爸、妈:你们好!出国一年有余,一直没有给你们写过信.你们发来的几封邮件我看了很多遍,你们那种推心置腹,将我当作朋友并以交心的口气让我很感动,但同时也让我无所适从.所以我一直没有回信,我实在不知该如何下笔又从何说起.每次通电话的时候我也是敷敷衍衍,草草了事,似乎无话可说.但,这不代表我不记挂你们.我今年春节不回家了,原因已经在电话中讲清,这里就不再多说了。只是,以后我还回不回的得了家,都难说得很。因为我遇到一件事情,一件极怪诞,极荒谬,极难以置信的事情。这也是写这封电子邮件的原因。我知道你们听到后一定会笑我,笑我怎么还没有长大;你们也许还会骂我,骂我又在撒谎,找了如此一个荒谬的理由两年不回家在外面逍遥。但是,我要说,请你们相信你们的儿子一次,尽管他很不成器,自小就爱扯谎,到这么大也还不大懂事,也请你们相信我、你们唯一的儿子。这一次,我绝对没有撒谎。我说的每一个字都是...
Dear Enemyby Jean WebsterSTONE GATE, WORCESTER,MASSACHUSETTS,December 27.Dear Judy:Your letter is here. I have read it twice, and with amazement.

Letters of Two Bridesby Honore de BalzacTranslated by R. S. ScottDEDICATIONTo George SandYour name, dear George, while casting a reflected radiance on mybook, can gain no new glory from this page.

枚觉得自己有点爱帅恩。又或许是这里所有的白人男子。帅恩的淡定和孤独像萨克斯风,其他白人男子的优雅和热情又像爵士乐和电吉他,这些枚都喜欢。枚有时觉得那种黑色晚礼裙燕尾装玫瑰花高脚杯水晶项链的日子亦不太远了,总有一天她会是晚会的女皇。然而美梦也有中断的时候,就像一只自恋的将熟的苹果某一天会被不知哪来的一枪打落在地。一片绝壁。两个蠕动的黑影。下面那个是枚。五年之前她绝对想像不到自己会攀岩,在犹他州火红的纳瓦加岩上将自己的生命置于边缘。甚至不在乎什么时候什么样的一只手会把它拿走。"攀岩的时候记着看路," 帅恩Sean说过,"不要急着向上攀。停住的时候感受风。"枚知道此时此刻千尺之下有一群人正伸着脖子看着他们。她知道自己是这道风景线中绝美的点缀。就像一颗树上两只饱满的苹果,正因为有掉下去的可能,所以格外诱人。曾经很喜欢这样的万众瞩目,众人的担心汇成一股冉冉上升的风,只会让枚的手臂更...
Riders of the Purple Sageby Zane GreyCHAPTER I. LASSITERA sharp clip-crop of iron-shod hoofs deadened and died away, and clouds of yellow dust drifted from under the cottonwoods out over the sage.Jane Withersteen gazed down the wide purple slope with dreamy and troubled eyes. A rider had just left her and it was his message that held her thoughtful and almost sad, awaiting the churchmen who were coming to resent and attack her right to befriend a Gentile.She wondered if the unrest and strife th

——洪兵,军事科学院教授、大校、战略专家压力与动力之间可能只存在零点几微米的差距,而转化并非易事。当今时代需要你拥有“悲痛为力量”的能力。没有人能够压倒你,除了你自己,但是有的人、有的书可以帮助你,更好地认识你自己。——郭昕,盖洛普咨询有限公司总经理压力使人变形,动力使人积极进步,卓越的领导使压力变化为团队动力。《大兵别哭》就是一本这样教我们在艰难困苦中成为真正领导者的伟大著作。——吴瑜章,沃尔沃卡车大中国区总裁兼首席执行官压力在我们的生活中充当着一种奇特的角色,实际上很多人是在压力下成功和进步的,因为被动的学习和突破使得我们人类的懒惰天性受到制约;但是过度的压力也足以使我们崩溃或者变态。所以重要的是一种能够平衡压力的正面和负面作用的机制,它可以帮助我们走出我们自己,又能够实现我们自己。在进行压力管理方面,《大兵别哭》恰恰是这样一本对于管理者和身处压力之中的人们...
Two Poetsby Honore de BalzacTranslated by Ellen MarriageDEDICATIONTo Monsieur Victor Hugo,It was your birthright to be, like a Rafael or a Pitt, a great poet at an age when other men are children; it was your fate, the fate of Chateaubriand and of every man of genius, to struggle against jealousy skulking behind the columns of a newspaper, or crouching in the subterranean places of journalism. For this reason I desired that your victorious name should help to win a victory for this
