古兰经是伊斯兰教经典，伊斯兰教徒认为它是安拉对先知穆罕默德所启示的真实语言，在穆罕默德死后汇集为书。《古兰经》的阿拉伯文在纯洁和优美上都无与伦比，在风格上是达到纯全的地步。为了在斋月诵读，《古兰经》分为３０卷，一月中每天读１卷。但是《古兰经》主要划分单位却是长短不等的１１４章。《法蒂哈》即开端一章是简短的祈祷词，其他各章大致按长短次序排列；第二章最长；最后两三章最短。一般较长的各章产生于穆罕默德的活动后期，结果写成较早的各章列在全书之尾，写成较晚的各章则列全书之首。在现在通行的《古兰经》版本中，每章之首都含有下列要素：１．标题，通常是取自本章中的突出的词，如《黄牛》、《蜜蜂》、《众诗人》等，与全章的内容无关；２．以真主称名句，即“奉至仁至慈的真主之名”；３．说明本章降示于麦加或麦地那，以及全章节数；４．有的章首有一个或几个字母，如“塔·新”、“塔·新·米目”...

第一章 周五的夜晚，学校附近的热门餐饮店，狭窄的洗手间内突然涌进一大群男孩子。 「喂，刚刚坐在中间的那个女生，听说只要你有钱就「很好上」。人是长得挺漂亮的没错，真看不出来是在卖 的。」 「坐在中间的女生……你是说周郁惠吗？真的假的？你听谁说的？这种话可不能乱讲啊，会毁了人家女孩子的清 誉。」 「之前听我高中同学说的，那女生交过好几个男朋友，一个比一个有钱，不过很奇怪，交往的时间都不超过两个月，所以才会有传闻说她是在卖的，被发现之后就被那些男人给甩了。」 「哇，真劲爆，完全看不出来她是这样的人……」此男的批评声中带着惋惜之意。今晚的联谊活动，他第一眼就相中周郁惠，她的笑容极为甜美，身材又是前凸后翘、玲珑有致，在一堆女孩子之中看起来挺健谈、挺好亲近的，没想到竟会让他听见这样的情报。 私底下「桥」好了待会儿邀约哪个女生续摊之后，几个一男生勾肩搭背地...

