Egypt (La Mort De Philae)by Pierre LotiTranslated from the French by W. P. BAINESCHAPTER IA WINTER MIDNIGHT BEFORE THE GREAT SPHINXA night wondrously clear and of a colour unknown to our climate; aplace of dreamlike aspect, fraught with mystery. The moon of a brightsilver, which dazzles by its shining, illumines a world which surelyis no longer ours; for it resembles in nothing what may be seen inother lands. A world in which everything is suffused with rosy color...
以下是劳伦斯1926年从意大利给朋友罗夫·戈丁纳(Rolf Gardiner)写的一封信,其中一段话注定不朽:“如果你再到那边去,就去看看伊斯特伍德吧,我在那里出生,长到21岁。去看看沃克街,站在第三座房子前向左边远眺克里契,向前方展望安德伍德,向右首遥望高地公园和安斯里山。我在那座房子里从6岁住到18岁,走遍天下,对那片风景最是了如指掌…… 那是我心灵的故乡。”心灵的故乡,这是劳伦斯对故乡发出的爱恨交织的肺腑之言。2000年10月26、27和28号 一连三天,在劳伦斯的故乡伊斯特伍德镇由美国的序曲剧团(Prelude Productions)推出并首演表现劳伦斯生平的轻歌剧《心灵的故乡》 (The Country of My Heart),剧名出自劳伦斯本人的这封信,表达了他身在异国走向黄泉之际,心系故土的拳拳之恋。演出阵容强大,场场爆满,观众来自诺丁汉附近的城乡各地,成为当地的一大盛事。...
ON DREAMSby Aristotletranslated by J. I. Beare1WE must, in the next place, investigate the subject of the dream,and first inquire to which of the faculties of the soul it presentsitself, i.e. whether the affection is one which pertains to thefaculty of intelligence or to that of sense-perception; for theseare the only faculties within us by which we acquire knowledge....
对面坐的小严伸了个懒腰:“哎,累死我了。杜姐,还不歇会儿?”她这一说,我也觉得自己头昏脑涨了。唉,不服还真不行,人过了40就好比石头下山,一溜斜歪往下滚,止都止不住。年轻的时候看一宿书,第二天该干吗干吗。高考的时候,因为亢奋,连着三夜没合眼,越想睡越清醒的像洗了冷水澡,数绵羊数的都能开牧场了,只好爬起来吃安眠药。一片还是两片?一片怕不管用,两片又怕到时醒不过来,或人是醒了,脑子却半睡半醒。一片吧。谁知一点没用。想着这下可玩完了,脑子还不一盆糨糊?嘿,好运气来了挡都挡不住,所有的题别管对错全做了。最后一门课考完,监考老师笑眯眯地说,这考场有一个能考上的就是你。还真让他说中了。不知道那考场是不是只有我一人考上,反正我考上了是没错。年轻真好呀。...
Adventureby Jack LondonCHAPTER ISOMETHING TO BE DONEHe was a very sick white man. He rode pick-a-back on a woolly- headed, black-skinned savage, the lobes of whose ears had been pierced and stretched until one had torn out, while the other carried a circular block of carved wood three inches in diameter. The torn ear had been pierced again, but this time not so ambitiously, for the hole accommodated no more than a short clay pipe. The man-horse was greasy and dirty, and naked save for an exce
The Moravians in Georgia, 1735-1740 by Adelaide L. FriesPreface.In the life of any individual, association, or nation, there will probably be one or more occurrences which may be considered as success or failure according to the dramatic features of the event and the ultimate results. Of this the Battle of Bunker Hill is a striking example. On the morning of June 17th, 1775, a force of British soldiers attacked a small body of raw, ill-equipped American volunteers, who had fortified a hill near
1 8 9 8 — 1 9 1 3在淮安,坐落着一栋雅致的上流社会的住宅。对于一个注定要成为世界上最大的共产党领袖的人来说,这里似乎不可能是一个起步的地方。然而,没落的周氏家族的绅士们,尽管他们在中国的东部海岸那繁荣的城镇里挣扎着来维持自己的官吏阶级利益,当他们听到1898年3月5日出生的那个孩子成了中国最著名的总理的消息时,却根本不感到惊奇。他们觉得这是丝毫没有什么可以奇怪的事。今天,如果你到江苏省的淮安去的话,人们会带着你穿过一条两壁洁白的通道,进入那老式的却又具有新的传奇色彩的房子里去。房子上面写着:“周恩来总理故居”①。这栋房子并不算大,仅仅一层,但那砖砌的墙壁却厚厚实实,那支撑着房檐的木柱雕刻得精致华丽,那传统的灰色中国瓦片昂首翘望着天空。...
THE SON OF TARZANby Edgar Rice BurroughsTO HULBERT BURROUGHSChapter 1The long boat of the Marjorie W. was floating down the broad Ugambi with ebb tide and current. Her crew were lazily enjoying this respite from the arduous labor of rowing up stream. Three miles below them lay the Marjorie W. herself, quite ready to sail so soon as they should have clambered aboard and swung the long boat to its davits. Presently the attention of every man was drawn from his dreaming or his gossiping to the
