HIGH-WATER MARKWhen the tide was out on the Dedlow Marsh, its extended drearinesswas patent. Its spongy, low-lying surface, sluggish, inky pools,and tortuous sloughs, twisting their slimy way, eel-like, towardthe open bay, were all hard facts. So were the few green tussocks,with their scant blades, their amphibious flavor and unpleasantdampness. And if you choose to indulge your fancyalthough theflat monotony of the Dedlow Marsh was not inspiringthe wavy line...
卿希泰道教文化是中华传统文化的重要组成部分,而道教科技则是道教文化中的瑰宝。道教科技在中国科技史上占有极为重要的地位,对中国传统科技发展曾有过积极的推动作用。英国学者李约瑟博士在其所著《中国科学技术史》第二卷《科学思想史》中,对此有很长的一段评述:“道家哲学虽然含有政治集体主义、宗教神秘主义以及个人修炼成仙的各种因素,但它却发展了科学态度的许多最重要的特点,因而对中国科学史是有着头等重要性的。此外,道家又根据他们的原理而行动,由此之故,东亚的化学、矿物学、植物学和药物学都起源于道家,他们同希腊的前苏格拉底的和伊壁鸠鲁派的科学哲学家有很多相似之处。……道家深刻地意识到变化和转化的普遍性,这是他们最深刻的科学洞见之一。”在这段文字中,李约瑟所谓的道家显然是包括道教在内的,其所强调的在中国科技史上具有重大意义的道家道教科学哲学,也是道教内部能够产生丰富的科技成就的...

就在国内企业纷纷引进西方管理培训课程的时候,有一位叫剑歌的讲师却剑走偏锋,创立了颇具东方文化色彩的职场养生理论。他认为传统的西方企业管理理念过于偏狭,往往只重眼前绩效,不看长远利益,很容易把员工压迫在紧张、忙碌而又缺乏快乐的环境之下,从而导致绩效水分和财富泡沫的大量出现。为此,他提出了一个新的观点:真正卓越的企业和真正出色的员工应该追求绿色绩效。他开设的《职业生涯中的养生计划》培训课程一经推出,便掀起了一阵强烈的旋风,直把那些西方企业管理理论的泊来品吹得东摇西晃。 依照剑歌的职场养生理论,身体绩效+工作绩效=绿色绩效。在这样的价值评测体系中,衡量职业成功与否的传统标志将被颠覆,一个身家上亿的企业老板可能还不如一个打工者更加成功,因为前者所创造的绩效中含有很多的水分和泡沫,而且其健康指标很可能也远远不如后者。...

Camille (La Dame aux Camilias)by Alexandre Dumas, filsChapter IIn my opinion, it is impossible to create characters until one has spent a long time in studying men, as it is impossible to speak a language until it has been seriously acquired. Not being old enough to invent, I content myself with narrating, and I beg the reader to assure himself of the truth of a story in which all the characters, with the exception of the heroine, are still alive. Eye-witnesses of the greater part of the facts
Addressesby Henry DrummondIntroductoryI was staying with a party of friends in a country house during myvisit to England in 1884. On Sunday evening as we sat around thefire, they asked me to read and expound some portion of Scripture.Being tired after the services of the day, I told them to ask HenryDrummond, who was one of the party. After some urging he drew asmall Testament from his hip pocket, opened it at the 13th chapter...
THE SPIRIT OF THE BORDERA ROMANCE OF THE EARLY SETTLERS IN THE OHIO VALLEYBY ZANE GREY1906To my brotherWith many fond recollections of days spent in the solitude of the forestswhere only can be satisfied that wild fever of freedom of which this booktells; where to hear the whirr of a wild duck in his rapid flight is joy;where the quiet of an autumn afternoon swells the heart, and where one maywatch the fragrant wood-smoke curl from the campfire, and see the starspeep...
我看见小菲就那么悄悄地从病房前面不经意地经过。就那么偷偷地看一眼。然后就走了。我就不知道她有没有哭了。她喜欢我我是知道的,但是我真的不知道她为什么喜欢我?!她是谁啊?!军区副司令的外孙女!多少小白脸军官巴不得的老婆啊!我是谁啊?!一个小兵而已啊,还是个列兵啊?!我还比她小三岁啊!她是为了什么呢?我当时是真的不知道。而且我当时也没有费那个脑子,不像现在我经常周旋于不同的女孩之间,我那时候单纯得要命,就是小影!没别人了!这辈子就是她了!谁都不换!所以是真的没有多想。多想我有个屁用啊?!又不现实!我也不敢啊!我怎么可能对不起小影呢?!就没多想。就是天天和小影在一起,还是在回忆里面,我在睡着的时候看见小菲一次次地经过,一次次地偷偷看一眼转身就走。...
致内地读者得怀着感恩的心情,在因缘际会下,我第一本在内地发行的书,是关于快乐/不快乐的课题,跟内地朋友分享自己这几年的体会。当前大势。不失为反思“拥有与失去”的黄金机会,能借此想到拥有的代价、失去的回报,内心得以从外在环境与际遇中释放,堪称千金不换。过去写下不少勾引别人眼泪的歌词,有时会反省自己是不是美化了伤感,有时又觉得让人落泪,可得到发泄,但愿也不算是作孽、遗害人间。有时看到内地网民在在线讨论我最伤感的歌词,看着看着,不期然想到所谓悲伤,不把它写得透彻见血见肉见骨,不把“苦”解剖,也难以找出解药,这样看,也算符合科学发展观吧。如果多难能兴邦,多了解苦,查找苦的成因,大抵亦能兴建乐的心灵国度。...
Masterman Readyby Captain Marryat( Frederick Marryat )Chapter IIt was in the month of October, 18, that the Pacific, a large ship, was running before a heavy gale of wind in the middle of the vast Atlantic Ocean. She had but little sail, for the wind was so strong, that the canvas would have been split into pieces by the furious blasts before which she was driven through the waves, which were very high, and following her almost as fast as she darted through their boiling waters; sometimes heavi
