简介： 第一卷 序章那是场凄绝的死亡。长久以来，消灭过无数鬼怪、象徵绝对力量的鬼械神艾翁。但是，这模仿神所造出的钢铁巨人，现在也已经不动了。残缺的脸孔、被撕裂的手臂、被轰碎的双腿&hellip&hellip刻划在它躯体上的无数伤痕说明了战斗的激烈，破碎剥落的装甲彷佛就像樱花凋零的花瓣。甚至已经不成人形、化为铁块的机械之神，垂倒在被瘴气与狂意玷污的污秽废墟中，迎接这充满悔恨的死。突然间，刮起一阵风。那将污秽的空间撕裂，逐渐净化一切的疾风，从上空带来了数百张的纸片，那幅光景就像是大量洒落的纸花，不同的是，那些纸片像是有灵性一样，以一定的规则性飘落，只见那带著淡薄磷光的纸片逐一重合，没过多久就在空中凝聚成一本书。离奇的现象没有就此停止，变成书的纸片接著再次散开，飞舞在空中，紧接著飞舞的纸片重新凝聚，这次纸片没有变成书籍，而是化成一名少女。少女在艾翁前方落地後，缓缓地睁开双眼。在这瞬间，她翡翠色的双眸染上了绝望的神色，少女的牙齿紧咬著唇，紧握的拳头不停颤抖，愤怒与绝望等各种负面情绪在心中翻腾，让少女晶莹剔透的白晰肌肤随之泛红。少女朝艾翁走近一步。然而在下一瞬间，勉强维持原形的巨人却伴随一声巨响，应声支查看详情>

简介： 现在她得独自从车站步行回家去，而我也要乘坐火车回家了，这样她只能一个人上路。森野的精神状态似乎有些不佳，我无法肯定她一个人是否能够平安回家。 　　''起初，我觉得你和我有些地方很相似。跟你在一起时，有一种和姐姐在一起的感觉。但是，我错了，我们并不一样&hellip&hellip'' 　　森野的书包是纯黑色的。我把书包捡起来，放在她的手上，但我立刻听到书包掉在地上的声音。 　　我又把书包捡起来，并再一次放在她的手上。然而，依然没有任何反应。她似乎已经没有抓住书包的力气。手指经不起书包的重压，书包提手从她手上滑下去。 　　''神山，我觉得你常常在违背内心地傻笑。我这样说要是让你不高兴的话，我表示抱歉&hellip&hellip 也许是因为我所认识的你和那个在别人面前强颜欢笑的你完全不同，我才会有这样的感觉吧&hellip&hellip 我有时觉得你真的很可怜&hellip&hellip'' 　　她低着头这样说道。声音有些发抖，就像快要哭出声的孩子。 　　''我先申明一下，我可不是这样子的&hellip&hellip''查看详情>

简介： 苏联乌克兰谢尔沃伊村 1933年1月25日自从玛丽娅决定去死的时候，她的猫就不得不自谋生路。她对这只猫咪的照顾远远超出了看养宠物本身的意义。很长时间以来，村民们一直都在以捕杀老鼠为生，之后不久，家畜也都随之不见了。这只陪伴着她的猫咪却是个例外，因为她一直将其藏匿得很好。她为什么没有杀死这只猫呢？因为，她需要依靠某种东西才能活下去，需要某种东西去保护和爱&mdash&mdash那是她赖以生存的希望。她曾经暗自承诺，要继续饲养这只猫，直到她自己的生活无以为计的那一天为止。那一天就是今天。她已经将自己的皮靴割成细条，与荨麻和甜菜子一起在开水里煮着吃掉了。她也挖过蚯蚓，还吸过树皮里的树汁。今天早上，神志极度恍惚的她甚至抱着厨房板凳的凳腿啃了起来，她一直不停地咀嚼，直到嘴里冒出好多碎片。这只猫一看见她就溜走了，躲在床铺下面不再现身，就算她跪在地上呼唤它的名字，想要哄它出来，也无济于事。就在这一刻，玛丽娅决定去死，因为现在，既没有东西让她吃，也没有东西值得她去爱。玛丽娅等到夜幕降临的时候才打开前门，她暗自思忖，在夜幕的掩护下，她的猫也许有机会跑到树林里躲起来。一旦被任何村民看到，他们都会猎捕它。即查看详情>

简介： 在中国改革问题上，存在三种不同的态度。第一，没必要改革。虽然不是所有的中国人都这样想，但无疑有不少中国人抱着这一态度。某些不了解中国的西方人也这样认为，第二，改革不可能成功。真正的、长期的改革尚未开始，就必定会遇到巨大的障碍，许多有机会了解到这一点的人，都持有这种悲观的论调。他们认为，对庞大的中国进行彻底的改革，就像给木乃伊注入活力使其复活一样，毫无希望。不过，如果没有我们前面的论述，这一观点就显得论据不足。　　　还有人认为，中国不仅需要改革，而且也可能成功。他们认为，问题的关键在于以何种方式进行改革。这方面，也有几种观点。　　　我们首先面对的问题是，中国是否能够自我革新？认识到改革之必要的中国政治家认为，中国当然应该自我革新。最近，北京《邸报》的一份奏折中，就有一个自我革新的例子。写奏折的官员抱怨内地某省的百姓骚动不安，并说他己派出一批得力人员奔赴各地，向百姓宣讲康熙皇帝的《神训广谕》。他显然是希望以这种强有力的方式教化百姓，移民易俗。尽管一无所获，但宣讲道德箴言（对基督教传道的原始模仿）在改良人的道德品行方面，仍不失为一种最有希望获得成功的方法。教化失败后，没有别的办法，只能像过去查看详情>

简介： When young Mark Robarts was leaving college, his father might well declare that all men began to say all good things to him, and to extol his fortune in that he had a son blessed with an excellent disposition. This father was a physician living at Exeter. He was a gentleman possessed of no private means, but enjoying a lucrative practice, which had enabled him to maintain and educate a family with all the advantages which money can give in this country.
