1788THE CRITIQUE OF PRACTICAL REASONby Immanuel Kanttranslated by Thomas Kingsmill AbbottPREFACEThis work is called the Critique of Practical Reason, not of the pure practical reason, although its parallelism with the speculative critique would seem to require the latter term. The reason of this appears sufficiently from the treatise itself. Its business is to show that there is pure practical reason, and for this purpose it criticizes the entire practical faculty of reason. If it succeeds in this, it has no need to criticize the pure faculty itself in order to see whether reason in making such a claim does not presumptuously overstep itself (as is the case with the speculative reason). For if, as pure reason, it is actually practical, it proves its own reality a...
Black RockA TALE OF THE SELKIRKSby Ralph ConnorINTRODUCTIONI think I have met "Ralph Conner." Indeed, I am sure I haveoncein a canoe on the Red River, once on the Assinaboine, and twice orthrice on the prairies to the West. That was not the name he gaveme, but, if I am right, it covers one of the most honest and genialof the strong characters that are fighting the devil and doing goodwork for men all over the world. He has seen with his own eyes thelife which he describes in this book, and has himself, for someyears of hard and lonely toil, assisted in the good influences whichhe traces among its wild and often hopeless conditions. He writeswith the freshness and accuracy of an eye-witness, with the style(as I think his readers will allow) of a real artist, a...
Literary Boston As I Knew Itby William Dean HowellsAmong my fellow-passengers on the train from New York to Boston, when Iwent to begin my work there in 1866, as the assistant editor of theAtlantic Monthly, was the late Samuel Bowles, of the SpringfieldRepublican, who created in a subordinate city a journal of metropolitanimportance. I had met him in Venice several years earlier, when he wassuffering from the cruel insomnia which had followed his overwork on thatnewspaper, and when he told me that he was sleeping scarcely more thanone hour out of the twenty-four. His worn face attested the misery whichthis must have been, and which lasted in some measure while he lived,though I believe that rest and travel relieved him in his later years....

“呱、呱、呱……”一个婴儿降到了人世，他的哭声是那么得宏亮，那么得有力，他仿佛是在用啼哭来向这个崭新的世界宣告——我来了。接生婆倒提着白白胖胖的婴儿腿，照着乌紫泛青的小屁股蛋，狠命地掴了几巴掌，第六巴掌才把他打出哭声来。而后按在铜盆内热水里洗起来，边洗边对床上有气无力的产妇窦氏说：“不下狠手，他不哭，不哭嗓子里的黏痰出不来，黏痰出不来，他喘不成气……”“大娘，小心点！”一个侍女忙把婴儿的头托出水面，接生婆光顾转脸说话了，弄得小世民的嘴在水面上一浮一浮的。“没事，起小受罪，长大攒福。”接生婆又转脸对着窦氏絮絮叨叨：“这孩子命硬，会老驴大憋气，拍了他好几巴掌他都没有感觉。长大了一定不是个善茬儿。”床上的窦氏笑了笑，头无力地靠在枕头上，她仰望屋椽，泪水从眼角滚了下来，她想念着不知现在何处的孩他爹李渊。——隋朝开皇十九年（公元５９９年）十二月二十二日，李世民降生在了渭水...
银行家为什么不看学校成绩单今天，教育显得比历史上的任何时代都更为重要。在我们跨越工业时代，步入信息时代的时刻，教育的价值在不断增加。我们的问题是，你或你的孩子在学校所受到的教育是否足以迎接新时代的挑战?在工业时代，你去上学，毕业，然后开始你的工作生涯。由于世界的变化并不是很快，你也就不需要再不断地接受额外的教育去求得成功。换句话说，你的学校教育足以使你受用终生。战后生育高峰期出生的数以千万计的人们在今天准备退休的时候，许多人发现他们所受的教育已无法应对新时代的需要。许多受过良好教育的人面临着与没有受过什么教育的人相同的经济窘境,这在历史上还是第一次。人们不断地发现，要想胜任目前的工作，他们不得不去接受再教育和各种培训。你应在什么时间衡量你所受的教育成功与否你应在什么时间衡量你所受的教育是否成功?是看25岁你大学毕业时拿到的成绩单，还是在你65岁退休时，再来看它的成效?...

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...

如果坐飞机，由纽约曼哈顿往东飞，过了“东河”，飞越广袤平坦的皇后区，看到世界博览会旧址的草原公园（MeadowPark），再掠过爱丽塘（AllyPond）的一片湿地，才离开纽约市的边界，就会看见一个高起的山头。山不过几百英尺，朝北呈阶梯似地一坡一坡下降，伸向“大颈区”（GreatNeck）外的海湾；向南先有个较大的落差，再平平滑滑地延伸向远处的大西洋；向东则是长岛，那个由阿帕拉契山脉（Appalachians）冲积出来的香肠型半岛。山头上长满了树，像是一片丛林，但是掠过树梢，可以看见心型的一抹蓝，正好被四周的小山坡围绕着，这抹蓝、这片不过三十英亩的水，就是莱克瑟丝湖（L-akeSuccess）。据地质学家研究，十五万年前的冰河时期，这个山头远比今天为高，可能还相当陡峭。那时地球的气候寒冷，从北极、加拿大，一路下来都是冰天雪地，终年不融。厚达千尺的白雪一层压一层，变成冰。再由于地心引力，高处的冰逐渐往低处移动，成为...
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...

《英雄好汉》作者：温瑞安第一章唐花“无论天涯海角，我都一定要找到唐方。”萧秋水面对椅桌凌乱、但空无一人的客店，静静地发了这个誓愿。他正要离开这客店时，忽又发现了一些事物。一些凳子上、桌椅上、甚至墙壁上，都嵌有一些细如牛毛的针。一只小蚂蚁爬过。它离开一根比绣花针还细的小刺约三尺之地，忽然从壁上掉落、死了。这些暗器是有毒的。而且是剧毒。更特殊的是，这些暗器，打在哪里就跟那里的事物同一色调，打在桌上，就似桌上的一点污垢，要不是萧秋水如此精细的人留心观察，根本就看不出来。这些暗器竟似一些会变色的动物一般。这样精致的暗器，这么剧毒的暗器。结论大概只有一个：——唐门的人来过！可是唐方的暗器却是没有毒的；这点萧秋水最是清楚。然后萧秋水又看见了一朵暗器。真的是一“朵”暗器，因为那暗器是一朵花。铁花。这一朵铁制的花，美得妖艳，五瓣花开，舒放后，中央花心吐蕊，蕊心有五瓣未开，精致玲...
