In the Cageby Henry JamesCHAPTER IIt had occurred to her early that in her positionthat of a youngperson spending, in framed and wired confinement, the life of aguinea-pig or a magpieshe should know a great many personswithout their recognising the acquaintance. That made it anemotion the more livelythough singularly rare and always, eventhen, with opportunity still very much smotheredto see any onecome in whom she knew outside, as she called it, any one who couldadd anything to the meanness of her function. Her function was tosit there with two young menthe other telegraphist and thecounter-clerk; to mind the "sounder," which was always going, todole out stamps and postal-orders, weigh letters, answer stupid...　

1818年，21岁的詹姆斯·基尔德离开了家乡佛蒙特。他用70美元买了一个背包和一些商品，决定从此做个小贩，做小买卖谋生。他想借此摆脱在老家佛蒙特乏味的农场生活，就像后来那些为了摆脱工厂劳作之苦而去做旅行推销员的人那样。“我的性情不适合在农场工作，”基尔德在他的日记中吐露说。①他四处游走，寻找合适的商品和潜在的顾客。他在新英格兰和纽约州的北部地区来回奔波许多年，然后开始到南方冒险，最远曾一直走到南卡罗来纳的查尔斯顿。②在他的旅行推销员生涯中，他卖过各种不同的商品。为了节约开销，他曾演奏过手鼓、干过剪影、给人画过肖像，还当过书法教师。③基尔德的日记描述了美国早期小商贩独立的个体工作状态。他总是独自一人旅行，独自策划推销战略，在自己接近某个农场主的房子时，决定如何应对农场主的怀疑和敌意。交流并不总是令人愉快的。“限你一分钟内滚出我的房子！否则我就用马鞭抽你，你这该死的唯利是图...　

《下位者鄙》作者：问天第一卷 序“生活像强奸，如果不能反抗。那就闭上眼睛享受吧。”李斌很是随意的在电脑上打上了那么一句话。作为安抚对方在工作上的不如意。然后继续码字。“胡说！！！你这个人怎么能这样说？强奸怎么能享受呢？被强奸，就要反抗到底的！你没有能力反抗，和你自己不反抗，那绝对是两回事！！你没能力反抗，那是你被强迫的，非自愿的。虽然你的身体被强奸了，可你的心灵还是纯洁。可你如果享受，那就不是强奸！！！而是通奸了！！！你不仅肉体受到了蹂躏，连你的心灵也被玷污了。那你就无药可救了！你这是歧视妇女，引诱妇女走向堕落！你这个性格懦弱的大熊。……”还没等李斌的一段情节写完，李斌那可怜的QQ已经被愤怒的小野猫刷屏了。不断快速弹出的窗口，已经让李斌再也写不下一个字了。李斌恨不得给自己一个嘴巴。怎么就忘了这个小野猫是一个女权主义者了。自己这么一个写作闲暇之余，也就是在网上泡泡妹妹...　

《天使漫游拉连河》 作者：万方1　　这是关于一个诗人的故事，里边还有另外一个人。这个故事不可能发生在别的场合，只能发生在以下的时间和地点。这地方是个屯子，叫“吆喝铺”，它离拉连河很近，应该说就在拉连河边上。拉连河宽广沉静，具有威严，屯子里的土坯房屋一座座低矮地匍匐着，似乎知道它们的存在是附属于拉连河的。　　吆喝铺的人心里也有同样的感觉，他们为此而快活。在地里，干活的后生锄着锄着地忽然立直腰板，深深运一口气，“嗷”地大叫一嗓子；把声音拖得很长很长，自由自在，简直和狼嚎差不多。一阵叫声还没落，就有别的人跟上来，呼声此起彼伏，传到拉连河上，原野变得无限广阔。　　此时，太阳正在以人们难以觉察的速度落下去，河面上流光四射。一个异常响亮而短促的声音使河面上一道小小的波纹抖了抖，那是李三良的喊声。李三良的脑子里并没有想到拉连河，这条河对他还很陌生，他那光光的脑壳感觉到春天的微风...　

FIRST EPILOGUE: 1813 - 20CHAPTER ISeven years had passed. The storm-tossed sea of European history hadsubsided within its shores and seemed to have become calm. But themysterious forces that move humanity (mysterious because the laws oftheir motion are unknown to us) continued to operate.Though the surface of the sea of history seemed motionless, themovement of humanity went on as unceasingly as the flow of time.Various groups of people formed and dissolved, the coming formationand dissolution of kingdoms and displacement of peoples was incourse of preparation.The sea of history was not driven spasmodically from shore toshore as previously.

