用拆字先生的办法,望文生义,家最初显然和猪圈有关,而家的发展,当然是让它越来越不像猪圈。不过,我

大的买,生怕春色不够似的;我则逗留在顶边上的柜台,那儿不起眼地堆着我一个冬天未见的青苹果。相争不下,索性各按自己的偏好买了一网兜,都很不服气的样子,暗笑对方不会享受真正的生活。 小时候吃苹果,我也爱挑红润的.因其意味着成熟.而熟透的水果必然甜美爽口。年岁渐增,熟悉了生活中诸般滋味之后,反倒偏爱上青苹果的那种清甜——带着点酸涩的甜、饱含水分的甜,咬一口有清脆的声响。也许,成熟、甜蜜乃至完美.并非生命的终极意义.更重要的倒是向这一目标趋近过程中万般况味的体验:唇齿之间的那一分青涩在不断转变着,反倒显得生动、真实。正如稚齿孩童可能认定糖果是世界上最好的东西,成人之后反而学会并且喜好品味茶或咖啡——其底蕴更切近于生活的本质。

in taverns, coffee-houses, and other places of public resort, I have thereby an opportunity of observing an infinite variety of characters, which, to a person of contemplative turn, is a much higher entertainment than a view of all the curiosities of art or nature. Amongst a multiplicity of other topics, we took occasion to talk of the different characters of the several nations of Europe; when one of the gentlemen, cocking his hat, and assuming such an air of importance as if he had possessed all the merit of the English nation in his own person, declared that the Dutch were a parcel of avaricious wretches; the French a set of flattering sycophants; that the Germans were drunken sots, and beastly gluttons; and the Spaniards proud, haughty, and surly tyrants; but that in bravery, generosity, clemency, and in every other virtue, the English excelled all the rest of the world.

e kind of world and wake up to find yourself in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment, then where is it to be found? The very stealth, the eerie quietness, of the thing makes it more magical. If all the snow fell at once in one shattering crash, awakening us in the middle of the night the event would be robbed of its wonder. But it flutters down, soundless, hour after hour while we are asleep. Outside the closed curtains of the bedroom a vast transformation scene is taking place, just as if a myriad elves and brownies were at work, and we turn and yawn and stretch and know nothing about it. And then, what an extraordinary change it is! It is as if the house you are in had been dropped down in another continent. Even the inside, which has not been touched. seems different, every room appearing smaller and cosier, just as if some power were trying to turn it into a woodcutters hut or a snug log-cabin.

ads only from train windows. On the journey over to the lake I began to wonder what it would be like. I wondered how time would have marred this unique, this holy spot—the coves and streams, the hills that the sun set behind, the camps and the paths behind the camps. I was sure that the tarred road would have found it out and I wondered in what other ways it would be desolated. It is strange how much you can remember about places like that once you allow your mind to return into the grooves which lead back. You remember one thing, and that suddenly reminds you of another thing. I guess I remembered clearest of all the early mornings, when the lake was cool and motionless, remembered how the bedroom smelled of the lumber it was made of and of the wet woods whose scent entered through the screen. The partitions in the camp were thin and did not extend clear to the top of the rooms, and as I was always the first up I would dress softly so as not to wake the others, and sneak out into the sweet outdoors and start out in the canoe, keeping close along the shore in the long shadows of the pines. I remembered being very careful never to rub my paddle against the gunwale for fear of disturbing the stillness of the cathedral.

