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： 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： THE family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex. Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland Park, in the centre of their property, where, for many generations, they had lived in so respectable a manner as to engage the general good opinion of their surrounding acquaintance. The late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who, for many years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper in his sister. But her death, which happen查看详情>

简介： Ennis Del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing in around the aluminum door and window frames. The shirts hanging on a nail shudder slightly in the draft. He gets up, scratching the grey wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan the flame swathes it in blue. He turns on the tap and urinates in the sink, pulls on his shirt and jeans, his worn boots, stamping the heels against the floor to get them full on. The wind 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>

简介： 每当我钻进被窝搂着海伦时，我都会想到这世界上再没有比在天寒地冻的夜里搂着自己的好女人更享受的事。　　20世纪30年代的时候还没有电热毯，或许是那时的人们觉得兽医比这些玩意儿都重要吧。总之，在凌晨时分新陈代谢到了最低点的时候，被迫从温暖的被窝中爬出来是最残忍不过的事了。　　幸而，自我结婚以后，这种寒夜出诊的苦差事已经在我记忆中淡出了，因为每当我像刚从北极回来似的爬回她身边时，她总是毫不畏惧地迎接我，用她的体温温暖我那冻得跟冰棒似的躯体。顿时，两个小时之内所发生的事情似乎都像梦那么不真实了。　　这天凌晨1点电话又响了。星期天凌晨听到这种尖锐的电话声是很平常的，因为周末一些晚睡的农人总会在睡前检查牲口，看看是不是要找个倒霉的兽医。　　这回是应海罗先生，他说话的时候总是用那单薄沙哑的声音一口气说完一个句子。　　&ldquo我的母羊有点毛病，你来一趟好吗？&rdquo　　&ldquo很严重吗？&rdquo每次半夜昏头昏脑地接到这类电话时，我都期待着对方愿意延到第二天早晨。不过这种奢望从未实现过，至少像应先生这种人是死也不会愿意的。　　&ldquo很糟，我想总得有个人过来瞧瞧。&rdquo　　看来查看详情>
