1616..The pleasant family
When in an hour they crowded into a cab to go home，I strolled idly to my club.I was perhaps a little lonely，and it was with a touch of envy that I thought of the pleasant family life of which I had had a glimp.They emed devoted to one another.They had little private jokes of their own which，unintelligible to the outsider，amud them enormously.Perhaps Charles Strickland was dull judged by a standard that demanded above all things verbal scintillation；but his intelligence was adequate to his surroundings，and that is a passport，not only to reasonable success，but still more to happiness.Mrs.Strickland was a charming woman，and she loved him.I pictured their lives，troubled by no untoward adventure，honest，decent，and，by reason of tho two upstanding，pleasant children，so obviously destined to carry on the normal traditions of their race and station，not without significance.They would grow old innsibly；they would e their son and daughter come to years of reason，marry in due cour——the one a pretty girl，future mother of healthy children；the other a handsome，manly fellow，obviously a soldier；and at last，prosperous in their dignified retirement，beloved by their descendants，after a happy，not unuful life，in the fullness of their age they would sink into the grave.
——Excerpt from the Moon and Sixpennce by W.Somert Maugham
一个钟头以后，这一家挤上一辆马车回家去了，我也一个人懒散地往俱乐部踱去。我也许感到有一点寂寞，回想我刚才瞥见的这种幸福家庭生活，心里不无艳羡之感。这一家人感情似乎非常融洽。他们说一些外人无从理解的小笑话，笑得要命。如果纯粹从善于辞令这一角度衡量一个人的智慧，也许查理斯。思特里克兰德算不得聪明，但是在他自己的那个环境里，他的智慧还是绰绰有余的，这不仅是事业成功的敲门砖，而且是生活幸福的保障。思特里克兰德太太是一个招人喜爱的女人，她很爱她的丈夫。我想象着这一对夫妻的生活，不受任何灾殃祸变的干扰，诚实、体面，两个孩子更是规矩可爱，肯定会继承和发扬这一家人的地位和传统。在不知不觉间，他们俩的年纪越来越老，儿女却逐渐长大成人，到了一定的年龄，就会结婚成家——一个已经出息成美丽的姑娘，将来还会生育活泼健康的孩子；另一个则是仪表堂堂的男子汉，显然会成为一名。最后这一对夫妻告老引退，受到子孙敬爱，过着富足、体面的晚年。他们幸福的一生并未虚度，直到年寿已经很高，才告别了人世。—摘自《月亮与六便士》威廉•萨默塞特•毛姆

1717..Two views of times
Imagine that you spent your whole life at a single hou.Each day at the same hour you entered an
artificially-lit room,undresd and took up the same position in front of a motion picture camera.It photographed one frame of you per day,every day of your life.On your venty-cond birthday,the reel of film was shown.You saw yourlf growing and aging over venty-two years in less than half an hour(27.4minites at sixteen frames per cond).Images of this sort,though terrifying,are helpful in suggesting unfamiliar but uful perspectives of time.They may,for example,symbolize the telescoped,almost momentary charater of the past as en through the eyes of an anxious or disa-ffected individual.Or they may suggest the remarkable brevity of our lifes in the cosmic scale of time.If the estimated age of the cosmos were shorted to venty-two years,a human life would take about ten conds.
But look at time the other way.Each day is a minor eternity of over86000conds.During each cond,the number of distinct molecular functions going on with the human body is comparable to the mumber of conds in the estimated age of the cosmos,A few conds are long enough for a revolutionary idea,a startling communication,a baby's conception,a wounding insult,a sudden death.Depending on how we think of them,our lives can be infinitely long or infinitely short.
1818..Youth
Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind;it is not a matter ofrosy cheeks,red lips and supple knees;it is a matter of the will,aquality of the imagination,a vigor of the emotions;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
care down cool>nice boyYouth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity,of theappetite for adventure over the love of ea.This often exists in a man of60more than a boy of20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by derting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry,fear,lf-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
inzaghiWhether60or16,there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope,cheer,courage and power from men and from the Infinite,so long are you young.

