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

The Pension Beaurepasby Henry JamesCHAPTER I.I was not richon the contrary; and I had been told the PensionBeaurepas was cheap. I had, moreover, been told that a boarding-house is a capital place for the study of human nature. I had afancy for a literary career, and a friend of mine had said to me, "Ifyou mean to write you ought to go and live in a boarding-house; thereis no other such place to pick up material."

《正在发育》 不想成为另类自序:我是作家吗我想象中的作家是:满屋子都是纸,然后就疯头疯脑地写,脚上的袜子黑一只白一只,脚翘到桌子上,写一写就甩一甩头,还动不动就狂叫一声。小女子某日傍晚一不留神也成了作家。说来话长,在我七岁那年,小女的母亲不幸产生了让我当作家的念头。可那时小女跟一个文盲没有两样,但小女的母亲不顾“儿女”之情,在未擦干依然油腻的桌子上,连哄带骂地诱惑我吃了第一个“禁果”,她说:“当作家多容易,只需要一个破本子一个烂笔杆子就哗啦哗啦地赚钱。”我自幼受爸爸妈妈的教导,对钱情有独衷。于是我带着“壮士一去不复返”的表情,开始了我的写作生涯。当妈妈宣布我的第一个作品完成时,我郑重地在最后一个句号上描了又描。...
文明冲突与文化融合(上) 今天晚上,我给大家讲一讲“文明冲突与文化融合”。这是一个非常宏观的题目,但是却直接关系到我们生活的世界背景。因此,我希望通过讲这个问题,能够帮助同学们对当今以及未来的世界格局产生更加清醒和深刻的认识。一、问题的由来 早在1993年,美国哈佛大学的一位国际政治学教授萨缪尔·亨廷顿,在美国一个名叫《外交》杂志的夏季号上,发表了一篇文章,题目就叫《文明的冲突》。在这篇文章里边,萨缪尔·亨廷顿指出,在20世纪80年代末期,世界上发生了一些重大的变化,苏联的解体,东欧社会主义阵营的瓦解,以及国际关系格局中发生的一些相应变化,宣告了冷战时代的结束。针对这种国际形势,萨缪尔·亨廷顿在这篇文章里面提出了一个在当时看来是耸人听闻的观点。他认为,随着苏联的解体,随着社会主义阵营的不复存在,从第二次世界大战以后形成的社会主义和资本主义这两大阵营的对垒将不再构成未...
