好久,好久,我就想写一篇文章替一位在清贫中默默死去的朋友揩掉溅在他身上的污泥,可是一直没有动笔,因为我一则害怕麻烦,二则无法摆脱我那种“拖”的习惯。时光水似的一年一年流去,我一个字也没有写出来。今天又在落雨,暮春天气这样冷我这一生也少见,夜已深,坐在书桌前,接连打两个冷噤,腿发麻,似乎应该去睡了。我坐着不动,仍然在“拖”着。忽然有什么东西烧着我的心,我推开面前摊开的书,埋着头在抽屉里找寻什么...
躺在这里的是一个绝望的女人。山地的春光总是来的迟些,风是有些寒意的。旧年的秋草在风中摇曳出一片枯黄的时候,已有刺儿菜的嫩芽探出头,但因少的可怜,不足以点缀出一片绿,以致我极目四望,还是满目的荒凉。 自从我六年前来过这里,也就是把这个女人安放在这里,我已经六年没回来过了,尽管别人来过,那是别人的事,我已有整六年没往这里送过脚印了。
Words from the heart(最后的表白) 立即阅读
Most people need to hear those "three little words" I love you. Once in a while, they hear them just in time. I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward, where I worked as a volunteer. Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney to the hospital bed. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was alert and cheerful. We got her settled in.
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.
今天是你走脱这世界的四周年!朋友,我们这次拿什么来纪念你?前两次的用香花感伤的围上你的照片,抑住嗓子底下叹息和悲哽,朋友和朋友无聊的对望着,完成一种纪念的形式,俨然是愚蠢的失败。因为那时那种近于伤感,而又不够宗教庄严的举动,除却点明了你和我们中间的距离,生和死的间隔外,实在没有别的成效;几乎完全不能达到任何真实纪念的意义。
That's what friends do(朋友就该这么做) 立即阅读
Jack tossed the papers on my desk—his eyebrows knit into a straight line as he glared at me. What’s wrong?" I asked. He jabbed a finger at the proposal. "Next time you want to change anything, ask me first," he said, turning on his heels and leaving me stewing in anger. How dare he treat me like that, I thought. I had changed one long sentence, and corrected grammar, something I thought I was paid to do.
一九六八年六月九日《中央日报》方块文章井心先生记载着:“以写作手法新颖,自成一格……的作者沈从文,不久以前,在大陆因受不了迫害而死。听说他喝过一次煤油,割过一次静脉,终于带着不屈服的灵魂而死去了。”接着又说:“他出身行伍,而以文章闻名;自称小兵,而面目姣好如女子,说话、态度尔雅、温文……。”“他写得一手娟秀的《灵飞经》……。”这几句话描写得确切而生动,使我想起沈从文其人。我现在先发表他一封...
代沟是翻译过来的一个比较新的名词,但这个东西是我们古已有之的。自从人有老少之分,老一代与少一代之间就有一道沟,可能是难以飞渡的深沟天堑,也可能是一步迈过的小渎阴沟,总之是其间有个界限。沟这边的人看沟那边的人不顺眼,沟那边的人看沟这边的人不像话,也许吹胡子瞪眼,也许拍桌子卷袖子,也许口出恶声,也许真个的闹出命案,看双方的气质和修养而定。《尚书·远逸》:“相小人,厥父母勤劳稼穑。厥子乃不知稼穑之艰...
时间好像在飞跑,靳以逝世一转眼就二十年了。但我总觉得他还活着。 一九三一年我第一次在上海看见他,他还在复旦大学念书,在同一期的《小说月报》上发表了我们两人的短篇小说。一九三三年年底在北平文学季刊社我们开始在一起工作。(他在编辑《文学季刊》,我只是在旁边帮忙看稿,出点主意。)这以后我们或者在一个城市里,或者隔了千山万水,从来没有中断联系,而且我仍然有在一起工作的感觉。他写文章,编...