鸡产的,因此很偏爱它,捉的蟑螂也专喂给它吃。但日子一久,秘密揭穿了,原来那只唱鸡下蛋很少,而不叫的那只却一天一个,且蛋刚落地就一声不响地离开鸡窝,由那只唱鸡站在蛋边大喊大叫。 闲聊时和朋友谈及此事,他以为我的言外之意不在鸡,而是在论人。说到人,在我们中确实是有很多沉默寡言的人,他们牢牢蹲在自己的岗位上,夜以继日,埋头苦干,替国家创造了大量的物质财富,为人民做出一项又一项的优异成绩。他们像母鸡一样,吞的是粗糠老菜,产下的是蛋,而且往往一声不响。但也有一种人,嘴尖舌长,能说会道,自我吹嘘,滔滔不绝,像那只爱唱的母鸡一样,占着个鸡窝不下蛋。个别恶劣的还窃取别人的成果去报喜称功,一点不觉得惭愧。
第6题
出秋比冬为什么更好,也许因为那枝头的几片黄叶,或是那篱畔的几朵残花,在那些上边,是比较冬天更显示了生命,不然,是在那些上面,更使我忆起了生命吧,一只黄叶,一片残英,那在联系着过去与将来吧。它们将更使人凝视,更使人沉思,更使人怀想及希冀一些关于生活的事吧。这样,人曾感到了真实的存在。过去,现在,将来,世界是真实的,人生是真实的,一切都是真实的,所有的梦境,所有的幻想,都是无用的了,无用的事物都一幕幕地掣了过去,我们要向着人生静默,祈祷,来打算一些真实的事物了。 给了人更远的希望,向前的鞭策,意识到了生之实在的,而且给人以“沉着”的力量的,是这正在凋亡着的秋。我爱秋天,我对于这荒凉的秋天有如一位多年的朋友。

lengthen as the sun declines. " It is beautifully said; but, in my opinion, this continual comparing of notes interferes with the involuntary impression of things upon the mind, and hurts the sentiment. If you only hint what you feel in a kind of dumb show, it is insipid; if you have to explain it, it is making a toil of a pleasure. You cannot read the book of nature without being perpetually put to the trouble of translating it for the benefit of others. I am for this synthetical method on a journey in preference to the analytical. I am content to lay in a stock of ideas then, and to examine and anatomize them afterwards. I want to see my vague notions float like the down of the thistle before the breeze, and not to have them entangled in the briars and thorns of controversy. For once, I like to have it all my own way; and this is impossible unless you are alone, or in such company as I do not covet. I have no objection to argue a point with any one for twenty miles of measured road, but not for pleasure.

out how the world works, to seek what regularities there may be, to penetrate to the connections of things—from sub-nuclear particles, which may be the constituents of all matter, to living organisms, the human social community, and thence to the cosmos as a whole. Our intuition is by no means an infallible guide. Our perceptions may be distorted by training and prejudice or merely because of the limitations of our sense organs, which, of course, perceive directly but a small fraction of the phenomena of the world. Even so straightforward a question as whether in the absence of friction a pound of lead falls faster than a grain of fluff was answered incorrectly by Aristotle and almost everyone else before the time of Galileo. Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage—at the very least, the courage to question the conventional wisdom.

自然,只不过服从了自然,避免了一些可避免的困难,但没能除绝祸害。地震、飓风,以及类似的大骚动都提醒人们,宇宙还没有尽人自己的掌握。事实上,人类的苦难何止于天灾,还有人祸;何止于人祸,还有个人难以言状的不幸。尤其是个人不幸,即使在未来高度发达了的理想社会里,也会忠实地伴随着人生啊! 由此,自古而今的仁人志士都常怀忧国忧民之心。中国知识分子从屈原以来尽皆“哀民生之多艰”;中国之外的伯特兰-罗素也说过,三种单纯然而极其强烈的激情支配着他的一生。 他说,那是对爱情的渴望,对知识的寻求,对人类苦难痛彻肺腑的怜悯。他说,爱情和知识把他向上导往天堂,但怜悯又总是把他带回人间。痛苦的呼喊在他们中反响、回荡。因为无助于人类,他说他感到痛苦。
第10题
我家的。最初零零碎碎,中间成套成批。有的来自京沪,有的来自苏杭。最初,囊中羞涩,也曾交臂相失。中间也曾一掷百金,稍有豪气。总之,时历三十余年,我同他们,可称故旧。 十年浩劫,我自顾不暇,无心也无力顾及它们。但它们辗转多处,经受折磨、潮湿、践踏、撞破,终于还是回来了。失去了一些,我有些惋惜,但也不愿去寻觅它们,因为我失去的东西,比起它们,更多也更重要。
