月夜孤舟（无注释版）
庐隐 试读
这孤舟上的人们——有寻春的骄子，有飘泊的归客，——在咿呀的桨声中，夹杂着欢情的低吟，和凄意的叹息。把舵的阮君在清辉下，辨认着孤舟的方向，森帮着摇桨，这时他们的确负有伟大的使命，可以使人们得到安全，也可以使人们沉溺于死的深渊。森努力拔开牵绊的水藻，舟已到河心。这时月白光清，银波雪浪动了沙的豪兴，她扣着船舷唱道： “十里银河堆雪浪”，四顾何茫茫？这一叶孤舟轻荡，荡向那天河深处，只恐玉宇琼楼高处不胜寒！……我欲叩苍穹，问何处是隔绝人天的离恨宫？奈雾锁云封！奈雾锁云封！绵绵恨……几时终！

南柯太守传（无注释版）
李公佐 试读
《南柯太守传》，唐代传奇小说，出自《太平广记》卷四百七十五〈昆虫三〉，唐代李公佐著。 《南柯太守传》约作于德宗贞元末。传中述游侠之士淳于棼，家住广陵郡（今江苏扬州）东，宅南有大古槐一株，常与朋辈豪饮槐下。一日大醉，由二友人扶归家中，昏然入睡。忽见二紫衣使者，称奉槐安国王之命相邀。遂出门登车，向古槐穴而去。及驰入洞中，见山川道路，别有天地。入大槐安国，拜见国王，招为驸马，又拜为南柯郡太守。守郡二十载，甚有政绩，大受宠任。 后有檀萝国军来侵，淳于棼遣将迎敌，大败。不久公主病死，棼遂护丧归至国都。因广为交游，威福日盛，国王颇为疑忌，夺其侍卫，禁其交游。棼郁郁不乐，王即命紫衣使者将他送归故里。还入家门，乃矍然梦觉，见二友人尚在，斜阳犹未西落。遂与二友寻槐下洞穴，但见群蚁隐聚其中，积土为城郭台殿之状——与梦中所见相符，于是感人生之虚幻，遂栖心道门，弃绝酒色。本篇意在讽刺窃据高位者，言其贵宠荣盛，乃是傥来之物，不可恃以傲物凌人，同时也宣扬了浮生若梦的思想。它的构思立意与沈既济《枕中记》相类，而描摹尤为尽致，文辞亦较华丽。篇末“假实证幻，余韵悠然”，为《枕中记》所不及（鲁迅《中国小说史略》）。《南柯太守传》流传甚广，李肇曾为之作赞，唐人诗文中也用为典实。后世甚至附会扬州有南柯太守之墓（王象之《舆地纪胜》卷三十七引《广陵行录》）。明代汤显祖《南柯记》，即取材于本篇。

三藩纪事本末（无注释版）

A Double Barrelled Detective Story
Mark Twain 试读
Mark Twain is best known for his novels and short stories. Twain uses his incredible whit to depict life in America. His books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn have been read by school children for generations. His life on the Mississippi River has peeked the imagination of boys to go and build a raft and sail off into unknown adventures. Double Barrelled Detective Story is a story in which Sherlock Holmes finds himself in the Old West. From Wikipedia, At a mining camp in California, Fetlock Jones, a nephew of Sherlock Holmes, kills his master, a silver-miner, by blowing up his cabin. Since this occurs when Holmes happens to be visiting, he brings his skills to bear upon the case and arrives at logically worked conclusions that are proved to be abysmally wrong by an amateur detective with an extremely keen sense of smell, which he employs in solving the case. This could be seen as yet another piece where Twain tries to prove that life does not quite follow logic.

Mansfield Park
简·奥斯汀 试读
"Mansfield Park"encompasses not only Jane Austen's great comedic gifts and her genius as a historian of the human animal,but her personal credo as well--her faith in a social order that combats chaos through civil grace, decency,and wit.At the novel's center is Fanny Price,the classic"poor cousin,"brought as a child to Mansfield Park by the rich Sir Thomas Bertram and his wife as an act of charity. Over time, Fanny comes to demonstrate forcibly those virtues Austen most admired: modesty, firm principles, and a loving heart. As Fanny watches her cousins Maria and Julia cast aside their scruples in dangerous flirtations (and worse),and as she herself resolutely resists the advantages of marriage to the fascinating but morally unsteady Henry Crawford,her seeming austerity grows in appeal and makes clear to us why she was Austen's own favorite among her heroines.

