Eugene Pickeringby Henry JamesCHAPTER I.It was at Homburg, several years ago, before the gaming had beensuppressed. The evening was very warm, and all the world wasgathered on the terrace of the Kursaal and the esplanade below it tolisten to the excellent orchestra; or half the world, rather, for thecrowd was equally dense in the gaming-rooms around the tables.Everywhere the crowd was great. The night was perfect, the seasonwas at its height, the open windows of the Kursaal sent long shaftsof unnatural light into the dusky woods, and now and then, in theintervals of the music, one might almost hear the clink of thenapoleons and the metallic call of the croupiers rise above thewatching silence of the saloons. I had been strolling with a friend,...

夜间，死神在一个豪华的坟场中等候。他穿上一套簇新的黑西装，内里的白恤衫是那种宴会式样的礼服领口，而方头黑皮鞋则有种含蓄的雅致。挺拔俊美的侧脸带着等候的紧张，他遥望坟场的入口，不一会，就会走来他盼待着的人。夜间的坟场静寂无声，绿草的味道混合了墓碑那种大理石的冰香，而淡淡的尸体气味透过泥土渗透。气氛并不骇人，虽然坟场始终是坟场，但有钱人的长眠之地一定有种安然与格调，那些墓碑上的雕塑，根本就是价值连城的艺术品。未几，由坟场的入口处走进一个身影，细小娇美的、精巧的。街灯照在这小人儿的头上，但照不出影子。死神知道，这个就是他要面对的重要人物。那是一个年约八岁的小女孩，身穿淡黄色丝绢芭蕾舞衣，脚踏一双红色芭蕾舞鞋。她的头发是银白色的，如丝线般薄，又长又鬈曲。她以一条红丝带蒙着眼睛，并以缓慢高雅的步伐前行。两旁的墓碑在她走过之时都起了变化，墓碑上的雕塑顷刻活起来，天使的翅膀张...　

《月在回廊·新月如钩》作者：炼之蜻蜓帘底纤纤月第一回某年某月某日，天气晴好，炎热。眼见得暑假已在眼前，大学里已经走了近乎半数学生，越发显得空空。卓丝丝拿着一张纸条，上面娟秀字体写着要她到实验楼拿几本遗落的参考书顺便到篮球场走一趟。她怀里抱着书，嘴里咬着笔杆子，晃晃悠悠走向篮球场。几个男生正在比赛，其中一个远远看到她，丢下抄到手的球跑了过来。“小卓！”丝丝回头，虽然已经下午，灼热的阳光依然耀眼，她看着那男生穿着白色篮球队服，裸露的皮肤上微微一层薄汗，很难不想到四个字：阳光少年。想了想，这个人倒是认得，不同系，但是个名人。帅气，开朗，热爱运动。据说曾有两系系花为他争得头破血流。她茫然的眨巴眨巴眼睛，没想起来他的名字。不知道自己何时有跟他熟到喊她“小卓”这么亲密？犹在疑惑间那男生似乎被她茫然的神情激怒，突然伸手一把拉住她走进实验楼，避开其他人目光。...　

作者：夏君、方子前言在香港演艺界，有一位年龄已过“不惑”的中年男性，一直被人们亲切地称为“华仔”。据说在香港，不知道“华仔”的人只有两种：不懂事的孩童与白痴。他那张有着深邃如潭的眼神和鹰钩鼻的脸，巧妙地将中、西方人的神韵完美合璧，形成特有的“华仔”之帅，让人过目难以忘怀。有人把他比作东方的汤姆·克鲁斯，也有人说他是忧郁王子劳伦斯·奥立佛。其实他就是他——一个名叫刘德华的香港艺员。与众不同的是，除了外观上的英俊倜傥，他那健康的内心之“帅”，更让许多人心海中浪涛澎湃。他以孜孜不倦、勤奋执著创造出的人生传奇，简直就像一个既优美动听又震撼人心的天方夜谭，那才是任何人都难以“混”了去的“帅”。在香港，他以拍片数量之最跻身于前排，两次当选“金像”影帝，与成龙、周润发、李连杰、梁朝伟、周星驰等巨星齐名；同时，他唱歌半路出家，却出碟、获奖无数，名列“四大天王”之首；在台湾，他唱...　

