1989年7月23号,在英国伦敦,一声婴孩嘹亮的啼哭向世人宣布一个魔法师的诞生。这就是丹尼尔·雷德克利弗,未来的哈利·波特,令全世界着迷且为之疯狂的魔法师。小丹尼尔眨着蓝色的眼睛,好奇地打量着这个世界。“这个世界是美丽的。”丹尼尔的父亲对流着口水的丹尼尔说道。丹尼尔似懂非懂地眨巴着眼睛,惹来周围的护士一阵笑声,糨褓之中的丹尼尔很活泼,他不像周围的小孩子那样吃了睡睡了吃,也很少啼哭,那时的丹尼尔已经懂得美丑了,每当有漂亮的护士走过,丹尼尔就伸出他肉乎乎的小手,口中发出含糊的咿呀声,仿佛在说“我喜欢你,你抱抱我啊。”假如漂亮的小护士抱起丹尼尔,他便咧开嘴,无声地笑了,护士如果太忙而没有时间理会他时,丹尼尔便露出沮丧的样子,垂头丧气地躺在那里,仿佛是一只很不开心的小乌龟,那样的神情常常是逗得护士们大笑不止。那段时间,丹尼尔成了医院的小天使,很多医生和护士都会来给他打个招呼,丹...

The Poet at the Breakfast Tableby Oliver Wendell HolmesPREFACE.In this, the third series of Breakfast-Table conversations, a slightdramatic background shows off a few talkers and writers, aided bycertain silent supernumeraries. The machinery is much like that ofthe two preceding series. Some of the characters must seem like oldacquaintances to those who have read the former papers. As I readthese over for the first time for a number of years, I notice one...
The Amateur Cracksmanby E. W. HornungTO A. C. D. THIS FORM OF FLATTERYTHE AMATEUR CRACKSMANTHE IDES OF MARCHIIt was half-past twelve when I returned to the Albany as a last desperate resort. The scene of my disaster was much as I had left it. The baccarat-counters still strewed the table, with the empty glasses and the loaded ash-trays. A window had been opened to let the smoke out, and was letting in the fog instead. Raffles himself had merely discarded his dining jacket for one of his inn

2000年3月10日凌晨,一场绵绵的春雨伴着轰隆隆的春雷声降临到人口密集的西原市。黑沉沉的天空被凄厉的闪电一次次无情劈开,窒息的空气中弥漫着尘土的味道。电闪雷鸣虽然阵势很吓人,但洒下大地的雨水并不多。尽管如此,久旱的城市还是如饥似渴地吞咽着微薄的水量,生命的迹象在湿润的泥土中一点一点伸展出来。灰蒙蒙的街道和尘埃覆盖的树木被冲洗出一丝春天的颜色,柳枝尖绿色的小嫩芽拼命挤了出来,迎春花黄色的小花苞也争相绽放,预示着春天万物复苏的勃勃景象。老百姓手捧着甘甜的春雨喜笑颜开,天还没亮,街头巷尾就已经人头涌动。大家激动地奔走相告,有人义愤填膺,有人感慨万分,有人热泪盈眶,都在议论这场来得非常及时的绵绵春雨。一场再寻常不过的春雨被淳朴的老百姓赋予了生机勃勃、欣欣向荣的寓意,其实只是一种自然的发自内心的借物抒情,表达了百姓们对这座城市美好未来的憧憬和希望。...
