Modern Customs and Ancient Laws of Russiaby Maxime KovalevskyLecture IIThe State of the Modern Russian Family, and Particularly that ofthe Joint or Household Community of Great RussiaWe believe that the theory of the matriarchate finds a solidbasis in the past history of the Russian family. The presentcondition of the latter seems to prove that the next stage in itsevolution was the household community, composed of persons unitedby descent from a common forefather and accompanied by thatworship of ancestors which usually resulted from it. The completesubjection of the wife to the husband, and of the children to thefather; community of goods and the common enjoyment of theirproduce by the relatives living under the same roof; the...　

The Soul of the Far Eastby Percival LowellContentsChapter 1. IndividualityChapter 2. FamilyChapter 3. AdoptionChapter 4. LanguageChapter 5. Nature and ArtChapter 6. ArtChapter 7. ReligionChapter 8. ImaginationChapter 1. Individuality.The boyish belief that on the other side of our globe all things are of necessity upside down is startlingly brought back to the man when he first sets foot at Yokohama. If his initial glance does not, to be sure, disclose the natives in the every-day feat of standing calmly on their heads, an attitude which his youthful imagination conceived to be a necessary consequence of their geographical position, it does at least reveal them looking at the world as if from the standpoint of that eccentric posture. For they seem to him to se...　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　鸟　　（作者：安房直子）　　　　刚把改好的程序给同事发过去，戴上耳机，选了一堆喜欢的mp3，来继续安房直子的功课。今天敲什么呢？相信我，这一篇，是个好故事哩。。。　　一个城镇里，有一位耳科医生。　　小小的诊所，一天连一天，都在瞧看病人的耳朵。　　那是位技术特别高的医生，所以候诊室里总是满员。也有从远处的村庄，被火车晃了好几个小时赶来的人。经这位医生的医治，耳病完全痊愈的事，多得数不清。　　每天都那么忙，最近，医生有点累了。　　“我也应该偶尔去做做健康诊断。”　　黄昏，在医疗室里，医生嘟哝着，整理着病例。平时负责护士工作的太太，前不久出门，现在，只剩下医生一人。夏天的夕阳，亮亮地照着那白色的小房间。　　突然，身后的帘子唰地摇动，响起尖锐的声音。　　“大夫，请给急诊吧！”　　耳科医生咕噜一声转过转椅。　　窗帘那儿，站着一个少女，捂着一只...　

The Voice of the Cityby O HenryTHE VOICE OF THE CITYTwenty-five years ago the school children usedto chant their lessons. The manner of their deliverywas a singsong recitative between the utterance of anEpiscopal minister and the drone of a tired sawmill.I mean no disrespect. We must have lumber andsawdust.I remember one beautiful and instructive littlelyric that emanated from the physiology class. Themost striking line of it was this:"The shin-bone is the long-est bone in the hu-manbod-y."What an inestimable boon it would have been ifall the corporeal and spiritual facts pertaining toman bad thus been tunefully and logically inculcatedin our youthful minds! But what we gained in...　

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,...

FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE FIR TREEby Hans Christian AndersenFAR down in the forest, where the warm sun and the fresh airmade a sweet resting-place, grew a pretty little fir-tree; and yetit was not happy, it wished so much to be tall like its companions-the pines and firs which grew around it. The sun shone, and the softair fluttered its leaves, and the little peasant children passed by,prattling merrily, but the fir-tree heeded them not. Sometimes thechildren would bring a large basket of raspberries or strawberries,wreathed on a straw, and seat themselves near the fir-tree, and say,"Is it not a pretty little tree?" which made it feel more unhappy than...

AEMILIUS PAULUS229-160 B.C.by Plutarchtranslated by John DrydenALMOST all agree that the Aemilii were one of the ancient andpatrician houses in Rome; and those authors who affirm that KingNuma was pupil to Pythagoras tell us that the first who gave name tohis posterity was Mamercus, the son of Pythagoras, who, for hisgrace and address in speaking, was called Aemilius. Most of thisrace that have risen through their merit to reputation also enjoyedgood fortune: and even the misfortune to Lucius Paulus at the battleof Cannae gave testimony to his wisdom and valour. For not beingable to persuade his colleague not to hazard the battle, he, though...　

