明隐情。...
