You cannot anticipate him. Blackbirds, overheard yearby year, do not compose the same phrases; never two leitmotifsalike. Not the tone, but the note alters. So with the uncovenatedways of a child you keep no tryst. They meet you at another place,...
Brother Jacobby George Eliot [Mary Anne Evans]CHAPTER IAmong the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, thatof blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, beensufficiently considered. How is the son of a British yeoman, whohas been fed principally on salt pork and yeast dumplings, to knowthat there is satiety for the human stomach even in a paradise ofglass jars full of sugared almonds and pink lozenges, and that thetedium of life can reach a pitch where plum-buns at discretion ceaseto offer the slightest excitement? Or how, at the tender age when aconfectioner seems to him a very prince whom all the world mustenvywho breakfasts on macaroons, dines on meringues, sups on...

2004 年7月10日夜间,北京下起了瓢泼大雨,但这并没有阻挡住人们的热情,北京工人体育馆热闹非凡,现场座无虚席,由著名导演张艺谋拍摄的影片《十面埋伏》将在这里举行影片的首映式。 与张艺谋同样讲究色彩华美的电影一样,庆典被浓墨重彩涂抹出一种香艳、刺激、古旧的况味。以绿色为主基调的《十面埋伏》巨型海报将体育场装点成一个超大影院,远远漂浮着电影的味道。进得场内,撑起半个场地的著名场景牡丹亭名不虚传,精彩重现了大唐文化的傲世风华,磅礴呈现唐代敦煌的恢弘气势与耀眼辉煌,玻璃构制的中心舞台清晰透亮,彩蝶飞舞,舞台上黑色捕快出没,大鼓擂起,在飘逸和重力的眼球刺激中,长袖挥舞,幻化出大屏幕上《十面埋伏》的故事背景。 在京剧的锣鼓喧天中,一个身材不高的男人上场了。他一露面,台下的歌迷立刻就沸腾起来,现场的气氛一下子达到了前所未有的高潮。粗犷而沙哑的嗓音和带有少数民族风情的歌曲,让...

