Kenilworthby Walter ScottINTRODUCTIONA certain degree of success, real or supposed, in the delineationof Queen Mary, naturally induced the author to attempt somethingsimilar respecting "her sister and her foe," the celebratedElizabeth. He will not, however, pretend to have approached thetask with the same feelings; for the candid Robertson himselfconfesses having felt the prejudices with which a Scottishman istempted to regard the subject; and what so liberal a historian...
The Golden Sayings of EpictetusIAre these the only works of Providence within us? What wordssuffice to praise or set them forth? Had we but understanding,should we ever cease hymning and blessing the Divine Power, bothopenly and in secret, and telling of His gracious gifts? Whetherdigging or ploughing or eating, should we not sing the hymn toGod:Great is God, for that He hath given us such instruments to tillthe ground withal:...
在我关于电视的研究中,我最想做的,形象地说,是进入人们的头脑,以便确定人们在使用媒体的过程中形成的思维自觉性,并且进一步理解这种思维自觉性在电视使用文化中的仪式性意义(ritual significance)。在此过程中,我试图更好地理解电视及其日常节目所富含的广泛而深刻的意义在影响和形成人们的思维自觉性过程中发挥的结构性作用。我试图了解电视收视如何真正地成为人们日常的习惯性实践,并且了解参与这种实践与使用其他媒介相比,从长远看对人们到底意味着什么。我的研究持续了多年,在此过程中我进行过深度访谈,和人一同收看电视,完成访谈日志,并随机地与上班的、赋闲在家的以及其他的人进行交谈。我发现我所研究的人中有三分之一的人每天都连续不断地收看电视。他们说,看电视已经成为他们工作之余用来放松和娱乐的主要方式。...
第一卷 世事如棋此为始 第001章 生活自来多磨砺“你究竟有几个好妹妹,为何每个妹妹都那么憔悴,你究竟有几个好妹妹,啊~~为何每个妹妹都嫁给眼泪?啊~~~我的哥哥你心里头爱的是谁……”马路对面的发廊门口的音箱,反来复去不断地质问着每一个路人,那路人便如霜打了的茄子,来去匆匆,没有人停下来回答一声。天气实在是太热,道路两道高大的杨树都无精打采地垂拉着叶子,偶尔有一丝风吹过,才懒洋洋地摆动几下,这是九五年的夏天,今年的夏天显得异乎寻常的闷热。张胜坐在树荫下,和对面一个中年男人正在下棋。张胜穿着朴素,上衣看起来象件破旧的电工服,头发比较长、一根根倔强地挺立着,相貌长的挺帅,可惜那衣着和发型把这唯一的优点都给遮住了,使这刚刚二十四岁的年轻人显得有点邋遢。...
《山海经》里曾说:当初盘古开天以后,终于死去后,头东脚西平躺在大地上他的头部高高隆起,就是现在的山东境内气势雄伟的东岳泰山;他的两脚趾朝天就是现在陕西省境内群峰挺立的西岳华山;他的肚子往上高挺,就是现在河南省境内风景秀丽的中岳嵩山;他的左臂在身体的南边,就是现在湖南省境内重峦叠嶂的南岳衡山;他的右臂在身体的北边,就是山西省境内气象万千的北岳恒山。 他的寓意也就是这五座山是一个整体,是一个人身上的部分,是不可分割的。这五座山所在的省份和一马平川的河北及陕西几乎是最能代表中国的省份,这六个省几乎是中华民族五千年文明的缩影。虽然中国的地域特色很重,光是叫东西南北的省份就有十几个(东有山东、广东;西有陕西、山西、广西、江西、西藏;南有湖南、河南、云南、海南;北有河北、湖北。),这其中东西南北所对应的四省也分别是汉民族传统势力范围最早的边界,也是春秋战国时...
The Argonauticaby Apollonius RhodiusINTRODUCTIONMuch has been written about the chronology of Alexandrian literature and the famous Library, founded by Ptolemy Soter, but the dates of the chief writers are still matters of conjecture. The birth of Apollonius Rhodius is placed by scholars at various times between 296 and 260 B.C., while the year of his death is equally uncertain. In fact, we have very little information on the subject. There are two "lives" of Apollonius in the Scholia, both d