青春塞缪尔·厄尔曼
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
制造商英语岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
sprayer1919..advice to a young man
Remember,my son,you have to work.Whether you handle a pick or a pen,a wheel-barrow or a t of books,digging ditches or editing a paper,ringing an auction bell or writing funny things,you must work.If you look around you will e the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest.Don't be afraid of killing yourlf with overwork.It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty.They die sometimes,but it is becau they quit work at six in the evening,and do not go home until two in the morning.It’s the interval that kills,my son.The work gives you an appetite for your meals;it lends solidity to your slumbers,it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men who do not work,but the world is not proud of them.It does not know their names,even it simply speaks of them as“old So-and-So’s boy”.Nobody likes them;the great,busy world doesn’t know that they are there.So find out what you want to be and do,and take off your coat and make a dust in the world.The busier you are,the less harm you will be apt to get into,the sweeter will be your sleep,the brighter and happier your holidays,and the better satisfied will the world be with you.

By Robert Jones Burdette
谨记，我的年轻人，你们必须工作．不管你是使锄头还是用笔，也不管是推手推车还是编记账簿，也不管你是种地还是编辑报纸，是拍卖师亦或是作家，都必须有一份工作，并为之努力奋斗．如果仔细观察周围的人，你就会发现，那些工作最努力的人最有可能安享晚年而无须去工作．不要害怕超负荷的工作会缩短你的寿命，不足三十岁的年龄，你的承受能力远不止如此．如果说真的有人过早送命，那完全是因为他们在晚上六点结束工作，却要在外流连到凌晨两点才归家．我的年轻人，正是晚上六点到凌晨两点的这段时间的生活毁了他们自己．工作会增加你的食欲，工作会使你安然入睡，工作将会使你心满意足地享受假日．
behaves有的年轻人不工作，但世界并不会因他们自豪。它不知道他们的姓名，甚至简单地将他们概括为“老令人讨厌者的男孩”。没有人喜欢他们；伟大，繁忙的世界不知道他们在那里。因此，找出哪些你想成为和做的，脱下你的外衣，把粉尘抛在世界上。越是繁忙的你越是少受伤害，甜蜜将成为您的睡眠，光明和幸福着您的假期，更好地满足你的意志世界。

人；我们俯视令人目眩心悸的悬崖峭壁，远眺鲜花盛开的山谷；我们把地图摊开，任意指点全球；我们把星辰移到眼前观看，还在显微镜下观察极其微小的生物，我们学历史，亲自目睹帝国的兴亡，时代的交替；我们听人谈论西顿、推罗、巴比伦和苏撒的勋业，如同听一番往昔的盛会，听了以后，我们说这些事确实发生过，但现在却是过眼云烟了；我们思考着自己生活的时代，生活的地区；我们在人生的活动舞台上既当观众，又当演员；我们观察四季更迭，春秋代序，我们听见了___
野鸽在浓密的树林中哀诉，
树林随微风的叹息而低语。
___我们横绝大漠；我们倾听了子夜的歌声；我们光顾灯火辉煌的厅堂，走下阴森森的地牢，或者坐在万头攒动的剧院里观看生活本身受到的摩拟；我们亲身感受炎热和寒冷，快乐和痛苦，正义和邪恶，真理和谬误；我们钻研艺术作品，把自己的美感提高到极其敏锐的程度；我们崇拜荣誉，梦想不朽；我们阅读莎士比亚，或者把自己和牛顿爵士视为同一族类，正当我们面临这一切，从事这一切的时候，自己却在一刹那之间化为虚无，眼前的一切像是魔术师手中的圆球，像是一场幻影，一下子全都消失得无影无踪......
2121..The English character
The English em as silent as the Japane,yet vainer than the inhabitants of Siam.Upon my arrival I attributed that rerve to modesty,which,I now find,has its origin in pride.Condescend to address them first,and you are sure of their acquaintance;stoop to flattery,and you conciliate their friendship and esteem.They bear hunger,cold,fatigue,and all the miries of life without shrinking, danger only calls forth their fortitude;they even exult in calamity,but contemp is what they cannot bear.An Englishman fears contempt more than death;he often flies to death as a refuge from its pressure,and dies when he fancies the world has cread to esteem him.by Oliver Goldsmith
2222..The u of history
There are two ways of thinking of history.There is,first,history regarded as a way of look ing at other things,really the temporal aspect of anything,from the univer to this nib with which I am writing.Everything has its history.There is the history of the univer,if only we knew it－and we know something of it,if we do not know much.Nor is the contrast so great,when you come to think of it,between the univer and this pen-nib.A mere pen-nib has quite a considerable
