FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE LAST PEARLby Hans Christian AndersenWE are in a rich, happy house, where the master, the servants, thefriends of the family are full of joy and felicity. For on this daya son and heir has been born, and mother and child are doing well. Thelamp in the bed-chamber had been partly shaded, and the windows werecovered with heavy curtains of some costly silken material. The carpetwas thick and soft, like a covering of moss. Everything invited toslumber, everything had a charming look of repose; and so the nursehad discovered, for she slept; and well she might sleep, whileeverything around her told of happiness and blessing. The guardian...
《异界太极眼》作者：河书卷一 蛮荒骑士 第一章 黑客？穿越！凌晨，这一带没有需要赶早营生的居民，万籁俱静，冬日冷风悄悄刮过，卷起街道上废纸塑料袋，飘飘忽忽的，在黎明前的黑暗中犹如幽灵。忽然天上堕下一团紫色弘光，若有实质地砸到了地上！皮球般弹跳几下——却没有发出任何物体碰撞水泥地的声音——直到撞上街边的绿化树才停下来。就这么一会儿，又有一二三四五六团红橙黄绿蓝褐色弘光雨点一般纷纷砸到在地上，一触大地便陡然升起，朝紫色光团围拢上去，却又与其他各色光团保持距离，像是互相忌惮，却又极有默契地堵死在地上游移着的紫色光团的出路！像是被混混们围堵在小巷中的少女，紫色光团虚弱地四下游移，却被各色光团逼退，一时之间竟然显露出几分绝望的意味！猛然间，紫光大放！紫色光团若有似无的形体陡然膨胀了十倍以上！光芒盖过了其他光团，闪电一般直窜向上，天地间一道紫色光柱擎天立地！...

Collected Articles of Frederick Douglassby Frederick DouglassIn the first narrative of my experience in slavery, written nearlyforty years ago, and in various writings since, I have giventhe public what I considered very good reasons for withholdingthe manner of my escape. In substance these reasons were, first,that such publication at any time during the existence of slaverymight be used by the master against the slave, and preventthe future escape of any who might adopt the same means that I did.The second reason was, if possible, still more binding to silence:the publication of details would certainly have put in perilthe persons and property of those who assisted. Murder itself wasnot more sternly and certainly punished in the State of Maryland...

译 本 序一至流于粗野鄙俗，然而倘在捧腹大笑之余仔细回味，就不难发现这些故事实则蕴含着严肃丰富的思想内容，虽然同我们相去达五百年之久，仍不乏给人以启发教育之处。作者拉伯雷的名字在我国读者当中并不陌生，不过因为过去没有出版过名著以其全貌呈现在读者面前在我国还是第一次。拉伯雷是十六世纪法国文艺复兴运动的代表人物之一。他于一四九三年（一说一四九四年）诞生在法国中部都兰省的施农城，父亲是律师，并拥有田庄，所以推测起来生活是富裕的。拉伯雷幼年在父亲的田庄过着自由自在、无忧无虑的生活。优美恬静的乡野风光，淳朴敦厚的农村习俗深深地印得到证明。可惜好景不长，他到十几岁上便被送到教会学校接受死气沉沉的宗教教育，后来又进圣方济各会的一所修道院当了修士。在高墙深院里修行是与他活泼开朗的性情格格不入的，而且这时他已经开始接触人文主义思想，所以终于因为轻慢神学经典，醉心异教邪说的古代文化而...
主讲人简介吴林，哈尔滨工业大学焊接教研室主任、教授、博士生导师，现代焊接生产技术国家重点实验室主任。吴林教授在智能焊接、遥控焊接、焊接自动化等方向有深入的研究，出版有《焊接手册》等专著12本，在国内外发表学术论文200余篇，获国家、部委、省科技进步奖18项。内容简介今天我在这里向大家简单介绍一下，一项重要的制造技术，就是现代焊接技术。可能有些人一提到焊接，就会有这样的印象，在一些街道或者城镇的旁边，看到一些修理铺，他们干的是补带，打气，焊洋铁壶。因此可能有些同学对焊接的印象就是一些简单的手工艺，好像没有什么科学技术，实际上不是这样的，经过一个多世纪的发展，焊接技术已经从古代的一种手工艺逐渐发展成为现代的焊接技术。下面我想给同学们介绍一下焊接的基本原理，从理论上来说，两块分离的材料，我们把它需要连接的面靠在一起，如果我们把这个靠在一起的面足够紧密的话，这种情况下，这个材料...
SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSEby Sir Arthur Conan DoyleIt was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London wasinterested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of theHonourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicablecircumstances. The public has already learned those particulars of thecrime which came out in the police investigation, but a good dealwas suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for theprosecution was so overwhelmingly strong that it was not necessaryto bring forward all the facts. Only now, at the end of nearly tenyears, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up thewhole of that remarkable chain. The crime was of interest in itself,...

