但是换个角度来说,就算写完了这本厚达近千页的书,我也知道大声呼唤化妆品行业的真实和诚信仍然是一场无休无止的战争,而且我知道,我永远赢不了这场战争。这些年来化妆品行业有了很大的改变,我相信我的所作所为尽了一份绵薄之力,但现在仍有数不清的虚假宣传,劣质产品层出不穷,误导观念的广告或空洞的承诺到处都是,还有无孔不入丧失职业道德的“科学”研究。更糟糕的是爱美女性被诱导白白浪费了数十亿美元,可是希望的梦想却永远不会实现——效果至少没有化妆品公司宣传的那样美好。为什么我又坚持下来了呢?老实说我也不知道,大概是我太热爱这份事业了吧。我每个月都会收到好几千封读者来信,我丝毫不敢懈怠解决大家的问题。我也有一个优秀的研究团队,他们也一直致力于追求准确和真相。我仍然愿意做一名化妆品警察,与大家分享我掌握的信息,方便你买到真正适合自己的美容产品。...
Men of Ironby Ernie Howard PyleINTRODUCTIONThe year 1400 opened with more than usual peacefulness in England. Only a few months before, Richard IIweak, wicked, and treacherous had been dethroned, and Henry IV declared King in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting but for a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful manas justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those daysand though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many
Down the Mother Lode - Pioneer Tales of CaliforniaBy Vivia HemphillForewordSo many inquiries have been made as to exactly where, and what is the "Mother Lode"!The geologist and the historian agree as to its location and composition, but the old miners and "sojourners" of the vanished golden era give strangely different versions of it. Some of these are here set down, if not all for your enlightenment at least, I hope, for your entertainment.That is, after all, the principal aim of these tales o
莎士比亚,一个多么煊赫的名字,人类历史上少有的文学天才。面对《莎士比亚全集》里的37部剧本,两首长诗和154首十四行诗,我们只有顶礼膜拜,献上最热烈的赞美:雄伟、壮丽、丰富,堪与大自然媲美;广阔而又细腻有如人的心灵;充沛的语言像阳光一样普照万物……然而我们的语言太贫乏了,而莎士比亚是说不尽的。 莎士比亚出生于英国小城斯特拉福,他的父亲是一位手套商人。少年时代的莎士比亚并没有受过良好的教育。然而,在这个孩子身上还是展现出了某种特别的天赋,那就是他对于自己所生活的世界以及周围每一事物的好奇。这种天赋在他日后施展他的戏剧才华时起了极大的作用:小城的社会背景、乡下的传统和迷信生活、少年时代曾耳闻目睹的节日和民间娱乐方式,以及历代国王贵族的传说和故事,这一切都被莎士比亚容纳进了他那几乎无所不包的艺术世界之中。今天,我们常为莎士比亚的天才所惊叹,惊叹他何以能创造出如此一个深...

FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENWHAT THE MOON SAWby Hans Christian AndersenINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONIT is a strange thing, when I feel most fervently and most deeply,my hands and my tongue seem alike tied, so that I cannot rightlydescribe or accurately portray the thoughts that are rising within me;and yet I am a painter; my eye tells me as much as that, and all my...
北京的早晨,天亮得很早,天空总是纯净的深蓝。 欧阳琪不知自己道是不是因为在某个梦境里遭遇了这样一片让人无法抗拒的纯净,才会义无返顾得来到这个离家很远的城市。不同的人,不同的事,流光回转。 当时我就是这样心无杂念地走在学子路上的。那年我大二。四月的校园里,花开得很艳。名洋说我就是那个他心目中穿一席白色长裙,款款经过球场,在被人突兀地砸到球后,利落地带球上篮,然后优雅离开的那个女子。我想了想,还是栽在他手上吧。第一部分第1节:四月早上名洋他们去机器人小组开会了。欧阳琪还在宿舍睡觉的时候,名洋就给她发了个笑脸过来,说,“老婆,还睡着吗,我要去开会了。”欧阳琪躺在床上对着手机不自觉地笑起来。名洋总是这样,他只会在短信里叫她老婆;说到他想见她,特别想,然后跑到女生宿舍楼里看她一眼就走,就这样。欧阳一想到他在她眼前,温文的总不见波澜的眼神,她就会心地笑起来,想他真是个内敛...
The Amateur Cracksmanby E. W. HornungTO A. C. D. THIS FORM OF FLATTERYTHE AMATEUR CRACKSMANTHE IDES OF MARCHIIt was half-past twelve when I returned to the Albany as a last desperate resort. The scene of my disaster was much as I had left it. The baccarat-counters still strewed the table, with the empty glasses and the loaded ash-trays. A window had been opened to let the smoke out, and was letting in the fog instead. Raffles himself had merely discarded his dining jacket for one of his inn