请记住我们的网址：ccs8珍藏于哈佛大学的孤本（代序）卡尔·威特是19世纪德国的一个着名的天才。他八九岁时就能自由运用德语、法语、意大利语、拉丁语、英语和希腊语这六国语言；并且通晓动物学、植物学、物理学、化学，尤其擅长数学；10岁时他进入了哥廷根大学；年仅14岁就被授予哲学博士学位；16岁获得法学博士学位，并被任命为柏林大学的法学教授；23岁他出版《但丁的误解》一书，成为研究但丁的权威。与那些过早失去后劲的神童们不同，卡尔·威特一生都在德国的着名大学里授学，在有口皆碑的赞扬声中一直讲到1883年逝世为止。然而，正是由这些残章断片生发出的教育方法，培养出了近代像塞德兹、威纳·巴尔及维尼夫雷特等无数世界级的通过早期教育成才的典范。更令人兴奋的是，在200年后的中国，刘亦婷的母亲正是在这些片断理论的启迪和指点下，将女儿培养成出色的人才。所以在《哈佛女孩刘亦婷》中，她妈妈感慨道："应该永远感...　

　　七、远行　　　　　　他发现，家里发生了很大的变化。远在西部居住的亲戚们说：伊利诺伊那儿才是真正的天堂，那里土地肥沃，如果有人想发财，到那儿去准行。或许为了能够通过结成更大的集体以改善自己的处境他们有些夸大其辞了；但有一点是肯定的，那就是印第安纳许多失望的殖民者相信了他们的话，因为一下子就有三家打点行装，踏上了通往迪凯特地区的道路。　　父亲托马斯。林肯在那边有亲戚，而且他又总是不停地在寻找着发财致富的机会，不停地追寻着带来好运的时机。像他那种不安分又好奇的性格，对这里乡村发展速度之慢早就感到很窝火了，所以，他根本不去听村里人对这种西部热发出的警告，毅然以一百二十五美元的价格变卖掉了田产，而他的妻子也把她前夫的田产以一百二十三美元的价格卖掉，整理好所有的家当整装出发了，就如同十几年前他们离开肯塔基州时一样。只不过现在，这个家庭是两大四小六口人。而且他们要带走的东...　

Confidence by Henry JamesCHAPTER IIt was in the early days of April; Bernard Longueville had been spending the winter in Rome. He had travelled northward with the consciousness of several social duties that appealed to him from the further side of the Alps, but he was under the charm of the Italian spring, and he made a pretext for lingering. He had spent five days at Siena, where he had intended to spend but two, and still it was impossible to continue his journey. He was a young man of a contemplative and speculative turn, and this was his first visit to Italy, so that if he dallied by the way he should not be harshly judged. He had a fancy for sketching, and it was on his conscience to take a few pictorial notes. There were two old inns at Siena, both of the...

The Lesser Bourgeoisieby Honore de BalzacTranslated by Katharine Prescott WormeleyDEDICATIONTo Constance-Victoire.Here, madame, is one of those books which come into the mind,whence no one knows, giving pleasure to the author before he canforesee what reception the public, our great present judge, willaccord to it. Feeling almost certain of your sympathy in mypleasure, I dedicate the book to you. Ought it not to belong toyou as the tithe formerly belonged to the Church in memory of God,who makes all things bud and fruit in the fields and in theintellect?A few lumps of clay, left by Moliere at the feet of his colossalstatue of Tartuffe, have here been kneaded by a hand more daringthan able; but, at whatever distance I may be from the greatest of...　

A TALE OF THE TONTLAWALDLong, long ago there stood in the midst of a country covered withlakes a vast stretch of moorland called the Tontlawald, on whichno man ever dared set foot. From time to time a few bold spiritshad been drawn by curiosity to its borders, and on their returnhad reported that they had caught a glimpse of a ruined house ina grove of thick trees, and round about it were a crowd of beingsresembling men, swarming over the grass like bees. The men wereas dirty and ragged as gipsies, and there were besides a quantityof old women and half-naked children.One night a peasant who was returning home from a feast wandereda little farther into the Tontlawald, and came back with the samestory. A countless number of women and children were gathered...　

爱新觉罗是满族姓氏之一，清朝的皇帝们都姓这个姓，因而它变得无比尊贵。但是，在满族的姓氏中，爱新觉罗只是个小姓。满族的八大姓是佟佳氏、瓜尔佳氏、马佳氏、索绰络氏、祁佳氏、富察氏、那拉氏、钮祜禄氏，根本没有爱新觉罗。到辛亥革命以后，满族人都冠以汉字姓了。其规律多是取其原来多音节姓氏中的第一字为姓，或取数音节相切，取一音近的汉字为姓。如索绰络氏改姓索，舒穆禄氏改姓舒或徐，瓜尔佳氏改姓关，那拉氏改姓那等；也有将原来姓氏意译为汉字取姓的，如巴颜氏改姓富，因巴颜在满语中有富有之意；而皇族爱新觉罗氏则改姓金，这是因为爱新在满语中是黄金之意。爱新觉罗氏的来源至今众说不一。据《清太祖高皇帝实录》中记载，有一次天女佛库伦在长白山附近的湖里洗澡，吞食神鸦所衔的果子之后，觉得身重不能升天，不久便生下一男孩，体貌奇伟，落地会说话。佛库伦对他说：“汝以爱新觉罗为姓，名库布里雍舜。”这个孩子...　

