迄今为止,我养过一只狸猫,她在一岁三个月的时候被野猫搞大了肚子,大概没脸回来见我,只在阳台的废纸箱子里留下一窝贼眉鼠眼的后代,从此音讯全无。后来,我又养过一条公狗,叫晃悠,虽然咬牙给它上了户口,但由于它的身形过于庞大,在去年轰轰烈烈的打狗运动从文斗转向武斗之后,最终成了牺牲品,我至今记得那一天当我怀揣着五千块钱哭天抢地的跑到派出所去要狗的时候那个胖子扔给我的白眼,就像我的晃悠拐走了他的老婆,那个家伙挥舞着短粗的胳膊,对着所长办公室的方向宣誓:“就算我丢了工作也不能徇私枉法叫你带走这条狗!”我当时想,把我养的狗还给我居然还枉法了?简直强盗!为了填补我内心的失落,那天回来的路上我顺手在一个人的自行车车筐里抄走了一只看上去刚孵出来不久的鸭子塞进口袋,若无其事地溜达进了家门……...

Against Apion.(1)by Flavius JosephusTranslated by William WhistonBOOK 1.1. I Suppose that by my books of the Antiquity of the Jews, most excellent Epaphroditus, (2) have made it evident to those who peruse them, that our Jewish nation is of very great antiquity, and had a distinct subsistence of its own originally; as also, I have therein declared how we came to inhabit this country wherein we now live. Those Antiquities contain the history of five thousand years, and are taken out of our sacre
YOUNG GOODMAN BROWNYoung Goodman Brown came forth at sunset into the street at Salemvillage; but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, toexchange a parting kiss with his young wife. And Faith, as thewife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street,letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap while shecalled to Goodman Brown."Dearest heart," whispered she, softly and rather sadly, when herlips were close to his ear, "prithee put off your journey until...
自我们跨入21世纪的门槛的那天起,这几年来,几乎所有手上有点闲钱的中国人都将购买的目光投向了房产和汽车,而一个家庭拥有房产的数量、面积和档次,以及一个家庭是否拥有汽车及其档次,自然也成了判定一个家庭社会与经济地位的最直接指标。在房产和汽车快速进入普通家庭,并成为我们拥有的主要财产的时候,在我们的宪法第一次庄严地承诺“保护私有财产的合法性”的时候,那个我们曾长期摒弃甚至视为罪恶的middle class即所谓“中产阶级”,也开始频繁地出现在各种现代媒介以及最古老的媒介——我们的嘴皮子上,它也许会成为21世纪上半叶中国社会最流行的语言之一。在短短的20余年的改革开放之后,在突然间拥有的房产和汽车面前,“突然中产”在我们缺乏准备并因此多少有些局促不安的心里激起的眩晕,大概是托夫勒所说的“未来的振荡”(future shock)的最好的中国版本。在今天这个全球经济乃至文化一体化的时代,认真审视西方及其...

Robert Louis Stevenson, A Record, An Estimate, A Memorialby A. H. JappPREFACEA FEW words may here be allowed me to explain one or two points. First, about the facsimile of last page of Preface to FAMILIAR STUDIES OF MEN AND BOOKS. Stevenson was in Davos when the greater portion of that work went through the press. He felt so much the disadvantage of being there in the circumstances (both himself and his wife ill) that he begged me to read the proofs of the Preface for him. This illnes