The Dominion of the Airby J. M. BaconCHAPTER I. THE DAWN OF AERONAUTICS."He that would learn to fly must be brought up to the constant practice of it from his youth, trying first only to use his wings as a tame goose will do, so by degrees learning to rise higher till he attain unto skill and confidence."So wrote Wilkins, Bishop of Chester, who was reckoned a man of genius and learning in the days of the Commonwealth. But so soon as we come to inquire into the matter we find that this good Bishop was borrowing from the ideas of others who had gone before him; and, look back as far as we will, mankind is discovered to have entertained persistent and often plausible ideas of human flight. And those ideas had in some sort of way, for good or ill, taken practical ...
吸血魔女序(必看) “如果有来世，你会选择何样的生活？” “切！来世？”她不屑！ “如果有来世，我想当一个普通人！”她笑得如花般璀璨，瞅着她眼中闪炼的光芒，法洛斯不懂，亦不想懂。 “普通人？切！” “嗯！”美若天使般的她，并没惊讶与介怀她如此不屑的口吻。她微笑的美瞳睨了她一眼，仍旧满怀兴奋的憧憬。“我要平凡的活着，平凡的变老，平凡的死去。” “哼！这是什么烂生活？”她不屑！亦不希罕！ “法洛斯！” “嗯！”面对她，她自然而然耐心了起来。若果换是别人跟她谈此无聊事情，她早已送他一记冷酷的眼光，将他碎尸万段。 美如天使般的女孩，抚顺着修长的金色秀发，天真的枕在她的大腿上，形成了鲜明的对比。她笑得如花美雁的深深道。“我们要永远在一起，无论是天塌下来了，或是世界末日，我们永远都要在一起！好吗？” 法洛斯震憾的注视着眼下那双闪炼着无限期盼与爱意的蓝眸，...
《纵横》作者：温瑞安第一章有谁替我杀了孙青霞一、你们错了“我告诉你们，你们错了。”孙青霞剑指着他在寒芒下尽皆变色、退缩的敌人。“这世间是有报应这回事的，如果没有，便由我来执行。”隆的一声，长空划过一道闪电。他的剑还滴着血。正滴到了最后一滴血。刚刚死去的“混天猴”金不闻，对孙青霞作出全力的反扑，他的“混天铖”旋舞起来，猛烈得就似一道道惊雷劈在冰山上、殛在雪原上。那不是斧铖之利。而是一次又一次的爆炸。可是没有用。孙青霞递出了他的剑。金不闻就送了他的命。——就像他特别往孙青霞的剑锋送上了身子：他的咽喉。尽管他的攻势很狂烈，但血却流得并不狂也不烈。只一点点。沾在剑口上。很快，血自剑尖上滴落、滑落。剑又回到原来的剑。一把锋利得雪亮、雪亮得锋利的剑，——就像它的主人一样。霹雳一声，院外又划过一道寒电。...
第五回合接近一半时，身穿蓝短裤的拳手一记强劲的左勾拳击中对手下巴，接着又朝他头上来了一记右直拳。“他已经完了。”米克•巴卢说。的确，他是一副快倒下的样子。不过当蓝短裤小子展开猛烈攻击时，他躲过了一记直拳，弯腰抱住对手，两人便扭成了一团。在裁判把他们拉开之前，我看见了他已经涣散的目光。“还剩多少时间？”“大概一分多钟。”“还早嘛，”米克说，“你仔细瞧那小子，他准会把对手打得落花流水。他个儿小，却像头蛮牛。”其实他们不算小个子，中量级的选手，体重大概在一百五十五磅左右。过去我对拳赛的各种量级很清楚，那时候比较容易，但现在的分级标准比以前多两倍以上，一会儿是次什么级，一会儿又是超什么级，每一级还各有三种不同的冠军。我想一旦某位仁兄发觉增立名目要比赢得比赛容易时，这种潮流便会一发不可收拾，而从此之后，也再看不到什么精彩的好拳赛了。...

Wild Walesby George BorrowIts People, Language and SceneryINTRODUCTORYWALES is a country interesting in many respects, and deserving ofmore attention than it has hitherto met with. Though not veryextensive, it is one of the most picturesque countries in theworld, a country in which Nature displays herself in her wildest,boldest, and occasionally loveliest forms. The inhabitants, whospeak an ancient and peculiar language, do not call this regionWales, nor themselves Welsh. They call themselves Cymry or Cumry,and their country Cymru, or the land of the Cumry. Wales orWallia, however, is the true, proper, and without doubt originalname, as it relates not to any particular race, which at presentinhabits it, or may have sojourned in it at any long bygone period,...

SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE SCANDAL IN BOHEMIAby Sir Arthur Conan Doyle1To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heardhim mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses andpredominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotionakin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly,were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. Hewas, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machinethat the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himselfin a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, savewith a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the...
B-24轰炸机的飞行员和机组成员来自美国的各个州和各个属地。他们年轻、健壮、热情,他们是工人、医生、律师、农民、商人、教师的儿子。有些人结婚了,但绝大部分还没有。有些人接受过包括大学在内的良好教育,他们的专业是历史、文学、物理、工程、化学,等等。有些人刚刚出中学的校门。他们都是志愿参军的。美军航空队,即1942年以后的陆军航空队,并没有强迫任何人去飞行。他们是自己做出选择的。1927年,当查尔斯·林白驾驶“圣路易斯精神号”从长岛飞往巴黎时,他们中的大多数人还很小。对很多孩子来说,这是第一桩外界影响他们的事件。它激发了孩子们的想像,像林白一样,他们也想飞行。在他们十多岁时,如果开过车的话,也只开过福特T型车,或As型车。他们中的很多人是农村孩子,跟在骡子或马后面犁过地。他们在屋外解手,步行很远去上学。包括城市孩子在内,他们绝大多数人都很穷。如果十分走运、有份工作的话,一天可以挣一块钱,有时还...