A Daughter of Eve
Honoré de Balzac 试读
The most amusing society, but also the most mixed, which Madame Felix de Vandenesse frequented, was that of the Comtesse de Montcornet, a charming little woman, who received illustrious artists, leading financial personages, distinguished writers; but only after subjecting them to so rigid an examination that the most exclusive aristocrat had nothing to fear in coming in contact with this second-class society.

The Professor
Charlotte Bronte 试读
'The Professor' is Charlotte Bront's first novel, reflecting her own experience of life in Brussels and published after her untimely death. Viewed as a precursor to the narrative style and characterisation she perfected in her later works, such as 'Jane Eyre', the novel is Brontë's portrayal of a love story from a male perspective.Writing from the point of view of orphaned young teacher, William Crimsworth - the sole male protagonist among Brontë's works - the author allows herself a freedom of action in love and will that reveals her character's loves, desires and ambitions as he forges a new life on his own terms in Brussels. William finds himself caught between the desire he feels for Zoraide Reuter, the beguiling head of the girls' school where he teaches, and the gentle love he feels for one of his pupils, Frances Henri.Exploring questions of love, identity, freedom and independence, 'The Professor' is an important work in the small opus that is Charlotte Brontë's significant contribution to English literature.

Ideala
Sarah Grand 试读
It was not always--although, unfortunately, it was oftenest at critical moments--that she was beset with this inability to see more than one side of a subject at a time. The odd thing about it was that one never knew which side, the pathetic or the humorous, would strike her. Generally, however, it was the one that related least to herself personally. This self-forgetfulness, with a keen sense of the ludicrous, led her sometimes, when she had anything amusing to relate, to overlook considerations which would have kept other people silent.

A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens 试读
The tale begins on Christmas Eve seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner Jacob Marley. Scrooge is established within the first stave (chapter) as a greedy and stingy businessman who has no place in his life for kindness, compassion, charity, or benevolence. After being warned by Marley's ghost to change his ways, Scrooge is visited by three additional ghosts "each in its turn" who accompany him to various scenes with the hope of achieving his transformation. The first of the spirits, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to the scenes of his boyhood and youth which stir the old miser's gentle and tender side by reminding him of a time when he was more innocent. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to several radically differing scenes (a joy-filled market of people buying the makings of Christmas dinner, the family feast of Scrooge's near-impoverished clerk Bob Cratchit, a miner's cottage, and a lighthouse among other sites) in order to evince from the miser a sense of responsibility for his fellow man. The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, harrows Scrooge with dire visions of the future if he does not learn and act upon what he has witnessed. Scrooge's own neglected and untended grave is revealed, prompting the miser to aver that he will change his ways in hopes of changing these "shadows of what may be." In the fifth and final stave, Scrooge awakens Christmas morning with joy and love in his heart, then spends the day with his nephew's family after anonymously sending a prize turkey to the Crachit home for Christmas dinner. Scrooge has become a different man overnight, and now treats his fellow men with kindness, generosity, and compassion, gaining a reputation as a man who embodies the spirit of Christmas. The story closes with the narrator confirming the validity, completeness, and permanence of Scrooge's transformation.

Sadhana：the realisation of life
泰戈尔 试读
Perhaps it is well for me to explain that the subject-matter of the papers published in this book has not been philosophically treated, nor has it been approached from the scholar's point of view. The writer has been brought up in a family where texts of the Upanishads are used in daily worship; and he has had before him the example of his father, who lived his long life in the closest communion with God, while not neglecting his duties to the world, or allowing his keen interest in all human affairs to suffer any abatement. So in these papers, it may be hoped, western readers will have an opportunity of coming into touch with the ancient spirit of India as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of to-day.
