第一部分 广州不相信眼泪第一章 广州不相信眼泪三月的广州已经很热,相当于家乡五月的天气。街上来来往往的女人们都打扮得性感暴露,衣着时尚,一个个花枝招展。许多地方都在破土动工修建大厦商场,空气中充盈着一种浓浓的泥土气息。广州的变化真正称得上是日新月异,头天你看到的一块空地,也许在第二天醒来已耸立成了一栋辉煌的大楼。头天你邂逅的一位清纯少女,也许第二天再见到时已变成了个风骚放荡的风尘女子。天桥上,一位衣裳褴褛没有双腿的白发老人在拉着二胡,面前的破瓷盆里零零星星有些角币,旁边还放了一个几乎绝种了的搪瓷茶杯,上面隐隐约约印着一行红字:为人民服务。只要不是雨天,每次经过时我都能见到他,他从不主动找人乞讨,只是用枯瘦的双手,陈旧的二胡,拉了一曲又一曲。老人今天奏的是《梁祝》,他闭着双眼,神情专注,乐声如诉如泣,从指间流出游离在天桥上,与周围的一切显得极不协调。路人从他的身边不...
A Simpletonby Charles ReadePREFACE.It has lately been objected to me, in studiously courteous terms ofcourse, that I borrow from other books, and am a plagiarist. Tothis I reply that I borrow facts from every accessible source, andam not a plagiarist. The plagiarist is one who borrows from ahomogeneous work: for such a man borrows not ideas only, but theirtreatment. He who borrows only from heterogeneous works is not aplagiarist. All fiction, worth a button, is founded on facts; and...
NICIAS?-413 B.C.by Plutarchtranslated by John DrydenCRASSUS, in my opinion, may most properly be set against Nicias, andthe Parthian disaster compared with that in Sicily. But here it willbe well for me to entreat the reader, in all courtesy, not to thinkthat I contend with Thucydides in matters so pathetically, vividly,and eloquently, beyond all imitation, and even beyond himself,...
我和刘好到了那儿,树下已站着一个女人。女人圆鼓鼓的,似乎一不小心就会爆裂开。刘好盯着女人手里的时尚杂志,惊喜如蝴蝶一样从眼里飞舞出来。刘好说,没错,就是她。我瞧不上刘好这软骨样,故意说,怎么像个烤红薯?刘好摸出一块钱,拍在我手心,去!买根冰糖葫芦,在那边等我。刘好大步走过去,与女人比比划划地说着。我知道他们在说什么,肯定是这样的: 刘好问,这本杂志是买的吗? 女人说,不,别人送我的。 刘好问,你的朋友干什么工作? 女人说,司机。 刘好大喜,你是杨倩吧。 女人说,你肯定是刘好。 刘好把约会搞得跟特务接头一样。我第一次听刘好和女人对黑话,差点儿把鼻子笑飞。那是个一脸雀斑的女人,她说刘好的这个点子蛮有意思的。刘好说男人的想象力是女人激发出来的,他第一次看见她的照片就爱上了她,他说天底下没有比她更漂亮的女人了。说着,刘好抓住女人的手。可女人突然抽出来,...
The Commonwealth of Oceanaby James Harrington1656JANOTTI, the most excellent describer of the Commonwealth of Venice, divides the whole series of government into two times or periods: the one ending with the liberty of Rome, which was the course or empire, as I may call it, of ancient prudence, first discovered to mankind by God himself in the fabric of the commonwealth of Israel, and afterward picked out of his footsteps in nature, and unanimously followed by the Greeks and Romans; the other b

A Thief in the Nightby E. W. HornungOut of ParadiseIf I must tell more tales of Raffles, I can but back to our earliest days together, and fill in the blanks left by discretion in existing annals. In so doing I may indeed fill some small part of an infinitely greater blank, across which you may conceive me to have stretched my canvas for the first frank portrait of my friend. The whole truth cannot harm him now. I shall paint in every wart. Raffles was a villain, when all is written; it is
蒋介石,生于1887年,卒于1975年,将近百年的悠悠岁月,记录的不仅是一个人的生老病死、喜怒忧乐,更是一个民族、一个时代的悲欢离合。作为近现代史中一个复杂而充满神秘色彩的人物,蒋介石给我们留下的是不尽的言说和难释的谜团。正是因为有了蒋介石,才有了曾经煊赫无比的“四大家族”——“蒋宋孔陈”。作为“四大家族”毋庸置疑的领军人物,蒋介石的才能和野心是不可忽视的。在中国传统文化背景下成长起来的蒋介石,“公十一岁,读《春秋》、《左传》。”“十六岁,赴岩溪村从毛思诚温习《左传》,圈点《纲鉴》,应童子试。”之后才开始接受新式教育。所以从秦始皇的“天下事无小大,皆决于上”,到董仲舒“春秋大一统者,天地之常经,古今之通谊”的政治理论,都给蒋介石留下了极深的印象。所以有了他以后政治生涯中的独裁统治,即“一个党,一个主义,一个领袖”。而且,统治者要选择后继者,不是采用西方民主的选举制,而是...