《亡灵至尊》作者：疯狂骷髅第一卷 第一章 漂亮MM和五雷轰顶！夏天是个善变的季节。刚才还艳阳满天，不一会功夫就乌云密布，雷声隆隆，大雨倾盆而下。“刚要出门，这就下雨，老天还真是会难为我啊！”李岚看着窗外，叹了口气。李岚在读大二，长相身高智力，无一不透着普通，属于放大街上，一板砖撂倒一片的那种。他父母去世得早，好在还留了些遗产，再加上他自己也打打零工，够生活的。这天睡了午觉刚起，正准备去上课，结果发现外头居然下雨了，而且还是暴雨！豆大的雨点打在窗子上，“啪啪”乱响，雨水从屋檐上垂下来，形成一道道水帘。说实话，这样恶劣的天气，是在宿舍睡大觉的好时候，不过非常不幸，今天下午的课虽然不怎么重要，但上课的老师却是出了名的彪悍，必记考勤。“真是没办法！”李岚摇摇头，有点无奈的拿起了雨伞，出了宿舍。撑着伞在雨中快步走着，滚滚的霹雳声震得耳朵疼。他往天上看了看，只见墨黑的乌云里，闪...　

The Lifted Veilby George Eliot [Mary Anne Evans]CHAPTER IThe time of my end approaches. I have lately been subject toattacks of angina pectoris; and in the ordinary course of things,my physician tells me, I may fairly hope that my life will not beprotracted many months. Unless, then, I am cursed with anexceptional physical constitution, as I am cursed with anexceptional mental character, I shall not much longer groan underthe wearisome burthen of this earthly existence. If it were to beotherwiseif I were to live on to the age most men desire andprovide forI should for once have known whether the miseries ofdelusive expectation can outweigh the miseries of true provision.For I foresee when I shall die, and everything that will happen in...　

GALBA5 B.C.? - 69 A.D.by Plutarchtranslated by John DrydenIPHICRATES the Athenian used to say that it is best to have amercenary soldier fond of money and of pleasures, for thus he willfight the more boldly, to procure the means to gratify his desires.But most have been of opinion, that the body of an army, as well asthe natural one, when in its healthy condition, should make no effortsapart, but in compliance with its head. Wherefore they tell us thatPaulus Aemilius, on taking command of the forces in Macedonia, andfinding them talkative and impertinently busy, as though they were allcommanders, issued out his orders that they should have only ready...　

1781THE CRITIQUE OF PURE REASONby Immanuel Kanttranslated by J. M. D. MeiklejohnPREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION, 1781Human reason, in one sphere of its cognition, is called upon toconsider questions, which it cannot decline, as they are presentedby its own nature, but which it cannot answer, as they transcend everyfaculty of the mind.It falls into this difficulty without any fault of its own. Itbegins with principles, which cannot be dispensed with in the field ofexperience, and the truth and sufficiency of which are, at the sametime, insured by experience. With these principles it rises, in...

《千面人》作者：开玩笑序虽然历史总是按照它固有的轨迹不断的前进着，任何人也不能改变它前进的方向。但我们却不得不承认，某些天才的出现可以让历史加快它前进的脚步。当我们回顾光辉联盟前五百年的历史，这样的一个人物就让我们不得不将他从所有的著名政客或者外交家中间挑选出来，格外的详加研究。在贵族面前他是一个高贵优雅的绅士；在富商面前他是一个虚伪狡诈的同行；在军人面前他是一个无所畏惧的斗士；在政客面前他是一个阴险毒辣的小人；在皇帝面前他是一个忠心不二的臣子；在教皇面前他是一个无比虔诚的信徒；在狐朋狗友面前他是一个只会喝酒摸女人屁股的败家子；在漂亮女人面前他是一个风流潇洒又浪漫温柔的知心人。——这就是威廉·瑞那，千面人。第一集第一章　莫切特的败家子(1)“混蛋!居然又和福尔那个败家子出去鬼混，你到底什么时候能求上进呢!你到底是不是我的儿子?我当年在你这个年纪的时候……”西立·瑞那用...　

Adventure VIIIThe Resident PatientGlancing over the somewhat incoherent series ofMemoirs with which I have endeavored to illustrate afew of the mental peculiarities of my friend Mr.Sherlock Holmes, I have been struck by the difficultywhich I have experienced in picking out examples whichshall in every way answer my purpose. For in thosecases in which Holmes has performed some tour de forceof analytical reasoning, and has demonstrated thevalue of his peculiar methods of investigation, thefacts themselves have often been so slight or socommonplace that I could not feel justified in layingthem before the public. On the other hand, it hasfrequently happened that he has been concerned in some...　

