《数字知道答案》作者简介 对外汉语硕士,历任翻译、编辑、栏目策划等职,习惯于通过文字关注和思考这个世界,英文兼中文的专业背景造就了对比中西、整合精华的思维倾向,曾翻译出版过《我的生活与工作》、《效率的十二项原则》等管理学和励志类名著数部。一目了然的数字,返朴归真的人生 认识的人里,十有五六喜欢看《读者》,看《读者》的人,又十有八九喜欢看其中一个专门列举数字的栏目。不为什么,就为了那份一目了然。无需深入剖析,一切都在数字里。 看电视也一样。经济频道的数据分析类栏目,一向都很吸引眼球。他们的主持人想必也是相当轻松的吧,数字一出,深刻的结论立刻就水到渠成,不必来一番由表及里、逐层深入的启发引导。...

[ 我要留言 ] [ 返回书页 ] [ 返回目录 ] [ 繁体转换 ] [ 添加书签 ]新探案显贵的主顾福尔摩斯探案——新探案 "现在不碍事了,"这就是歇洛克·福尔摩斯先生的回答。 十年以来,当我第十次要求披露以下这段故事时,他这样地答复了我。于是我终于得到许可,把我的朋友一生中这段紧要的经历公诸于世。 福尔摩斯和我都有土耳其浴的癖好。在蒸气弥漫的更衣室里那舒坦懒散的气氛中,我总觉得他比在别的地方更近人情、更爱聊天一些。在北安普敦街浴室的楼上,有一个十分清静的角落,并排放着两只躺椅,而我的记事就从我们躺在这个地方开始,那是一九○二年九月三日。我问他可有什么令人感兴趣的案子没有。作为回答,他突然从裹着身子的被单里伸出他那瘦长而灵敏的胳臂,从挂在身旁的上衣内袋里掏出一个信封来。...
第三、反过来说,《三国演义》不只把通俗化了的高文典册放在一般人手里,还把一般人看的通俗读物放在知识分子乃至高级知识分子手里,使他们更有兴趣地了解了高文典册,使他们发现:那些典重文字竟还可以写成这样奇趣横生的通俗文字,通俗文字还能如此驰骋于神出鬼没想象不到的境界。这就使他们的眼界为之一宽,文风为之一变,甚至使没有读过陈寿《三国志》这样一部重要史书的人,因为读了《三国演义》,实际上没有什么重大的遗憾。而读过《三国志》的人,又会得到更多的启发。说话人当他们说“话说天下大势分久必合,合久必分”或者别的什么的时候,都不过是个微小人物奏献一点薄艺,以解决自己和家人生计的一种手段。自然,他们力求说得动人、叫座、赛过别人而又能避免官方的干涉和舆论的非难。不知道自己的一点卑微的欲求和活动,与天下、国家、历史、文化之类的大事有什么关系,不知道自己正在干一种伟大事业,是把高文典册的内...
by Charles DarwinNext ChapterChapter 1 - Variation Under DomesticationWHEN we look to the individuals of the same variety or sub-variety of our older cultivated plants and animals, one of the first points which strikes us, is, that they generally differ much more from each other, than do the individuals of any one species or variety in a state of nature. When we reflect on the vast diversity of the plants and animals which have been cultivated, and which have varied during all ages under the mo
Samuel Brohl & Companyby Victor CherbuliezCHAPTER IWere the events of this nether sphere governed by the calculus of probabilities, Count Abel Larinski and Mlle. Antoinette Moriaz would almost unquestionably have arrived at the end of their respective careers without ever having met. Count Larinski lived in Vienna, Austria; Mlle. Moriaz never had been farther from Paris than Cormeilles, where she went every spring to remain throughout the fine weather. Neither at Cormeilles nor at Paris had she
