An International Episodeby Henry JamesPART IFour years agoin 1874two young Englishmen had occasion to goto the United States. They crossed the ocean at midsummer,and, arriving in New York on the first day of August,were much struck with the fervid temperature of that city.Disembarking upon the wharf, they climbed into one of those hugehigh-hung coaches which convey passengers to the hotels,and with a great deal of bouncing and bumping, took their...
虽然,你真是个让老师生气的学生,但是,老师还是发现了潜在你身上的优点:尊敬老师,聪明机灵。你常说自己笨,学不起。你常说想跟小朋友们一起玩。那么老师告诉你,××,要做一个让其他小朋友喜爱的同学,首先要自己去爱他们。老师不相信你笨,因为真正笨的人说不出这样的话,同意老师的观点吗?老师期待着你的进步。你其实很聪明,这学期,老师很高兴看到你不再那么贪吃,校门口的小摊前没有你的身影了。如果你上课能专心听讲、独立完成作业、有错及时改正,相信你会进步的。老师期待着你的进步。你是位聪明的学生,你想和好成绩交朋友吗?那上课可要专心听讲,不能做小动作,最重要的是不能随便旷课,你能做到吗?老师相信你可以的,对吗?那好成绩就会跟你交朋友,老师期待这你的进步。...
祭墨神殿。 “无边的血色,在南方,在梦萦城外,我看到虚幻的王者陷于困境,残暴的恶魔吞噬生灵……我看到族长你身受重伤,倒在魔怪身前……四周是赤色的火焰,照亮天地,淋漓的鲜血,流成长长的河流……” 卜者头上蒸腾着汗气,紧闭着眼睛,全身激烈的抖动着。空旷的大殿中充满他因竭尽全力而显得有些怪异的声音。 十余个半透明的人形站在旁边,穿着与卜者相同的古典衣著。震惊之情溢于言表。他们散漫的站着,却发出绝强的气势。他们只是冥灵。三千年前,祭墨族不满姬氏天帝的统治,全族皆反。他们随着祭墨族长云之君征战天下,他们的名字,让天帝也时时从恶梦中惊醒。今天,就算本领已及不上原来的百分之一,却没有人敢怀疑他们的力量。而让他们这样震惊的,会是什么呢?...
司马迁是个大历史学家,大文学家。他和他的千秋名著《史记》是个庞大的存在,耸立在中国历史和文学的大道上,没有谁能绕得过去,也没有谁和谁的作品能取代。他的伟业,他空前绝后的文采,他对中国历史文化无人可取代的卓越贡献,还有他作为男人遭遇的旷世屈辱,既让人景仰、诚服和击节赞叹,又让人心生悲悯。如何穿越上千年的时光走进他所处的时代,走进他宽广、博大而又困惑痛苦的内心世界,对任何一个学者,任何一个作家,都是一次巨大的考验。我从他写的《报任安书》启程。这篇与卢梭的《忏悔录》一样具有痛彻肺腑的强烈内省意识,但却比《忏悔录》早问世上千年的奇文,读来回肠荡气,是我早就心里向往的。文章写得确切,深沉,锋芒内敛,透露出他的悲愤,他的自抑,他对每一件事的认真和执著,也道出了他的悲凉,他的无奈。贴心贴肺地读这篇东西,你会感到他注定是要被人阉割的,剩下的只是时间迟早的问题。当然,当那一刀割下...
Washington and his Comrades in ArmsA Chronicle of the War of Independenceby George WrongPREFATORY NOTEThe author is aware of a certain audacity in undertaking, himself a Briton, to appear in a company of American writers on American history and above all to write on the subject of Washington. If excuse is needed it is to be found in the special interest of the career of Washington to a citizen of the British Commonwealth of Nations at the present time and in the urgency with which the editor an
ReadingWith a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits,all men would perhaps become essentially students and observers, forcertainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike. Inaccumulating property for ourselves or our posterity, in founding afamily or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal; but indealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change noraccident. The oldest Egyptian or Hindoo philosopher raised a corner...
