简介： 一 开场[祭司携一群乞援人自观众右方上，　　俄狄浦斯偕众侍从自宫中上。俄：孩儿们，老卡德摩斯的现代儿孙，城里正弥漫着香烟，到处是求生的歌声和苦痛的呻吟，你们为什么坐在我面前，捧着这些缠羊毛的树枝？孩儿们，我不该听旁人传报，我，人人知道的俄狄浦斯，亲自出来了。　　（向祭司）老人家，你说吧，你年高德劭，正应当替他们说话。你们有什么心事，为什么坐在这里？你们有什么忧虑，有什么心愿？我愿意尽力帮助你们，我要是不怜悯你们这样的乞援人，未免太狠心了。祭：啊，俄狄浦斯，我邦的君主，请看这些坐在你祭坛前的人都是怎样的年纪：有的还不会高飞；有的是祭司，像身为宙斯祭司的我，已经老态龙钟；还有的是青壮年。其余的人也捧着缠羊毛的树枝坐在市场里，帕拉斯的神庙前，伊斯墨诺斯庙上的神托所的火灰旁边。因为这城邦，像你亲眼看见的，正在血红的波浪里颠簸着，抬不起头来；田间的麦穗枯萎了，牧场上的牛瘟死了，妇人流产了；最可恨的带火的瘟神降临到这城邦，使卡德摩斯的家园变为一片荒凉，幽暗的冥土里倒充满了悲叹和哭声。　　我和这些孩子并不是把你看作天神，才坐在这祭坛前求你，我们是把你当作天灾和人生祸患的救星；你曾经来到卡德摩斯的城邦查看详情>

简介： 在地底洞穴中住着一名哈比人。这可不是那种又脏又臭又湿，长满了小虫，满是腐败气味的洞穴；但是，它也并非是那种空旷多沙、了无生气、没有家具的无聊洞穴。这是个哈比人居住的洞穴，也是舒舒服服的同义词。这座洞穴有个像是舷窗般浑圆、漆成绿色的大门，在正中央有个黄色的闪亮门把。大门打开之后，是一个圆管状像是隧道的客厅：这是个没有烟雾的舒适客厅，有着精心装饰的墙壁，地板上铺着地毯和磁砖，四处还摆着许多打磨光亮的椅子。由于哈比人超爱客人来访，因此这里还有很多很多的衣帽架。隧道继续延伸，蜿蜒地深入山丘中，附近许多哩的人们都叫这座山丘为&ldquo小丘&rdquo，小丘各个方向还盖了许多圆形的小门。哈比人可是不爬楼梯的：卧室、浴室、酒窖、餐点室（超多的呢！）、更衣室（他有一整间房间都是用来放衣服的）、厨房、饭厅，全部都在同一层楼，也都在同一条走廊上。最好的房间都是在左手边（继续往里面走也一样），因为只有这方向的房间才有窗户，这些浑圆的窗户可以俯瞰他美丽的花园，和一路延伸向河边的翠绿草地。这名哈比人生活相当富裕，他姓巴金斯。巴金斯一家人自古以来，就居住在小丘这一带，附近的邻居都很尊敬他们；不单只是因为他们大部查看详情>

简介： It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way&mdashin short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its nois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. Mark was his eldest son and second child a查看详情>

简介： On the evening of the 17th March 1859, Captain Craventy gave a fête at Fort Reliance. Our readers must not at once imagine a grand entertainment, such as a court ball, or a musical soirée with a fine orchestra. Captain Craventy&rsquos reception was a very simple affair, yet he had spared no pains to give it éclat.In fact, under the auspices of Corporal Joliffe, the large room on the ground-floor was completely transformed. The rough walls, constructed of roughly-hewn trunks of t查看详情>

简介： Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon `Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined,myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the 查看详情>

简介： 顺流而下坐慢船，由重庆顺流而下，我来到了涪陵。这是一个温暖，清爽的夜晚，在1996年八月的尾声。长江上星光闪烁，星光微弱，无法从黑色的水面反射出来。一辆学校派来的小车，载着我们从码头出发，沿着丛丛曲折的小路前行。城市在我们身边急速掠过，在星光之下，它显得黯淡，陌生。我们有两个人。我，27岁；亚当梅勒，22岁，我们还很年轻，是被派到这里来做教师的。之前我们几乎从未听闻过涪陵。我所知的，乃是这城市部分将因新近建设的三峡大坝而淹没，我还知道，涪陵许多年来，一直对外面的人封闭。除此，就没什么关于涪陵的信息了。半个世纪来，没有美国人在此生活过。后来，我碰到城里一些长者，他们还记得在1940年代住在这里的美国居民，在1949年共产党解放之前，而这些记忆又总是相当的模糊。在我们抵达时，这里还住有另一个外国人，一个德国人，他在一所当地中学教了一个学期。但我们只和他碰了一次面，其后不久他便离开了。在那之后，我们便是这小城中仅有的两个外国人。这里的人口大约二十万，以中国的标准来说只能算是小城。涪陵不通铁路。长期以来，它都是四川省的一个贫穷地区，公路状况很是糟糕。去哪儿你都得搭船，而多数时候，你哪儿也不会去查看详情>
