第一部分前言(1)(图) 对于橄榄我们并不陌生,儿时懵懂视线中口衔橄榄枝的和平鸽,萦绕着成长记忆的那首空灵美妙的《橄榄树》……然而大多数国人,直到近些年才与橄榄有了亲密接触,这得归功于橄榄油。 我对橄榄油最初的印象来自国外健美比赛和拳击比赛,除了惊异于参赛者的体形、力量,更对那古铜色的、会发光的肌肤充满了好奇,原来,那是涂抹了橄榄油的缘故。用“百度”搜索一下“橄榄油”,有相关文章约240,000篇(也算是一个当红明星了),不过大多是广告。那什么是橄榄油?它有怎样的成分、性质、来源?有哪些产地?它在人类生活中扮演怎样的角色?言归正传。 翻开《牛津大词典》,橄榄油是一种多年生乔木——橄榄树的果实榨出的油。这种树有芳香的胶粘性的树脂,树叶的分布在单枝上成为奇数的羽状,性喜暖,春夏开花。橄榄油是一种纯天然产品,是真正的新鲜果汁中的油,因此当今医学界公认橄榄油是最益于健康的...

中国北部的游牧民族,多数是“逐水草而居”,流动迁徙,居无定所的。因此,期望这些游牧民族在建筑文化上有长足的发展,几乎是不可能的。 然而,崛起于松花江上的女真族有所不同。它是一种城塞部落民族,一种有领土意识且居有定所的半游牧半农业民族。在中国历史上修过长城的少数民族,就是女真族。女真族跟北京城的渊源很深,公元1153年,完颜亮正式把金的都城从东北的会宁府迁到燕京,改名金中都,从此北京开始成为中国的政治中心之一。 这个城塞部落民族建立的国家,在城市建筑上是卓有建树的。金中都的宫殿极其豪华,承袭了北宋崇尚奢丽纤巧的风格。金世宗在中都东北郊浚湖垒山修建的大宁宫行宫区,吸引了元世祖忽必烈,使这位纵横欧亚的马上皇帝为之心动,在版图辽阔的统治区域内,选中了金中都作为大元的首都,从此,奠定了北京作为元明清三个统一的大帝国的政治中心的地位。设想,如果女真族不是一个善于学习而且...

为写一个创作者心灵世界的思想和情感,故事采用倒叙的方式展开,从张爱玲到美国的婚后生活说起。一天,张爱玲收到国内寄来的一个箱子,里面是母亲的遗物,她睹物思人,记忆的闸门像泄洪般被撞开,随着她的回忆,读者被带入了上个世纪二十年代灯红酒绿的上海滩。张爱玲的一生不动声色地缓缓向大众掀开:她如何在一个沉腐败落的家庭里成长,她尖刻敏锐、细致入微的悲凉文风的形成过程,她与胡兰成昙花一现没有结果的苦涩爱情……最后闪回到她晚年在美国凄凉孤苦的生活状况。王蕙玲并不强调故事性,她抓住张爱玲每一个时期的生命细节,既像日记散文,更像绘画或音乐,丰实以生命的各种色彩,串联起的是心灵的韵律起伏。她行文走笔,字字珠玑,语言像春天里的花树,微风吹过,暗香浮动,满眼落英缤纷;又似秋夜枝头的寒露,晶莹剔透,彻骨冰凉,触目寒灰一片。...

If, however, we examine them in detail, as we might somepiece of poetry, or some picture, we shall find this common to them...

人活在世上,常常一辈子不知道自己为什么活着,更不知道自己为什么这样活着。这话说来有些惊世骇俗,但却符合相当一些人的生活状况。一位女作家曾在一篇文章中说:她终生都怀着“海的女儿”的情结。她的这一说法,曾引得一些读者找来安徒生童话《海的女儿》,以了解故事中到底有一个什么样的情结。“海的女儿”究竟是怎样一个情结,她为什么会形成这个情结?关于这一点,我们没有看到她本人的任何陈述,也许她早已明晰其中的原委,也许她至今也不清楚。她或许会将之归因于童年时代阅读的这个童话,从那时起,“海的女儿”情结就成为一粒根深蒂固的种子。然而,在这个美丽的故事中究竟蕴藏着什么,为什么它会生长出影响并支配一个成熟女性终其一生的重大情结?...
45 放学后,我穿过空空荡荡的操场,突然看到校门口围了一大群女生。 难道是商店在免费赠送化妆品吗?-_- 我加快步子走过去,如果是LANE之类的新品试用,错过可就有违作为女孩的本性了。 _ O_O!!! 贤成???? 我揉揉眼睛,没错,被那群女生包围在中间的人不是派送员——是贤成,看起来一副疲于应对的无奈表情,-_- 那些女生们还在那里叽叽喳喳地围住贤成不放。 “请问你是哪个星座的?”*o* “你在哪个学校上学啊?能告诉我们吗?”*o* “能不能把你的地址和电话号码告诉我啊?”*o* “帅哥,给我签个名吧。”*o* >o<;你们都走开!!贤成是我的! 我快步跑了过去,用游泳的姿势拨开人群,向我的王子游过去。 贤成也看到了我,用同样的方法从人群中挤了出来。 “快走了啦~!” 我们两个的手刚碰到一起,就互相紧紧抓住向外冲去,好像是喜剧片里的逃...

Roundabout to Bostonby William Dean HowellsDuring the four years of my life in Venice the literary intention waspresent with me at all times and in all places. I wrote many things inverse, which I sent to the magazines in every part of the English-speaking world, but they came unerringly back to me, except in threeinstances only, when they were kept by the editors who finally printedthem. One of these pieces was published in the Atlantic Monthly; anotherin Harpers Magazine; the third was got
