DION408?-353 B.C.by Plutarchtranslated by John DrydenIF it be true, Sosius Senecio, that, as Simonides tells us-"Of the Corinthians Troy does not complain"for having taken part with the Achaeans in the siege, because the Trojans also had Corinthians (Glaucus, who sprang from Corinth) fighting bravely on their side, so also it may be fairly said that neither Romans nor Greeks can quarrel with the Academy, each nation being equally represented in the followin
Chapter XIII of Volume III (Chap. 55)A FEW days after this visit, Mr. Bingley called again, and alone. His friend had left him that morning for London, but was to return home in ten days time. He sat with them above an hour, and was in remarkably good spirits. Mrs. Bennet invited him to dine with them; but, with many expressions of concern, he confessed himself engaged elsewhere.``Next time you call,' said she, ``I hope we shall be more lucky.'He should be particularly happy at any time, &c.
The Vicar of Wakefieldby Oliver GoldsmithA TALESupposed to be written by HimselfSperate miseri, cavete faelicesADVERTISEMENTThere are an hundred faults in this Thing, and an hundred things might be said to prove them beauties. But it is needless. A book may be amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity. The hero of this piece unites in himself the three greatest characters upon earth; he is a priest, an husbandman, and the father of a family. He is drawn as
Love of Life and other storiesby Jack LondonLOVE OF LIFE"This out of all will remain -They have lived and have tossed:So much of the game will be gain,Though the gold of the dice has been lost."THEY limped painfully down the bank, and once the foremost of thetwo men staggered among the rough-strewn rocks. They were tiredand weak, and their faces had the drawn expression of patiencewhich comes of hardship long endured. They were heavily burdened...

华盖翻飞,旌旗晃动,滚滚尘沙中祭祀的仪仗影影绰绰,不知年代的古观象台……熊熊烈火中怀抱琵琶的曼妙飞天腾空而起……一片时而葱绿,时而荒凉的原野,空旷的原野上散落着大大小小的石头,石头上凿刻着一道道永远都看不懂的经文……已经不知道是多少回了,大约从记事起我就一直做着这个奇怪的梦。当我从梦中醒来的时候,火车已经停靠在古镇的站台上,我迫不及待地下了车,深深地吸了一口这清新湿润的空气,稍稍舒展了一下远途劳顿的筋骨,一阵温暖和幸福的感觉在全身的每一个细胞里洋溢着,好象脱胎换骨一样。远处傍晚的斜阳还在留恋着雍懒的山谷,农舍周围散漫着薄薄的炊烟,田地、房屋、树木、小路一切都仿佛是我临走时的样子。我信步朝祖屋的方向走去……...

Under thelittle apple-tree, Spring seemed busy, and told his tale from one ofthe branches which hung fresh and blooming, and covered with...
哈佛的故事可以追溯到17世纪的“五月花号”事件。现在的人们也许很难想象一场宗教纷争引发的教徒逃亡事件在欧洲具有了划时代的意义。“五月花号”事件不仅影响了英国国内的政治,也使遥远的北美大陆发生了深刻的变化——正是那样一群怀着朴素人文追求的清教徒才成就了哈佛大学360年的传奇。从某种意义上说,哈佛大学是16世纪宗教改革过程中结出的一朵美丽的错误之花。 作为美国最早的私立大学,哈佛在建校的一个半世纪内基本仿效欧洲的高等教育模式,尤其借鉴了英国剑桥、牛津大学的办学经验,主要是以培养牧师、律师和官员为目标,学生几乎没有自由选择课程的自由;19世纪初,“学术自由”冲击了传统课业设计,自由选修课程的制度得到支持。1841年,哈佛正式实行选课制,但在保守势力的反对下很快又有所倒退。直到南北战争后,美国资本主义的发展使科技人才地位得以提高,哈佛才再次走在了高校改革的前列。哈佛后来成为美国...
The Cask of Amontilladoby Edgar Allen PoeThe thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I bestcould, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge. You, whoso well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, thatI gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged;this was a point definitely settledbut the very definitivenesswith which it was resolved, precluded the idea of risk. I must notonly punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when...
