《太空烽火》作者:[美]斯蒂文·莱哈德第一章沉在半透明的绿色浴缸底部的人多半已经死了。他静静地躺在缸底,睁着眼睛,面色安详,还在飘动着的黑色的头发在水底荡漾开来,像一圈黑色的涟漪。翡翠色的灯光为他洒下了一层圣洁的光环。突然,一个小小的气泡从他的鼻孔里冒了出来,气泡越来越大,最后终于挣扎着浮出了水面。接着,又是一个更大的气泡冲出了浴缸的水面,飘了一会儿便爆裂开来。气泡喷泉一样地涌了出来,水面上沸腾了,接着奇迹出现了。在水面的中央,和气泡同时浮出水面的是奥林·托勒的头。他长长地吐出一口气后,便像在海底沉睡了多年的巨鲸一般,贪婪地呼吸着新鲜的空气。两只宽厚的手伸出了水面,把深色眼睛周围的水珠拨掉,接着把如丝般的头发上的水珠甩去。托勒从洁白的大理石浴缸里摸出一只手表,凑到自己的脸前。“六分钟!”他喜出望外地大叫了起来,“又是一个新记录。”...

THE COMPARISON OF POMPEY WITH AGESILAUSby Plutarchtranslated by John DrydenTHUS having drawn out the history of the lives of Agesilaus andPompey, the next thing is to compare them; and in order to this, totake a cursory view, and bring together the points in which theychiefly disagree; which are these. In the first place, Pompeyattained to all his greatness and glory by the fairest and justest...
Mark TwainThe Adventures of Tom SawyerPREFACEMOST of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent among children and slaves in the West at

《最后的圣殿骑士》是一部节奏紧凑,画面跳跃的惊悚佳作……它带给读者的是一次完美的阅读体验,《达·芬奇密码》只是开了个头,《最后的圣殿骑士》则把故事讲完了。——英国《星期日快报》无隙可入的情节,引人窒息的跌宕起伏以及令人目瞪口呆的火爆场面几乎充斥着全书的每一页……不仅如此,《最后的圣殿骑士》涉及到的爆炸性话题,必定会引发大家经久不息的探讨。——美国巴诺书城《最后的圣殿骑士》 序《最后的圣殿骑士》 内容简介纽约大都会博物馆“梵冈史前古展”的幕之夜,名圣殿士装扮的蒙面人突袭而入,大肆掠夺财宝,乎杀死了所场之人。为了回这批无价宝,美国联邦调查局协同梵蒂冈派来的使节展开了对这四名骑士的大范围追捕,然而疑犯却接二连三地于非命。这场看似单纯的劫似乎暗重重玄机。...
大约是2002年的夏天,一位很年轻的朋友跟我谈起了周正毅。我几乎是下意识地接了一句:这个人快要出事了。那个时候的周正毅,正是香港娱乐界中红得发紫的新闻人物,是国内富豪榜上的“上海首富”。一年之后,当周正毅、刘金宝事件又一次让所有人张口结舌的时候,这位由于工作关系与周正毅颇有些接触的朋友很好奇地问我,你当初怎么知道周正毅要出事了?旋即,他似乎自己找到了答案:是的,这家伙的确太高调了。按照这位朋友的理解,正是“高调”——这种在中国文化中最需要避讳的个人性格,导致了周正毅的毁灭。不幸得很,对于中国最新一代“富人”们,这恰恰是一种错误的理解。真实的逻辑可能恰好相反。不是“高调”导致了他们的毁灭,而是即将毁灭的处境导致了他们的高调。就周正毅而言,当他从地底下突然冒出来开始频频曝光,并“不经意”地将他“上海首富”名声出口转内销的时候,正是他最缺钱的时候。换句话说,获得某种“富...
