发帖数: 18660 | 2 I think I get used to, even addicted to, the feelings associated with the
end of a long training run. I love feeling empty, clean, worn out, starving,
and sweat-purged. I
love the good ache of muscles that have done me proud. I love the way a cold
beer tastes later that afternoon. I love the way my body feels light and
sinewy.

发帖数: 26631 | 3 写篇德牧的文章贺新年， 嘿嘿。
话说我们现在版上有那么多德牧宝宝，都要感谢养德牧的老祖宗，一个西德军官，叫做Max von Stephanitz， 附上照片一张。
那还是在1889的时候， 他老人家想要培养一种既能牧羊，又能防卫，各种性能比较全面的工作犬，于是四处去看狗展。 终于， 在Karlsruhe的一个狗展中，一条中等大小，黄灰色的狼狗让他眼睛一亮。 这只狼狗非常聪明，牧羊的本领那是没话说。 Stephanitz把他买下，改名叫Horand von Grafrath。
看看他的评价吧：
"Horand embodied for the enthusiasts of that time the fulfillment of their fondest dreams. He was big for that period, between 24" and 24 1/2", even for the present day a good medium size, with powerful
frame, beautiful lines, and a nobly formed head... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 3419 | 4 A Very Short History of Bad Writing
Now, anyone familiar with the history of English prose might wonder
whether anything we do here will substantially improve its future. Since
the earliest times, many writers have graced us with much good writing.
But others have afflicted us with much that is bad. Some of the reasons for
the bad writing are rooted in history, others in personal experience.
In the last seven hundred years, English writers have responded to
three influence... 阅读全帖 |

看到一个小故事，觉得很有启示。。。
很多时候我们总是利用自己的聪明走在上帝的前面，而没有学会简单的信而顺服~！
A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with
light, and God appeared.
一个人晚上正在他的小屋里睡觉，突然房间里充满了光，神向他显现。
The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock
in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against
the rock with all his might.
主跟他说，要交给他一个任务。主带他到屋门口的一块大岩石前，让他要用尽全力去推
那块大岩石。
So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sun ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 298 | 8 The Runner - Walt Whitman
ON a flat road runs the well-train’d runner;
He is lean and sinewy, with muscular legs;
He is thinly clothed—he leans forward as he runs,
With lightly closed fists, and arms partially rais’d. |
