The Love Affairs Of A Bibliomaniacby Eugene FieldIntroductionThe determination to found a story or a series of sketches on the delights, adventures, and misadventures connected with bibliomania did not come impulsively to my brother. For many years, in short during the greater part of nearly a quarter of a century of journalistic work, he had celebrated in prose and verse, and always in his happiest and most delightful vein, the pleasures of book-hunting. Himself an indefatigable collector of
Lachesby PlatoTranslated by Benjamin JowettINTRODUCTION.Lysimachus, the son of Aristides the Just, and Melesias, the son of theelder Thucydides, two aged men who live together, are desirous of educatingtheir sons in the best manner.

像个女王那样端坐在椅子上,手边是一杯冒着热气的台湾珍珠奶茶,眼睛不假思索地飘荡在玻璃外的过道里,有什么风吹草动都可以看得清清楚楚。丫的,啥模样?帅得一塌糊涂还是平凡得扔进人堆里便找不出来?若是前者就太牛B了,绑在胳膊上多长脸啊,要的就是回头率,不当吃不当喝挣足眼球也行啊!生理和心理有一样得到满足便哦OK!要是后者,甭废话,拜拜,还不够浪费生命的呢,现在中国男女比例官方数据可是116:100,黑市数据150:100,起码有4000万至1亿男子汉找不到健康的生理发泄途径。市场经济下这么多人口供大于求,还不多挑挑拣拣,挑到手麻为止,拣到眼花为止。咱条件还不能降:车子,房子,票子,位置,孩子(省得生了),就圈在五子登科里吧。...
1979年中国改革开放以来,经济开始高速发展,中国的消费在这段时期发生了很大的变革。城乡居民年人均收入从1978年的343.4元、133.6元分别增长到2002年的7702.8元和2475.6元,增长了21.5倍和17.5倍。同时,城乡居民年人均消费也从1978年的311.16元和116.06元增长到了2002年的6029.88元和1834.31元,分别增长18.4倍和14.8倍。中国消费革命的基础是居民人均收入的增加以及购买力的飞跃,为了以事实描述中国消费革命,本章先从宏观角度以数据具体体现人均收入和购买力的巨大增长,再从微观角度以数据反映中国家庭消费结构的变化,以及基本消费(如住房)的快速成长,并以可折射出消费升级的具有象征性意义的消费类别(如汽车、旅游、保险)的跳跃增长变化加以论证。...

《邪童正史》 早熟早慧早结婚美少女养成(自序)美国老西部片里面有一句话:"你不吱一声,你模糊不清。"我看了很是害怕:对对对,你老是没动作,大众和名利圈会忘记你,所以你得不断地折腾,才能成名。小折腾成小名,大折腾成大名。这种想法导致我成为了一个忙活的人,因为我折腾的方法只有写东西,写着写着就悲从中来,觉得自己出道好多年还没有得到浮名,但是要我去折腾浮名,我又很不好意思,于是就只有更加勤奋地写。我总是觉得自己接受的工作不够多,我给自己布置了很多工作,给自己写了很多应该让人们抄下来垫在玻璃桌板下的时间表。我是一个喜欢把时间掰成几瓣来过的人,我的时间板块一向比同龄人多。我在《新京报》写专栏的时候,起初在作者"蒋方舟"后面的括号里有(十四岁)的标注,后来括号里面就改成了(十四岁半)。这样的年龄表示法,得到了很多超过十四岁半的读者的鄙视,但是我觉得"岁半"的说法,很符合我的现状。...
血水已经漫到了床沿底下,它们仍然还在不断地从一个巨大的棉花球里涌出来。那棉球在血水中央,已经显露出比黑暗更深的颜色。女人环抱双臂瑟瑟抖个不停,五官已随着面颊肌肉的颤动扭曲变形。她看到在血水里游动着好几个刚出生的婴孩,他们挥动着细小的胳膊,举起又落下,拍打着血水。她感觉到有些血滴溅落到了自己的脸上,脸上立刻觉出了被灼伤的痛感。血水涌动着,婴儿们都在奋力向床边游来。他们刚才各自用锋利的牙齿咬断了脐带,现在,再没有东西可以束缚他们了。女人知道这些婴儿的用意,他们不立刻伤害她,而是特别惬意地游来游去,只不过是要来折磨她,他们喜欢看她的恐惧,看她蜷缩在床上瑟瑟抖个不停。他们游动时还会发出一些奇怪的声音,如果你没有听过刚出生的婴儿说话,便一定弄不清那些声音表达的含义。但女人肚子里的孩子却能听懂,像是回应,他开始不安份地动弹起来。...
The Heroes, or Greek Fairy Tales For My Childrenby Charles KingsleyPREFACEMY DEAR CHILDREN,Some of you have heard already of the old Greeks; and all of you, as you grow up, will hear more and more of them. Those of you who are boys will, perhaps, spend a great deal of time in reading Greek books; and the girls, though they may not learn Greek, will be sure to come across a great many stories taken from Greek history, and to see, I may say every day, things which we should not have had if

三国演义 下卷罗贯中第五十回 诸葛亮智算华容 关云长义释曹操却说当夜张辽一箭射黄盖下水,救得曹操登岸,寻着马匹走时,军已大乱。韩当冒烟突火来攻水寨,忽听得士卒报道:"后梢舵上一人,高叫将军表字。"韩当细听,但闻高叫"义公救我?"当曰:"此黄公覆也!"急教救起。见黄盖负箭着伤,咬出箭杆,箭头陷在肉内。韩当急为脱去湿衣,用刀剜出箭头,扯旗束之,脱自己战袍与黄盖穿了,先令别船送回大寨医治。原来黄盖深知水性,故大寒之时,和甲堕江,也逃得性命。却说当日满江火滚,喊声震地。左边是韩当、蒋钦两军从赤壁西边杀来;右边是周泰、陈武两军从赤壁东边杀来;正中是周瑜、程普、徐盛、丁奉大队船只都到。火须兵应,兵仗火威。此正是:三江水战,赤壁鏖兵。曹军着枪中箭、火焚水溺者,不计其数。后人有诗曰:"魏吴争斗决雌雄,赤壁楼船一扫空。烈火初张照云海,周郎曾此破曹公。"又有一绝云:"山高月小水茫茫,追叹前朝...
