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
琼瑶白狐一 “少爷,再有三里路就是清安县的县境了,您要不要下轿子来歇一歇呢?”老家人葛升骑着小毛驴,绕到葛云鹏的轿子旁边,对坐在轿子里的云鹏说。 “天色已经暗下来了,不是吗?”云鹏看了看天空,轿子两边的帏幔都是掀开的,云鹏可以一览无遗的看到四周的景致。他们这一行人正走到一条山间的隘道里,两边都是山,左边的陡而峻,遍是嵯峨的巨石和断壁悬崖,令人颇有惊心动魄之感。右边却是起伏的丘陵山脉,一望无尽的丛林,绵绵密密的苍松古槐,参天的千年巨木,看过去是深幽而暗密的。这时,暮色已在天边堆积起来了,正逐渐的、逐渐的向四周扩散,那丛林深处及山谷,都已昏暗模糊。几缕炊烟,在山谷中疏疏落落的升起,一只孤鹤,正向苍茫无际的云天飞去。整个郊原里,现出的是一份荒凉的景象。...
ON THE HEAVENSby Aristotletranslated by J. L. StocksBook I1THE science which has to do with nature clearly concerns itself for the most part with bodies and magnitudes and their properties and movements, but also with the principles of this sort of substance, as many as they may be. For of things constituted by nature some are bodies and magnitudes, some possess body and magnitude, and some are principles of things which possess these. Now a continuum is that which is divisible into parts alway
RECALLED TO LIFECHAPTER IThe PeriodIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other wayin short, the period was so. far like the presen
最近朋友聊天时,总会不经意间将话题引至冯小刚的贺岁片《手机》。的确,《手机》在像手雷一样将岁末票房激起巨浪的同时,也引发了很多家庭危机和道德讨论,现在人们几乎是谈“机”色变。男人花心,男人多情,原本不是什么新鲜话题,不过衣冠楚楚、道貌岸然的男士依然受到众人的爱戴,受到众多美女的青睐,值得人们怀疑的是他们华丽背后的真面目是什么。《手机》中的严守一和老墨似乎就是这样的男人,头顶四射的光芒,集众多宠爱和仰慕于一身,但背地里却散发出糜烂的气息。这些男人,大都是些“好色之徒”。吃着碗里,还瞅着锅里的。而影片中的手机更是使得严守一们可以在妻子、情人、女友之间圆谎,还可以与志趣相投的哥儿们老墨互通一气,形成互助联盟的幌子。手机成了男人一个很好的撒谎道具,是他们用来周旋感情保护自己的武器。...
第一章序幕:奇怪的伤口整出惨剧,连同序幕和它所包含的突变曲折,可以用几页文字概述出来,而不会遗漏任何凸现真情的细枝末节。这出惨剧是极其自然地发生的。重大事件即将发生时,命运有时会事先发出威胁恐吓,但在这出惨剧里事先没有显出一星半点的迹象。没有一丝气流预示暴风骤雨将临。也没有一丝恐慌。甚至在观看这出小剧的困惑不解的观众当中,也没有一丝不安。这出小剧因为包裹了浓厚的神秘色彩而显得那样悲惨。事情是这样的:德。儒韦尔夫妇在奥韦涅的沃尔尼城堡招待宾客。那是一座巍峨的建筑物,顶上建了一些小塔,铺着棕红的瓦片。主宾一起去维希听了一场音乐会。演唱者是令人赞赏的歌唱家伊丽莎白。奥尔南。次日,八月十三日,伊丽莎白应德。儒韦尔夫人邀请,来城堡吃午饭。还在她与银行家奥尔南离婚之前,德。儒韦尔夫人就认识她了。城堡离维希城只有十二公里。...
An Unsocial Socialistby George Bernard ShawCHAPTER IIn the dusk of an October evening, a sensible looking woman offorty came out through an oaken door to a broad landing on thefirst floor of an old English country-house. A braid of her hairhad fallen forward as if she had been stooping over book or pen;and she stood for a moment to smooth it, and to gazecontemplativelynot in the least sentimentallythrough thetall,narrow window. The sun was setting, but its glories were at the...
“好的,一个半小时后,我们见面。”苏阳稍稍地收拾了一下,换了件衣服,对着镜子梳理了一下头发。镜中呈现的是一张还算英俊的脸,干净而又不失硬朗,只是少了些年轻的朝气,多了点灯红酒绿生活的颓靡。苏阳出门坐上公车。网友朱素留给他的地址离他家有相当的一段路程,中间转一趟车,估计最少得一个多小时。他看了一下手表,6点55分,也就是说,差不多8点30可以与她见面,然后彼此用身体在都市水泥的森林中取暖,相拥着度过一个激情之夜……想到这里,苏阳不觉愉快地吹了下口哨。网络情缘,或说网络一夜情,他经历的并不算少,不过从来没有像此次这般顺利。在网上相识仅仅半个小时,朱素不但给他留了手机号、住址,甚至还发了照片。照片中的女子清新可人又韵味十足,对于苏阳这样的猎艳者,她的确是很吸引人的猎物。苏阳甚至在考虑是否有机会将彼此的关系延长些,比如可以做一对周末情人。苏阳想她应该会乐于接受他的提议,因为从...