事情就坏在那套水蓝色的真丝裙上。中文系女研究生林逸蓝是这座全市最大的图书馆的常客。图书馆是不许带包进阅览室的。她先把笔记本等从包里拿出来，把旧书包推向存包处柜台里的服务员，接了号码牌要走。“喂！瞅瞅东西拿全了没有？甭转眼功夫又回来折腾！今儿就我一个人，没耐心专门为你一个人服务！”女服务员无缘无故恶狠狠地说。“都拿全了。绝不会再来麻烦你。”林逸蓝说着矜持地离开了存包处。她不认识这女人，不知道她为什么对毫不相干的人这么大的火气。躲远点吧，林逸蓝今天要为自己刚选定的硕士论文题目搜集资料，不愿为了这点小事破坏情绪。“要是一会儿就回来折腾，收一块钱！”女服务员憋着劲要跟人吵架，见没拱起林逸蓝的火，不依不饶地追加了一句。“放心好了，我到吃午饭的时候才会再来麻烦你。我得拿了钱到咖啡厅买吃的。”林逸蓝笑嘻嘻地说，同宿舍的晚平说过，她这副模样时最气人。...　

陈平原（北京大学中文系教授，博士生导师，著名学者）记得是十年前，我在东京访学时，问过许多日本学生，最喜欢的中国历史人物是谁，都说是诸葛亮。为什么？除了聪明才智，还有就是身上那种特有的“妖气”。说来有趣，同一个孔明，中国人欣赏他鞠躬尽瘁，日本人喜欢的则是其神秘色彩。这与中日两国民众看待生死、幽明、神人等的方式，不无关系。对于鬼神之有无，中国人的态度其实很通达：喜欢谈论，但并不坚执。很长时间里，明知“怪力乱神，子所不语也”，仍有无数儒生对“志怪”一往情深。个中原因，可借用清人袁枚《〈子不语〉序》的自我表白：“文史外无以自娱，乃广采游心骇耳之事，妄言妄听，记而存之，非有所惑也。”不见得真的相信鬼神，可鬼神故事“游心骇耳”，娱乐性很强。于是，读书人纷纷以谈狐说鬼自娱或娱人。鬼故事中蕴藏着的人情物理，以及极为丰富的想象力，是其吸引读者的关键所在。至于落实到梦枕貘的《阴阳师...　

　　党国英　　养猪业问题大概可以分为两个类别，一是市场调节产生的常见的产量和价格波动问题，另一是经济管理体制问题。后一问题会影响前一问题，使情况变得复杂，让我们感到一头雾水。其实两方面的问题是可以分开看的。　　市场调节难免价格波动。按照经济学的一般说法，对猪肉这种产品，需求对价格的反应程度要大于供应，加之猪肉生产的周期比较长，就使得猪肉生产周期变动的幅度比较大。经济学的"蛛网模型"大致描述了这种状况。这样说来，猪肉价格波动也不需要太大惊小怪。问题是政府的政策不要助长这种波动。但偏偏这样的事情就出现了。南方农村报的记者给我们分析了这种情形。在猪肉价格下跌的时候，政府没有出手帮助猪农，为下期猪肉大涨留下隐患；猪肉价格上升了，政府的补贴开始了，市场和政府两个方面都会使下一期猪肉产品供应大大增加，埋下了下一期猪肉价格大跌的种子。所以，政府方面学会避免逆向调节是很要紧的；逆...

“您想要什么样的发型？”听到发型师的话，英智茫然了。一想到要剪掉好不容易才留长的头发，她就黯然叹了一口气。“一定要剪吗？……那个……稍微剪一下就行了。别太像男的……”听到英智的话，发型师毫不犹豫地拿起剪子。“您的脸型很漂亮，即使剪短了也很好看。怎么样？这个长度？”“不……不行，稍微再长一点。”“那么这样呢？”“到脖子那儿的长度不行吗？不管怎么说太可惜了，我留了好久呢！！！”“……”发型师停下动作，有点不耐烦了。“那个……对不起……对不起……我下次再来。”英智站起来连声说着对不起，跑出了发廊。昨天去“誉林”面试时，英智被挑这挑那的，别提多惨了。考官希望她的头发能利索一点，说如果是那样就可以立即聘用她了。英智从小就学习跆拳道，顺便连合气道、剑道也学了。对于体育专业出身的英智来说，这是最理想的职业了。...