“昨天晚上我看见你了,在西单‘百花市场’,和一个男的。”李东宝对戈玲说。“昨天晚上我就没出门。”戈玲回答。“绝对是你,我儿子细张望了一下。”“是不是我,我还不知道?你肯定认错了。”“你们从‘百花市场’转完出来,又进了‘豆花庄’,一人吃了碗‘龙抄手’,又合吃了一碟‘叶儿粑’。”坐在另一张桌后吸烟出神的于德利,看了一眼李东宝,弹弹烟灰说:“你跟踪了?”“邂逅。”李东宝说。”当时我正好骑车逆行被警察喝住在路边接受批评,一边东张西望。”“那就是有这事儿了。”于德利说。戈玲一笑。“其实你是承认了也没什么。”于德利劝戈玲。“东宝的意思也不是要跟你算账。”“是没什么,间题是我根本没跟人去逛过、吃过西单。”“这就是你不诚实了。”于德利咳嗽着摇头叹息。“这样我就不喜欢你了。”“那也只好让你不喜欢了。”陈主编拿着份稿子从他的套间里出来,对李东宝说:...
幕后三重奏-机构投资秘密规则申购新股的“战略投资者”为何如何走运?上市公司的巨额资产为何要托管给证券公司?二级市场做庄究竟有哪些秘密规则?最顶尖的操盘手,功夫更在盘外。股市确实是遍地黄金,但越是看来简单的巨大利益,越是隐藏着秘密规则。无论中外,股市中的公平永远只是市场大多数人的追求,要想得真正得到公平,必须熟知秘密规则。笔者与一位证券业内人士的秘密访谈。访谈为时三天,并根据谈话内容整理而成本文。按照笔者对提供线索者保密的约定,被访者不允许录音,同时要求把语气进行虚拟。留下“买路钱”的战略投资者笔者:企业发行新股时经常有战略投资者介入,他们是由谁来选?谁来定呢?被访者:上市公司定。笔者:怎么个选法儿?被访者:学问就在这里边。一般来说,选择权在上市公司的董事会,而董事会谁说了算?也就一个人顶多两个人。这两个人什么身份?你猜都猜得到。笔者:成为战略投资者的具体条件是什么...
Disclaimer There is more than one reason why the Crown finds this overimaginative work most unacceptable. First and foremost, of course, is that it purports to be about a planet called "Earth" and no such planet exists under that name or its pretended astrographic designation of Blito-P3. Admittedly, it has been cleverly created down to characters and locations. That is the precise danger for the unsuspecting reader. It is also claimed that "Earth" is on the Invasion Timetable and thus scheduled for capture. The Timetable bequeathed by our ancestors has the status of Divine mand. It has unerringly guided us for well over 125,000 years. Altering it in any way would disrupt every sector of our Confederacy and pose the greatest of dangers. Yet e...
****************第一部分*************** 成铁冷在水丽花对面坐了,大张着嘴,左手拿凿子,右手拿锤子,将凿刃逼在一颗门牙上,锤子对准凿子把,用力一击,只听当啷一声脆响,那颗门牙已被打活,成铁冷疼痛难忍,但他还是忍住了没有呻吟。他放下手里的工具,使右手的大拇指和食指用力卡住那颗门牙,摇晃几下,狠狠往下一拔,门牙被拔落了。成铁冷做这些事时,水丽花一直在看着他,脸上带着欣赏的笑容。拔下牙来,成铁冷举到鼻尖前,下意识地看了一眼,随即站起来,拿着带着血的牙送给水丽花。水丽花掏出一块淡绿色的手帕,一手平托着,成铁冷看见那手帕上绣着鸳鸯戏水,他将那颗门牙郑重地放在水丽花的手帕里。水丽花微笑着接过来,像接过一枚戒指。成铁冷少了一颗牙齿,嘴里有一种异样的感觉,忍不住用舌件去舔掉了门牙的牙龈。他的嘴里满是鲜血,又腥又咸,成铁冷咽下一口血水,汩汩有声。-目录- 第一章 小桥~~~~~~...

《战士》上市之际,一朋友给我打来电话,当头便是一句:祝你喜得贵子。我自己还跟个孩子似的,怎么就当爹了?挂掉电话,我琢磨了一会儿,觉得这比喻还挺形象。于是,我决定为孩子的诞生码篇短文以资纪念。此时此刻,盛夏将至,上海街头的梧桐树一改初春时节的枝桠光秃,长出卵球和林阴。触情生情,从孩子的性别说起。扯远了,书归正传,接下来我要向你透露一些不为人知的幕后故事。《战士》是个难产孩子,他在出版社住了差不多两年。如果不按照图书的出版规律而是套用妊娠原理的话,他则属于超难产类型。《战士》之所以难产,与香港女人选择打催胎针或者剖腹产图个吉祥的生辰八字有着异曲同工之妙,但优于前者。催生难免粗糙,就像是喷洒了茄红素的番茄,味儿不地道。难产如同足球加时比赛,意味着激烈和精彩。在这两年里,我与作家出版社的袁敏老师一边等待着黄道吉日,一边把《战士》反复斟酌。初稿的激情与狂野、二稿的慎密与收敛...

The Essays of Montaigne, V17by Michel de MontaigneTranslated by Charles CottonEdited by William Carew Hazilitt1877CONTENTS OF VOLUME 17.IX. Of VanityCHAPTER IXOF VANITYThere is, peradventure, no more manifest vanity than to write of it sovainly. That which divinity has so divinely expressed to us ["Vanityof vanities: all is vanity."Eccles., i. 2.] ought to be carefully andcontinually meditated by men of understanding. Who does not see that Ihave taken a road, in which, incessantly and without labour, I shallproceed so long as there shall be ink and paper in the world? I can giveno account of my life by my actions; fortune has placed them too low: Imust do it by my fancies. And yet I have seen a gentleman who only...
