《一地流连》作者:米如他要订婚了!殷复颜从没想过,这辈子还能发生这么戏剧性的事。她不太敢相信,只得滴了几滴刚开的眼药水,拧了热毛巾敷上。药水好像多了点,溢出的部分顺着脸侧滑下来,刚好流进嘴角。这眼药水是人工眼泪,和普通的眼药水完全不同,咸咸的,好像真的是她在哭一样。大概过了五分钟,她拿下毛巾去了洗手间。洗毛巾的时候她忍不住抬头看向镜子,虽然景象有些模糊,但还是能清楚地辨别出来,眼睛里是大片通红的颜色。眼睛实在酸得很,她抬手想揉一揉,想了想又放下了。医生说是结膜炎,除了眼红、流泪,视力也下降得非常快,她甚至已经分辨不出颈侧是不是真的开始肿大。她怀疑了好久,看不清就用手去摸,可一直都不敢确定。...

每个社会、每个时代所定义的英雄都不大一样。大致上说来,我们赋予英雄的定义越来越狭小。现在社会堪称升平,我们所称颂的英雄,是符合社会规范的,例如不顾一切进入火场救人的消警、为贫苦学童提供营养午餐的爱心妈妈、揭发工程弊案的立委等等。也就是说,当今社会所认可的英雄,是社会法治、伦理道统的模范生第一名,褒奖这些人,就是鼓励大家都向他们看齐。其实这些英雄,不过就是“好人”①而已。我认为,真正的英雄,从来不是从众的。英雄具有强烈的“对抗”气质,是颠覆的,是具有惊人破坏性的,在大家都赞成的时候能勇敢抗议,在所有人摇头的时候他义正严词捍卫想法的那种人,必要的时候,英雄还要能撕裂自己与众人间的情感,捍卫“自己信守的价值”。...

At the Sign of the Cat and Racketby Honore de BalzacTranslated by Clara BellDEDICATIONTo Mademoiselle Marie de MontheauAT THE SIGN OF THE CAT AND RACKETHalf-way down the Rue Saint-Denis, almost at the corner of the Rue duPetit-Lion, there stood formerly one of those delightful houses whichenable historians to reconstruct old Paris by analogy. The threateningwalls of this tumbledown abode seemed to have been decorated withhieroglyphics. For what other name could the passer-by give to the Xs...
THE HISTORY OF DWARF LONG NOSEIt is a great mistake to think that fairies, witches, magicians,and such people lived only in Eastern countries and in such timesas those of the Caliph Haroun Al-Raschid. Fairies and theirlike belong to every country and every age, and no doubt weshould see plenty of them nowif we only knew how.In a large town in Germany there lived, some couple of hundredyears ago, a cobbler and his wife. They were poor andhard-working. The man sat all day in a little stall at