A Ramble Among the Hills.I USED frequently to amuse myself towards the close of the day, whenthe heat had subsided, with taking long rambles about theneighboring hills and the deep umbrageous valleys, accompanied by myhistoriographic squire, Mateo, to whose passion for gossiping I onsuch occasions gave the most unbounded license; and there was scarce arock, or ruin, or broken fountain, or lonely glen, about which hehad not some marvellous story; or, above all, some golden legend;for never was poor devil so munificent in dispensing hidden treasures.In the course of one of these strolls Mateo was more than usuallycommunicative. It was toward sunset that we sallied forth from thegreat Gate of Justice, and ascended an alley of trees until we came to...

The Vested Interests and the Common Manby Thorstein Veblen1919Chapter 1The Instability of Knowledge and BeliefAs is true of any other point of view that may becharacteristic of any other period of history, so also the modernpoint of view is a matter of habit. It is common to the moderncivilised peoples only in so far as these peoples have comethrough substantially the same historical experience and havethereby acquired substantially the same habits of thought andhave fallen into somewhat the same prevalent frame of mind. Thismodern point of view, therefore, is limited both in time andspace. It is characteristic of the modern historical era and ofsuch peoples as lie within the range of that peculiarcivilisation which marks off the modern world from what has gone...
你什么也不可能真正留住。一切都过去得太快，二十年，是的，接着二十一年，你对自己说， 总之过去很久了，这一切，一个女人，在某一天，然后。然后什么也没有了。一切，事实上，照你说，都在缓慢地离你而去，尽管，不会发生什么无可救要的事情，但当你，张开嘴巴，或开始写作的时候，很有可能，一切都会变得更糟。阿×：“一切都在遗忘中”。是的，我对自己说，我明白，并且，一切都迫使我回到现在。“但我什么也没有忘记。什么也忘不了—”每种肯定都以否定而告终。每天，我信步走在这片街区，漫步，回到室内。在灯光下，重又工作。抖掉身上的烟灰，眼含忧郁的、传播爱的微笑，而后……随着年龄的增长，我感到的不是欲望减退，也不是厌腻，我这样说，而我就在一瞬间想起阿×，可这个念头是如此强烈让我的心都快停止了跳动。然而现在，如果说我能记起一种气味、一种温度、一个乳房、一个片段，那也是很勉强的。但并不是这样：重现每...
《婉若晨曦》作者：素衣凝香引子乱套了，一切似乎都乱套了，萧天佑圆睁着双眼，听着外面此起彼伏的惨叫和哀号声，感觉到了一丝恐惧。他抬起头，看着自己身边的大哥——那是他现在唯一能够感受到温暖和依靠的人了。萧天佐的面色依然平静，只有那双烁烁生辉的双眼里如同翻滚着层层叠叠汹涌波涛的深海，既藏着激烈的情感，又似乎在克制着一股浓浓的恨意。那是年轻尚幼的萧天佑所无法理解的。“大哥？”萧天佑伸出冰凉的小手拽了拽他大哥衣襟。刚才乳娘急着跑出去，把他们两个藏在内室，千叮咛万嘱咐的告诉他们不许出去。到底发生了什么？为什么外面会有浓烟和火光？这是怎么回事？突然一阵急促的脚步声传过来，萧天佐急忙捂住了萧天佑的嘴。“人数不对！！”一个阴沉的声音在屋外传来。“不是还有萧家的小崽子吗？怎么一个也没看到？”又有一个尖厉的声音传来，像是锯木头的声音，格外的难听。萧天佑任凭大哥的手紧紧的捂着自己，感觉...
网上BBS论坛从来就不闲着，一天到晚喋喋不休，大肆鼓吹格格电视台美女播天气有看头，他们就是想不通那些个湘妹子怎么就那么水灵？怎么就敢一块小布胸前一遮就跑去播节目呢？他又喝醉了！至少在别人的眼中是醉了。他独自一人坐在吧台前，10个空着的喜力啤酒瓶整整齐齐一字排开，就像一列等待检阅的士兵。按惯例，无聊时他总是一个人泡在星城解放路的CoCo BAR，就这么一瓶一瓶地喝着啤酒。他在家排行第五，加之30岁的人一个还打着光棍，所以别人叫他“老五”或者“五别”（星城方言），客气点的便依照星城规矩叫他“五哥”。没有谁知道他是干嘛的，也没有人关心这个问题。老五自从很多年前，一次偶然的机会在北京三里屯仔细地玩味过酒吧后，就渐渐喜欢上了酒吧，就象喜欢美女一样的喜欢酒吧，身不由己。当然，他更喜欢那种喧嚣热闹背后的漠不关心，可以吵、可以闹、可以说话、也可以保持沉默，除了自己，没人会关心你从哪里来也不想知...

Arms and the Manby George Bernard ShawINTRODUCTIONTo the irreverentand which of us will claim entire exemption from thatcomfortable classification?there is something very amusing in theattitude of the orthodox criticism toward Bernard Shaw. He so obviouslydisregards all the canons and unities and other things which everywell-bred dramatist is bound to respect that his work is really unworthyof serious criticism (orthodox). Indeed he knows no more about thedramatic art than, according to his own story in "The Man of Destiny,"Napoleon at Tavazzano knew of the Art of War. But both men weresuccesses each in his waythe latter won victories and the formergained audiences, in the very teeth of the accepted theories of war and...
