But her conclusion was false; for on the very morning after their own arrival at Lambton, these visitors came. They had been walking about the place with some of their new friends, and were just returned to the inn to dress themselves for dining with the

The more oneconsiders this prodigious versatility of form, the more overwhelming...
THE MYSTERIOUS PORTRAITPART INowhere did so many people pause as before the little picture-shop inthe Shtchukinui Dvor. This little shop contained, indeed, the mostvaried collection of curiosities. The pictures were chieflyoil-paintings covered with dark varnish, in frames of dingy yellow.Winter scenes with white trees; very red sunsets, like ragingconflagrations, a Flemish boor, more like a turkey-cock in cuffs thana human being, were the prevailing subjects. To these must be added a...
[秋 - 巴金]一个月以前省城附近有过几天混战。城门关了三天。我家也落过炮弹,大家惊扰了好一阵,又算平安无事了。我们现在又过着太平日子。不过近来我实在疲乏得很,遇到的全是不如意的事情。姑母因五叔在居丧期中将喜儿收房,三叔又不加阻止,心中有些不快,去年重阳在我家遇到四婶与陈姨太吵架,听了些闲言冷语,回家后很不高兴,以后便托病不再来我家。二妹走后,三叔虽不愿将此事对外发表,亦未深加追究,但是他在陈克家面前丢了脸,心中非常不痛快,他常发脾气,身体也不及从前了。我自海儿死后,心中若有所失,胃疾愈而复发,时时扰人,近来更甚,深以为苦。最近事冗心烦,人过于贪懒,因此少给你们写信。二妹给琴妹的信已经看到了。后来又接到三弟和二妹给我的信,讲到剑云病故的事,我和二弟心中都很难过。剑云是现在社会中难得的好人。二妹离家的事全亏他帮忙。倘若他的处境好一点,他也许不会死得这么早。不过我觉得他比...

I am inclined to doubtthis. It is, I think, to those who live farthest away from home, tothose who find the greatest difficulty in visiting home, that the...
你是否有过这样的经验:衣橱里满坑满谷的都是衣服,却老是不知道该怎么穿,有时候会灵光一现地穿得很好看;但却有更多的时候,必须将衣橱里几十件衣服拿出来换穿,最后才勉强穿上一套出门,走在路上总是觉得自己这一身打扮不够完美,然后继续怀抱着“女人总是少一件衣服”的坚定信念,不断地累积shopping的爆发力。就这样,一次又一次陷入在“买衣服”和“不能再买了”——to be or not to be的恶性循环,就像减了肥又复胖一样,买衣服、不能再买了,一直是生活中不小的压力来源。你知道吗?当全世界女人都在为那“永远少一件”的衣服而努力败家时,法国女人就是有办法成为每年全欧洲服饰和化妆品消费最少的族群;她们花的钱虽然少,打扮起来却永远都是那么优雅、美丽、有品味,并且成为全世界的时尚指针。她们并非个个都有苏菲˙玛索或凯萨琳˙泽塔琼斯的姣好容颜、魔鬼身材,可是她们几乎都懂得透过服装造型呈现出自己最好、最美...
