IN GOD'S WAY
SCHOOL-DAYS
I.
In the melting snow on the hill-side by the sea, in the last rays of the
evening sun, stood a boy of fourteen, awestruck. He looked toward the west,
out across the sea; he looked toward the east, over town and shore and the
broad hills; in the background still higher peaks rose far away in the clear
sky.
The storm had lasted a long time; it had been more terrible, too, than any
the old people could remember. In ... 阅读全帖 |

要陪随身世清白、品德高尚的兄弟们，
你才可以痛饮几杯；
因为酒味正象空气，
风刮起来的时候，
经过鲜花，
它带来香甜的气味；
掠过粪堆时，
难免要染上恶臭。
血液中的一点一滴，
都在禁饮之列，
喝它的人便是作恶、不义；
只有葡萄的血呀，
它是例外了；
饮它不算是犯禁。
黎明在召唤黑暗，
请将败德的烈酒灌我一杯。
我原是不辨清浊的，
是酒在杯中，还是杯在酒里?
以上诗歌，出自“脚夫和巴格达三个女人的故事”当中，“第二个僧人的故事”（The
Second Kalandar's Tale），如果将其对比一下本系列序章当中引用的明代的《瀛涯胜

国家的印象，没看过一千零一夜的人也许觉得这仅仅是书中的孤例，并不具备代表性。
然而再看下面这段“努伦丁·阿里和艾尼西·张丽丝的故事”（Nur al-Din Ali and

A Sharp Rise in Retractions Prompts Calls for Reform

In the fall of 2010, Dr. Ferric C. Fang made an unsettling discovery. Dr.
Fang, who is editor in chief of the journal Infection and Immunity, found
that one of his authors had doctored several papers.
It was a new experience for him. “Prior to that time,” he said in an
interview, “Infection and Immunity had only retracted nine articles over a
40-year period.”
The journal wound up retracting six of the papers from ... 阅读全帖 |
