第一卷┌───────┐└───────┘(第一部)第一章清晨,一列从北平向东开行的平沈通车,正驰行在广阔、碧绿的原野上。茂密的庄稼,明亮的小河,黄色的泥屋,矗立的电杆……全闪电似的在凭倚车窗的乘客眼前闪了过去。乘客们吸足了新鲜空气,看车外看得腻烦了,一个个都慢慢回过头来,有的打着呵欠,有的搜寻着车上的新奇事物。不久人们的视线都集中到一个小小的行李卷上,那上面插着用漂亮的白绸子包起来的南胡、箫、笛,旁边还放着整洁的琵琶、月琴、竹笙,……这是贩卖乐器的吗,旅客们注意起这行李的主人来。不是商人,却是一个十七八岁的女学生,寂寞地守着这些幽雅的玩艺儿。这女学生穿着白洋布短旗袍、白线袜、白运动鞋,手里捏着一条素白的手绢,——浑身上下全是白色。她没有同伴,只一个人坐在车厢一角的硬木位子上,动也不动地凝望着车厢外边。她的脸略显苍白,两只大眼睛又黑又亮。这个朴素、孤单的美丽少女...
The Beast in the Jungleby Henry JamesCHAPTER IWhat determined the speech that startled him in the course of their encounter scarcely matters, being probably but some words spoken by himself quite without intentionspoken as they lingered and slowly moved together after their renewal of acquaintance. He had been conveyed by friends an hour or two before to the house at which she was staying; the party of visitors at the other house, of whom he was one, and thanks to whom it was his theory, as al
****************二月兰第一辑*************** 曾经有很长的一段时间,我孤零零一个人住在一个很深的大院子里。从外面走进去,越走越静,自己的脚步声越听越清楚,仿佛从闹市走向深山。等到脚步声成为空谷足音的时候,我住的地方就到了。-马缨花(1)- 曾经有很长的一段时间,我孤零零一个人住在一个很深的大院子里。从外面走进去,越走越静,自己的脚步声越听越清楚,仿佛从闹市走向深山。等到脚步声成为空谷足音的时候,我住的地方就到了。 院子不小,都是方砖铺地,三面有走廊。天井里遮满了树枝,走到下面,浓荫匝地,清凉蔽体。从房子的气势来看,从梁柱的粗细来看,依稀还可以看出当年的富贵气象。...

近二十年来,公众对于歇洛克·福尔摩斯的失踪一直极为关注,这一点我非常清楚。事实上,他在莱辛巴赫瀑布失踪,后来在罗纳德·阿代尔案中再度现身,关于他这些年来的传奇经历,新闻界和文学界众说纷纭。谈论福尔摩斯失踪后我自己的情况和所作所为,有人一定会认为我自我吹嘘得太厉害,但我还是想冒险再多说两句。读过我以前作品的读者应该还记得,福尔摩斯和我到莱辛巴赫瀑布旅游,莫里亚蒂紧跟在我们后面。此事虽已过去二十年了,但当我现在拿起笔来,那最后几个小时发生的事仍然历历在目。当时福尔摩斯和我正在去瀑布的路上,我们住的那家旅馆的老板差一个年轻的瑞士服务员送给我们一封信,说是一个英国妇女刚到,她已经是肺结核晚期了,需要一位英国医生进行紧急治疗,所以他催我立即回去。我非常不情愿,但也只能丢下福尔摩斯和那个服务员匆匆赶回去了。在回去的路上,我注意到一个身材高大的人正沿着瀑布上方的小路大步疾奔,...

作为一个承前启后的雕塑家,对罗丹套用这样一句古语来评价并不过分:前不见古者,后不见来者,念天地之悠悠,独怆然而涕下。罗丹,他是古典主义时期的最后一位雕塑家,又是现代主义时期的最初的一位雕塑家。因此他一生注定了要孤独。 罗丹的一生充满了异议、批评和误解,很难进行——地解释。但其作品,那些不再仅仅只从属于他个人和他那个时代,已经成为了人类社会的美的化身,人类智慧的结晶,一直为后来人所赞叹,所欣赏,也为后人所学习,所模仿着。 多少年来,在罗丹的千百件作品中,我们心悦诚服地欣赏着,我们不无惊叹地感慨着,我们无不将目光转向那双手,创造出奇迹的手。 弗郎索瓦•奥古斯特•罗丹,伟大的雕塑家,1840年11月12日出生于巴黎市圣马塞尔的贫民区。父亲让•巴蒂斯特在警察局工作,属于低级公务员,母亲玛丽•谢弗来自法国东部摩泽尔省,1936年与罗丹的父亲结婚。两人都是...