Adventure XIThe Final ProblemIt is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen towrite these the last words in which I shall everrecord the singular gifts by which my friend Mr.Sherlock Holmes was distinguished. In an incoherentand, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion,I have endeavored to give some account of my strangeexperiences in his company from the chance which firstbrought us together at the period of the "Study inScarlet," up to the time of his interference in thematter of the "Naval Treaty"and interference whichhad the unquestionable effect of preventing a seriousinternational complication. It was my intention tohave stopped there, and to have said nothing of thatevent which has created a void in my life which the...　

FLAMININUS230?-174 B.C.by Plutarchtranslated by John DrydenWHAT Titus Quintius [Flamininus], whom we select as a parallel toPhilopoemen, was in personal appearance, those who are curious may seeby the brazen statue of him, which stands in Rome near that of thegreat Apollo, brought from Carthage, opposite to the Circus Maximus,with a Greek inscription upon it. The temper of his mind is said tohave been of the warmest both in anger and in kindness, not indeedequally so in both respects; as in punishing he was ever moderate,never inflexible; but whatever courtesy or good turn he set about,he went through with it, and was as perpetually kind and obliging to...　

　　大家看到了，好莱坞拍的《大白鲨》，惊心动魄，而且也令人非常害怕。就说明大白鲨不是一般的鲨鱼，那么大白鲨之所以成为全世界公认的凶猛鲨鱼，是有它特殊的条件的。那么大白鲨之所以能成为海洋中的一霸，有这么以下四点：第一，它生活在地球上已经有三亿多年的历史了，它有一个发达的大脑，可以借助电磁场的导航，把各种信息来储存到大脑里。那么又利用大脑把所有的信息再传递到它的运动神经系统，凭借着它的非常敏感的嗅觉，它就能够快速出击，这是第一点。第二点，就是它的牙齿与众不同，它的牙齿是什么牙齿呢？是三角形的，而且在三角形牙齿的边缘还有很多锯齿，这样的牙齿一旦咬住了别的小动物，别的小动物是难以脱身的。大白鲨所到之处都是残体和血，说明大鲨鱼非常地凶猛。第三点，大鲨鱼的游速是非常快的，每小时能够达到70公里，比一般的汽车还要快。第四点，我们认为它的嗅觉是极其灵敏的，尤其是对血腥味非常敏感，...　

在遇到她之前，它未曾后悔过自己是一只鸟。相反的，它有一对羽毛丰满，开合有力的翅膀。它十分满意因翅膀而享有的高贵的自由，那种飞掠一切，俯视一切的透彻淡定。可是它却遇到了她，那是一件令翅膀亦变得无能为力的事。它常常都能在这片水塘附近看到她。初春时节，她穿着一件白色的外套和靛蓝色的短靴，小手装在一双灰色的兔毛手套里面。女孩漆黑的头发梳着平顺的刘海，皮肤仿佛很少接触太阳般白得有些不真实，眼瞳非常黝深，让人想要沉溺探究。它可以感到她与一般女孩的不同，她不似受过任何不好的浸染，好像只是一直在清澈的水潭中生长的水草，靠近了便能闻到清甜草香。可是她看起来又是那么纤弱，过分瘦削的身体在大外套里晃来晃去，它看到大片大片的风钻进她的衣服里面，那么生猛地仿佛要侵吞她。这令它感到了十分心疼，想要伸出臂膀去护住她——它竟忘记了自己只是一只鸟。它渐渐地发现她的不同。她是没有视觉的女孩，眼前永...

The children of both sexes are taught useful trades. All...　

第一部分前言（1）（图）　　对于橄榄我们并不陌生，儿时懵懂视线中口衔橄榄枝的和平鸽，萦绕着成长记忆的那首空灵美妙的《橄榄树》……然而大多数国人，直到近些年才与橄榄有了亲密接触，这得归功于橄榄油。　　我对橄榄油最初的印象来自国外健美比赛和拳击比赛，除了惊异于参赛者的体形、力量，更对那古铜色的、会发光的肌肤充满了好奇，原来，那是涂抹了橄榄油的缘故。用“百度”搜索一下“橄榄油”，有相关文章约240，000篇（也算是一个当红明星了），不过大多是广告。那什么是橄榄油？它有怎样的成分、性质、来源？有哪些产地？它在人类生活中扮演怎样的角色？言归正传。　　翻开《牛津大词典》，橄榄油是一种多年生乔木——橄榄树的果实榨出的油。这种树有芳香的胶粘性的树脂，树叶的分布在单枝上成为奇数的羽状，性喜暖，春夏开花。橄榄油是一种纯天然产品，是真正的新鲜果汁中的油，因此当今医学界公认橄榄油是最益于健康的...
