要是今生遗憾大多，在背运的当儿，尤其在背运之后情绪渐渐平静了或麻木了，你独自呆一会儿，抽支烟，不妨想一想来世。你不妨随心所欲地设想一下（甚至是设计一下）自己的来世。你不妨试试。在背运的时候，至少我觉得这不失为一剂良药——先可以安神，而后又可以振奋，就像输惯了的赌徒把屡屡的败绩置于脑后，输光了裤子也还是对下一局存着饱满的好奇和必赢的冲动。这没有什么不好。这有什么不好吗？无非是说迷信，好吧，你就...
一 现在全国正弥漫着学外语的风气，学习的主要是英语，而这个选择是完全正确的。因为英语实际上已经成了一种世界语。学会了英语，几乎可以走遍天下，碰不到语言不通的困难。水平差的，有时要辅之以一点手势。那也无伤大雅，语言的作用就在于沟通思想。在一般生活中，思想决不会太复杂的。懂一点外语，即使有点洋泾浜，也无大碍，只要“老内”和“老外”的思想能够沟通，也就...
“请问余光中先生在家吗？噢，您就是余先生吗？这里是台大医院小儿科病房。我告诉你噢，你的小宝宝不大好啊，医生说他的情形很危险……什么？您知道了？您知道了就行了。”“喂，余先生吗？我跟你说噢，那个小孩子不行了，希望你马上来医院一趟……身上已经出现黑斑，医生说实在是很危险了……再不来，恐怕就……”

On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset,then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.

Love is just a thread（爱如丝线） 立即阅读
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say.
Can I see my baby? the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred.

“八·一三战事”爆发的一礼拜后，我接到我的弟弟从广州中央军校的来信，里面提到吴履逊因为老婆是日本人的关系，把军队里的职务丢了，而且和他的季子夫人离了婚。这个消息使我吃惊不小，——这是怎么一回事呢？假如说，吴履逊突然为了什么事给人枪毙了，这倒干脆得多，吴履逊是一个壮健，有毅力的男子，他耐得苦，当得起大事，能够打破一切的困难，我曾经为他这独特人品立下了一个确定的公式：广东人＋男子汉＋军人＝吴履逊
