六、生活的忧郁 “他走路的时候，忧郁仿佛马上就会从他身上抖落下来一样。”赫尔顿用这幅奇妙的图画描绘了林肯的情绪。这不正是林肯的生母常有的心态吗？母亲的早逝，她不明不白的身世，父亲的不安分，缺少故乡的感觉，过去的一系列失败，对女人的渴望和对她们的恐惧，心灵的梦幻生活，一觉醒来像被逐出了天堂的感觉以及与生俱来的忧伤，都仿佛在向世人提出这样一个问题：忧郁为什么没有使林肯仇视别人？ 在流动法庭里，斯图尔特这样向别人介绍林肯说：“我曾在酒吧的一角看见过他：远离所有人，心不在焉，心情忧伤。他仿佛正在思考着一个痛苦的主题，系统地考虑着问题的不同侧面，他的面孔时常表现出他内心深深的苦恼。直到法庭彻底休庭，他的紧张才会被转移。而后他才从他痛苦的深渊里走出来，仿佛大梦初醒一样。”另一个室友则看到他天还没亮就坐了起来，“他自言自语地狂热地嘟嚷着什么；陌生人看到他准会以...

《无限恐怖之雨夜独行》作者：黄天律·调教师第一章 我现在的名字是乔纳森·格蒂曼，为军方工作已经有十年。职业是科学家。为什么说是「现在的名字」？因为我是个穿越者。目前的身体虽然已经超过五十岁，但是在这个科技发达的年代，人类寿命被大大延长，我应该只算是刚刚进入壮年。穿越后的我融合了这个身体的全部记忆。开始的时候我以为来到了未来世界，但是随着安全级别的提升，我从军方那里了解到了一些内幕。目前的军部正在策划克隆一名两百年多前的人物，艾伦·蕾普莉。刚刚接触这个名字的时候我并没有在意，但是『伟伦优达尼公司』引起了我的兴趣。在详细了解了她的资料后，我赫然发现她竟是异形四部曲的女主角。同时，我回忆起了「我」的身份——异形四中七名科学家中的一员。我震惊的表情并没有让其他人过于在意，因为我未来六名同事知道了真相后的反映也和我如出一辙。原电影中的情节我还记得清清楚楚，那么如何自保估计...

The Poor Clareby Elizabeth GaskellCHAPTER I.December 12th, 1747.My life has been strangely bound up with extraordinary incidents, some of which occurred before I had any connection with the principal actors in them, or indeed, before I even knew of their existence. I suppose, most old men are, like me, more given to looking back upon their own career with a kind of fond interest and affectionate remembrance, than to watching the events though these may have far more interest for the multitude immediately passing before their eyes. If this should be the case with the generality of old people, how much more so with me! . . . If I am to enter upon that strange story connected with poor Lucy, I must begin a long way back. I myself only came to the knowledge of her...

有些人就是改不了小偷小摸的毛病，在我们香椿树街上这种情况尤其严重，你稍不留神家里的腌鱼、香烟甚至扫帚就会失踪，所以那天当我发现我的扑克牌少了一张红桃Q时，我立即想到有人偷去了我的红桃Q。 你不知道我有多么爱护我的扑克牌，那是我在一九六九年唯一的玩具，我常常用它和我哥哥玩一种名叫大洛克的游戏。玩扑克牌是不能缺少任何一张牌的，也正因为如此，我在每一张牌后面都写了我的名字，我以为这样一来谁也不会来偷我的扑克了，可是我错了。我去向我哥哥打听红桃Q的下落，他说，丢一张牌算什么？我们学校李胖的儿子都丢了，一个人丢了都没人找，谁替你找一张破牌？我从他的表情里察觉出某种蹊跷之处，几天前他向我借一毛钱，我没理睬他，我怀疑他故意偷走了红桃Q作为对我的报复，我这么想着就把手伸到他的枕头里、床褥下还有抽屉中搜查起来，你知道我哥哥不是什么好惹的人，他突然大叫起来，你他妈的把我当牛鬼蛇神...
