这是一个不起眼的地方。在退潮期间,褐色的泥浆被晒干后龟裂成一片片小方块,一眼看去,整个泥滩像被铺上一层砖瓦,给人一种怪异的感觉。泥滩上那条向远处的大海流淌的溪水已不再像一条小溪,只剩下一条沟,几乎是条裂缝,沟底汪着一小滩死水。潮水一来,这条沟又会被灌满。沟有两条倾斜的侧岸,上面的泥浆与其他地方的泥浆干的过程不一样,那里的泥片干得很彻底,焦干焦干的,像漂过白似的。看上去像黑白相间的拼图。这里就像任何一个货港,是一条工业化的风景线:大型停车场、金属保安栏网、头戴安全帽的人们、巨大的载货车在货物的重压下哼哼。坐落在坚实基础上的钢铁巨臂向大海伸去,去迎接货轮上的货物。起重架无声地转动,将货物抓起放下。铁路边上是一座座煤山,长长的货车丁丁当当地缓缓驶过,形成了背景的一部分。巨大的圆形仓库的两侧是白色的现代样式的办公楼,形成了背景的另一部分。空气中弥漫着一种永不消散的石油化...
《幽灵信箱》 总序序幕(1)电子邮箱提示:你有一封未读邮件。谁发来的?打开看看-邮件名:往事那天晚上发生的事让我害怕。夜很黑,我们走过一座石桥后就迷了路。以前在城市里从没感受过真正的黑夜,所谓伸手不见五指,这只有在乡村的月黑天才能体会到。我忘记了我们为什么走入这黑夜中。我们要去哪里?天堂或者地狱,我都不在乎。从小父母总认为我是一个胆小的丫头,可身处这个黑夜我却什么也不怕了。天地万物都已隐去,只有我们,仿佛是从史前走来的两个人,相知相伴,踩着原始部落的鼓点前行-那是我们的心跳。黑色的矮树丛前方像有人蹲着,你挥臂甩出小石头,但却听不见石头落地发出的声音。乡村的大地芳香柔软,漆黑中我的鼻孔里充满草香和水腥味。从小梦想过做仙女或者公主,可是今夜我却成了一个巫女,你说和我走在一起时有眩晕的感觉,我的身上真的散发出什么东西了吗?...

好莱坞的全球化与中国电影的发展清华大学传媒系主任——尹鸿 2001年12月27日 11:06主持人:会当凌绝顶,一览众山小,欢迎大家来到世纪大讲堂。一个节目呢,每一年如果播出是按星期为单位的话,一年呢是365天,按星期除以是52期,也就是有52个星期。那么在这一年当中呢,很多人问主持人阿忆说,为什么你们不把电影当成一种产业,当成一种理论,请一个电影理论家给大家讲一讲。阿忆想这个事儿是对啊,后来我就给北京电影学院的谢飞导演打电话,说您是教电影的理论家,能不能来我们这个大讲堂给大家讲一讲电影理论,但是谢飞导演说,电影是一个操作性很强的技术,没什么理论,哎呀,这个阿忆万般无奈的情况下就想到了,来清华找一下清华的传媒系主任尹鸿,结果尹鸿博士打电话告诉阿忆说没问题,电影照样是理论,所以今天呢,主持人阿忆把尹鸿请到了现场。...
Honore de Balzacby Albert Keim and Louis LumetTranslated from the French by FREDERIC TABER COOPERGENERAL NOTEOf all the books perhaps the one best designed for training the mind and forming the character is "Plutarch." The lives of great men are object-lessons. They teach effort, devotion, industry, heroism and sacrifice.Even one who confines his reading solely to biographies of thinkers, writers, inventors, poets of the spirit or poets of science, will in a short time have acquired an understa
琼瑶1 民国十年七月十日,安徽白沙镇。 梦寒第一次看到曾家那巍峨的七道牌坊,就是在这个夏天的早上。那天是她嫁到曾家的大喜之日。这个早上,她不止见到了名不虚传的“曾家牌坊”,她也见识了名不虚传的“曾家排场”。而且,也是这天早上,她第一次见到她的丈夫曾靖南,和她生命中的另一个男人,江雨杭。这个早上所发生的事,是她这一生永远永远也不会忘记的。 这天的白沙镇真是热闹极了。几乎全镇的居民都出动了,大家一清早就跑到曾家牌坊下面去等着,争先恐后地要看新娘子“拜牌坊”。新娘子拜牌坊,是曾家家族的规矩,任何其他地方都看不到的。曾家这七道牌坊远近驰名,不止是整个白沙镇的光荣,也是整个徽州地区的光荣。它们分别是功德坊、忠义坊、贞节坊、孝悌坊、贤良坊、廉政坊和仁爱坊。一个家庭里能拥有这么多的美德,并惊动许多皇帝下旨建坊,实在是太不容易。难怪这些牌坊成为曾家最大的骄傲,也难怪多年以...
THE DEVOTED FRIENDOne morning the old Water-rat put his head out of his hole. He hadbright beady eyes and stiff grey whiskers and his tail was like along bit of black india-rubber. The little ducks were swimmingabout in the pond, looking just like a lot of yellow canaries, andtheir mother, who was pure white with real red legs, was trying toteach them how to stand on their heads in the water."You will never be in the best society unless you can stand on your...
Epilogue IChapter 1SEVEN YEARS had passed by. The storm-tossed, historic ocean of Europe was subsiding within its shores. It seemed to have grown calm; but the mysterious forces moving humanity (mysterious, because the laws controlling their action are unknown to us) were still at work.Although the surface of the ocean of history seemed motionless, the movement of humanity was as uninterrupted as the flow of time. Various series of groups of men were joining together and separating; the causes