Coral and Coral Reefsby Thomas H. HuxleyTHE subject upon which I wish to address you to-night is the structureand origin of Coral and Coral Reefs. Under the head of "coral" thereare included two very different things; one of them is that substancewhich I imagine a great number of us have champed when we were verymuch younger than we are now,the common red coral, which is used somuch, as you know, for the edification and the delectation of childrenof tender years, and is also employed for the p
Brother Jacobby George Eliot [Mary Anne Evans]CHAPTER IAmong the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, thatof blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, beensufficiently considered. How is the son of a British yeoman, whohas been fed principally on salt pork and yeast dumplings, to knowthat there is satiety for the human stomach even in a paradise ofglass jars full of sugared almonds and pink lozenges, and that the...
中国式饭局 第一章 中国式饭局 第一章(1)1鹭门市民营明星企业大东南集团董事长郝冬希的长相、扮相都让人很难把他和财富联系起来:粗黑的大脚板上趿拉着地摊上十块钱就能买一双的塑胶拖鞋,T恤衫看上去是名牌,明眼人却一眼就能看出,那是从专门倒卖假名牌的西霞路上弄来的。他喜欢穿肥大的沙滩裤,沙滩裤下面露出来的肥腿让人想起没有燎毛的猪肘子。胖大的脑袋剃了一个小平头,满脑袋花白茬子不仔细看还以为他刚刚弹完棉花。离开他那台奔驰350,能够表明郝冬希属于富人阶层的惟一行头,就是挂在他脖子上同拴狗链子差不多粗细的金项链。这条金链子让他显得恶俗,常常引来雅士鄙夷的目光。郝冬希也明白男人拴这么条链子,尽管那是一条金链子也并不美观,所以时不时地要向别人解释,他五行缺金,因此,要长年累月在脖子上挂一条沉重的金链子,求个五行齐全。...
在20世纪80年代中期,中华人民共和国的发展已经越过了其缔造者一代人曾全心关注的革命范围。当然,政治生涯横跨半个世纪之久的中国现代史的那些领导人仍然活跃着。毛泽东以后,中国最有权力的领导人邓小平是最早的中国共产主义小组的成员之一,在毛泽东于1935年取得对党的控制权之前曾与其密切共事,并参加过史诗般的长征。但至今仍活着的老一代领导人,特别是邓小平,首先关心的是在稳定的国内和国际政治环境下促进中国的繁荣。作为“文化大革命”的受害者,邓小平特别注重强化体制和确保权力的平稳交接。他正在利用他的余年和个人权威推动法制,使国家机构的行政职能和党的直接控制区别开来,并要求党为现代化的需要服务。他十分重视权力的平稳交接,可以从他提拔了若干新人到党和国家的最高职位,以及在更一般的层次上鼓励整个制度启用较年轻和受过较好训练的干部等方面得到证明。...
The Inca of Perusalemby George Bernard ShawAN ALMOST HISTORICAL COMEDIETTAI must remind the reader that this playlet was written when itsprincipal character, far from being a fallen foe and virtually aprisoner in our victorious hands, was still the Caesar whoselegions we were resisting with our hearts in our mouths. Manywere so horribly afraid of him that they could not forgive me fornot being afraid of him: I seemed to be trifling heartlessly with...
第一篇 起 她自幼聪慧过人,尤其擅长计数和演算,11岁进学堂,12岁就能和算盘子对垒比试算术,算速之快令人咋舌,通常能以你吐一口痰的速度心算出两组四位数的乘除数。一位靠摸人头骨算命的瞎子给她算命,说她连鼻头上都长着脑筋,是个九九八百一十年才能出一个的奇人。 一 1873年乘乌篷船离开铜镇去西洋拜师求学的那个人,是江南有名的大盐商容氏家族的第七代传人中的最小,名叫容自来,到了西洋后,改名叫约翰·黎黎。后来的人都说,容家人身上世袭的潮湿的盐碱味就是从这个小子手头开始剥落变味的,变成了干爽清洁的书香味,还有一腔救国爱国的君子意气。这当然跟他的西洋之行是分不开的。但容家人当初推举他去西洋求学的根本目的,不是想要他来改变家族的味道,而仅仅是为了给容家老奶奶多一个延长寿命的手段。老奶奶年轻时是一把生儿育女的好手,几十年间给容家添了九男七女,而且个个长大成人,事业有成,为...
“很早以前,一个遥远的国家有一座迷人的城市,那里有金碧辉煌的宫殿,庄严的庙宇,华丽的牌楼,优美恬静的园林以及由成千上万座灰色瓦房组成的幽静的四合院,是一个神秘的令人赞叹不已的地方。”这是一段世界著名旅行家马可·波罗关于某个年代东方某地的描写。这个某时和某地被历史的长河定格在了中国元代元大都。中国的灿烂文明历史悠久,从炎、黄二帝开疆立业到夏、商、周朝的灿烂发展;从秦皇汉武的一统江山到唐宗宋祖的盛象万千;从大元帝国的空前强大到康乾盛世重塑辉煌。中国历史上从来就不缺乏伟大的朝代和伟大的君王。这些令我们自豪和骄傲的历代王朝和君主都是我们灿烂文明的巨大财富,而我们要讲的则是这些财富中最具特色的、最大疆域的、最具强悍姿态的、最富有神秘色彩的、最有争议的、最让欧洲人惧怕的……拥有太多之最的超级帝国——元。...