　　网络编辑：李荣维　来源：昭通日报　　作者：孙世祥　　尹杰　　　这是一部沉重的书，一部具有独特的艺术震撼力和深刻的社会认识价值的书。一年前，作者的亲友把厚厚的《神史》遗稿交与我，读后心情甚为悲凉。我匆忙打点行装，直奔千里之外作者的出生地——巧家发拉村。赤裸的山脊，苍凉肃杀，一望伤目。此时，我极想从这刚烈的世界中，发现人类自身生存的境遇，以及改变这一境遇的斗士心态。我远离文学很久了，时间的迁流已改变和抹杀了世间的许多事物，时尚的文学，早把底层民众的生命状态忘得差不多了，博大、深厚、燃烧的土地，或许很少有作家去描述了。《神史》唤起我青年时代的记忆，让那些曾经使我迷醉的艺术之魂重驻心灵。　　年少时读贾谊的《过秦论》，知其才华横溢，寿不得长；今读《神史》，痛感人才难得，挥泪如雨。离开发拉村时，本想去作者的坟前凭吊一番，爬到山腰却又改变了主意，逝者如斯，何苦再去打扰这颗...

　　有些人就是改不了小偷小摸的毛病，在我们香椿树街上这种情况尤其严重，你稍不留神家里的腌鱼、香烟甚至扫帚就会失踪，所以那天当我发现我的扑克牌少了一张红桃Q时，我立即想到有人偷去了我的红桃Q。　　你不知道我有多么爱护我的扑克牌，那是我在一九六九年唯一的玩具，我常常用它和我哥哥玩一种名叫大洛克的游戏。玩扑克牌是不能缺少任何一张牌的，也正因为如此，我在每一张牌后面都写了我的名字，我以为这样一来谁也不会来偷我的扑克了，可是我错了。我去向我哥哥打听红桃Q的下落，他说，丢一张牌算什么？我们学校李胖的儿子都丢了，一个人丢了都没人找，谁替你找一张破牌？我从他的表情里察觉出某种蹊跷之处，几天前他向我借一毛钱，我没理睬他，我怀疑他故意偷走了红桃Q作为对我的报复，我这么想着就把手伸到他的枕头里、床褥下还有抽屉中搜查起来，你知道我哥哥不是什么好惹的人，他突然大叫起来，你他妈的把我当牛鬼蛇神...　

The Commonwealth of Oceanaby James Harrington1656JANOTTI, the most excellent describer of the Commonwealth of Venice, divides the whole series of government into two times or periods: the one ending with the liberty of Rome, which was the course or empire, as I may call it, of ancient prudence, first discovered to mankind by God himself in the fabric of the commonwealth of Israel, and afterward picked out of his footsteps in nature, and unanimously followed by the Greeks and Romans; the other beginning with the arms of Caesar, which, extinguishing liberty, were the transition of ancient into modern prudence, introduced by those inundations of Huns, Goths, Vandals, Lombards, Saxons, which, breaking the Roman Empire, deformed the whole face of the world with those ...

我知道，我无法回避，无法躲闪，每一次经过海湾村的村口，恰巧或是刻意，我都有一丝牵挂，一点牵绊，一阵茫然。　　３年前，我在那里“卧底”采访了两个月。　　３年来，我在村里结识的女伴们，那些另类婚姻的尝试者、实践者，我曾暗访过的那些“二奶”，无论是阿洁、阿月，还是阿金、阿银，除了“扶正”后搬迁至新居的佳佳之外，我都没有看到她们的命运有什么改变。在被港人包养的岁月里，她们的生活依旧，甚至愈来愈艰难，她们的容颜在期望新生活的等待中逐渐老去。　　“二奶”是客观存在的事实，多年来“只能做不能写”，对这一群体或个案，一直处于“封锁”状态。这是一个谁都知道存在，谁也说不清楚前因后果的男女结合的“怪胎”。我的卧底“二奶群落”的计划，酝酿了较长时间。我服务于大陆媒体的时候，老总们觉得我的主意不错，可以把这个问题拿到阳光下晒一晒，但也直率地告诉我，报社是不可能发“二奶”一类的长篇新闻报...　

《谢琅浪漫记》作者：aa4562128第一章辛勤播种 喜悦收获在雪峰山的丛山峻岭中有一个古老的小镇，这里虽然落后，但几十年的开放改革使这里也有了很大的变化，原来古老的房子都变成了小洋房，那些临街的铺面更是一家比一家搞得好.早一年改建的比后一年改建的就要差一个档次了.街道也由原来的石板换成了水泥的.每个老板都把自己店里最耀眼的东西摆在了自己的店门口以吸引顾客，使整个街道都花花绿绿的，乍一看还真有一种繁华的样子.但在这花花绿绿的街道中却有一家的房子还是原来的那个老样子，在这繁华的街道中还真的有点格格不入.使人一见就有一种浪费了一块黄金宝地的感觉.因为现在什么都讲包装的，这样的铺面有谁会进来?但如果有人从它的面前走过并看上一眼的话，就不会感到奇怪了，因为那铺面的上方挂着一块古色古香的牌子，上面写着济世药铺四个烫金的大字，而那里面也是一尘不染，整理得有条有理的.一进去就给人一种宁静的感觉....
