Rhymes a la Modeby Andrew LangBALLADE DEDICATORYTO MRS. ELTON OF WHITE STAUNTONThe painted Briton built his mound,And left his celts and clay,On yon fair slope of sunlit groundThat fronts your garden gay;The Roman came, he bore the sway,He bullied, bought, and sold,Your fountain sweeps his works awayBeside your manor old!But still his crumbling urns are foundWithin the window-bay,Where once he listened to the soundThat lulls you day by day; -...

顾客:“给我一个深海鲨鱼堡的那个套餐”服务员:“厄……先生,不好意思,没有鲨鱼堡,深海鳕鱼堡可以吗?”顾客:“啊……没有啦,那就来那个鳕鱼堡吧”(心里还很不情愿)服务员:“.……”(靠,你怎么不要鲸鱼堡呢)服务员:“欢迎光临”顾客:“请问大包的劲爆鸡米花有多大?”服务员:“这么大”(给她指了指)顾客:“中的呢?”服务员:“这么大”(我又指了指)顾客:“那好吧,给我来个土豆泥”服务员:……(别拦着我,让我下去抽她!!!)早上上班坐地铁,人多特别挤! 旁边有一个女孩子长得非常卡哇伊正在发短信,我无意看了一眼发现她写道“今天车上人很多,很挤” 一会儿我想起个事自己笑了几声。一会儿无意回头一看,看到这个女孩继续写道“旁边还站着一个SB”...
我知道,在外人的眼里我是个傻逼,我不知道的是,从什么时候开始我成了外人眼里的傻逼。这个问题一直困扰着我,让我毫无半点心思去反思一下我目前的生活。 我的生活最近显得很狼狈,你看,外面的阳光多好,蓝天,绿草,花朵一样招展在马路上的姑娘,无疑春天已经来了,而我还穿着那件从买来以后就没进过洗衣机的纯黑色的羽绒服坐在小区楼底下脏了吧唧的长椅子上抽烟,仿佛我刚进城。 我已经很久没抽过柔和型的七星了,大概有三四个月了吧。三四个月以前,蚊子跑到我的家里来,抽着我新买的一条七星,只抽了两口,她便咳嗽不止,皱着眉头拍了拍我的肩膀,充满忧郁地问我:“张元儿,你这烟里裹的别不是柴火吧?”说完了,她极认真地撕开一支烟去检查了一通,再看我的时候一脸便秘的表情。那条烟我抽都没抽,等蚊子一走我转脸就给楼底下收发室老头送去了,那老头抽了半辈子大重九,嘬了一口我买的七星之后精神大振,“好抽,真...
Chapter II of Volume III (Chap. 44)ELIZABETH had settled it that Mr. Darcy would bring his sister to visit her the very day after her reaching Pemberley; and was consequently resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning. But her conclusion was false; for on the very morning after their own arrival at Lambton, these visitors came. They had been walking about the place with some of their new friends, and were just returned to the inn to dress themselves for dining with the

1刚刚进入秋天的时候,我的好朋友文路突然消失了,带着她所有的痛苦和欢乐,来不及和身边的人们告别,就匆匆踏入另一个世界——谁也无法知晓是否真的人间天堂的遥远国度。得到这个消息,我不知道自己怎样下的山,如何离开了张家界。回到深圳,走进属于自己的宁静小屋,木然地倒在沙发里,一支接一支地抽着烟,长时间沉溺于过去的岁月里,忘了白天,也忘了黑夜。醒来的时候,我仍然清晰地看到自己和文路肩并肩,沿着海边细软的沙滩漫步,轻风吹来,我们的头发和衣裙随之飘扬。待我彻底睁开双眼,太阳透过窗帘的缝隙洒进来,七彩光柱里,唯有尘埃在不息地飞舞。楼下的花草、树木、晨练的人们、游走的保安依然如昨。这是一个如此真实的世界!可是,文路再也不会回来了,我们唯有在梦里才能相见。...
我绝不会犹疑与人,甚至是与女孩子谈论这问题——在这本病历中,性的问题将被公开而坦白地讨论,性器官与性功能有适当的、科学的名称。在1895~1896年期间,我发表了一些关于歇斯底里的病源学观点和形成过程的观点,时至今日,我在这里提供一个详细的病例记录,用以证实那些观点。为了减少可能引起的问题,以免节外生枝,我特作此绪论,先对我采取的步骤和方法进行必要的说明。我这些年的研究心得,还没有经过其他专家的验证,其中有些内容未免惊世骇俗。将其发表,的确有些草率。不过,我现在还要做一件同样草率的事,就是发表这些作为理论基础的资料。我肯定会遭到来自各方面的非议,比如我可能会被指责对病人的情况根本没有摸清楚,被指责为擅自将病人的隐私公开,侵犯了病人的隐私权,这些非议尽管借口不同,其险恶的居心却是相同的。因此,我干脆放弃了和解的努力,而对这些飞短流长不予理睬。...

Personal Memoirs of P.H.Sheridan V1 of 2by Philip Henry SheridanPREFACEWhen, yielding to the solicitations of my friends, I finally decidedto write these Memoirs, the greatest difficulty which confronted mewas that of recounting my share in the many notable events of thelast three decades, in which I played a part, without entering toofully into the history of these years, and at the same time withoutgiving to my own acts an unmerited prominence. To what extent I have...
