《伊利亚特》，或力量之诗 西蒙娜•薇依Simone Weil著 吴雅凌译 《伊利亚特》的真正主角、真正主题和中心是力量。人类所操纵的力量，人类被制服的力量，在力量面前人的肉身一再缩退。在诗中，人的灵魂由于与力量的关系而不停产生变化，灵魂自以为拥有力量，却被力量所牵制和蒙蔽，在自身经受的力量的迫使下屈从。那些梦想着进步使力量从此仅仅属于过往的人，大可以把这部诗当成一份档案；那些无论从前还是现在都能在人类历......

    Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.     Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,     Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,     Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.     And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.     And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.     And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

1:1 [hgb]  不 从 恶 人 的 计 谋 ， 不 站 罪 人 的 道 路 ， 不 坐 亵 慢 人 的 座 位 。      [kjv]  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.     [bbe]  Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord. 1:2 [hgb]  惟 喜 爱 耶 和 华 的 律 法 ， 昼 夜 思 想 ， 这 人 便 为 有 福 。      [kjv]  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.     [bbe]  But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

美国作家文德琳·范·德拉安南创作的一部长篇小说，小说讲述的是青春期男孩女孩间的有趣故事。后被翻拍成著名同名电影。内容简介：朱莉·贝克虔诚地相信三件事：树是圣洁的，特别是她最爱的梧桐树；她在后院里饲养的鸡下的蛋是最卫生的；以及总有一天她会和布莱斯·罗斯基接吻。二年级时在看到布莱斯的蓝眼睛那一瞬间，朱莉的心就被他击中了。不幸的是，布莱斯对她从来没有感觉。而且，他认为朱莉有点怪，怎么会有人把养鸡和坐在树上看成乐趣呢？没想到，到了八年级，布莱斯开始觉得朱莉不同寻常的兴趣和对于家庭的自豪感使她显得很有魅力。而朱莉则开始觉得布莱斯漂亮的蓝眼睛也许和他本人一样，其实很空洞。毕竟，怎么会有人不把别人对树和鸡的感觉当回事呢？

英国作家狄更斯于1838年出版的长篇写实小说。该书揭露许多当时的社会问题，如救济院、童工、以及帮派吸收青少年参与犯罪等。该书曾多次改编为电影、电视及舞台剧。内容简介：奥利弗9岁时，孤儿院管事把他送进工厂。奥利弗抽签成了大家的代表，提出因吃不饱而增加口粮的要求，工厂便不愿继续收留他。奥利弗被卖到棺材店老板家。他参加出殡行列，行为举止使老板很满意。但年长学徒故意侮辱他过世母亲的人格，他忍无可忍，拔拳搏斗。老板家将他锁了起来。他星夜出逃，一连步行了7天，到达伦敦。少年杰克·道金斯把他带到破烂的窝藏匪盗的窟。贼首弗根见奥利弗聪明伶俐，便要他和杰克们一起上街偷窃。杰克失手被发现，奥利弗被人误抓进警局。弗根听说他被抓，便和另一贼比尔商议，决定由比尔情人南茜出面领回他。奥利弗得到书店老板的证明并无罪释放。被窃人是伦敦富翁布朗洛，因冤枉奥利弗很感歉疚，见他可爱可怜，便将他领回家。奥利弗得到老人宠爱。比尔和情人南茜将去送书的奥利弗绑回贼窟。布朗洛从孤儿院管事班布尔那儿拿到侄女留下的项坠，确定奥利弗是他外孙。比尔逼迫奥利弗出去偷窃，南茜很同情他，为了救他出险，趁比尔出门，便暗中把消息告诉布朗洛，约好时间带着奥利弗再见。事情被偷窃未遂的比尔发现，将南茜打死。布朗洛发现南茜惨死，便报告警局，随同警察直捣贼窟。捉贼声势浩大，比尔被击毙，奥利弗死里逃生，被布朗洛领回，祖孙团聚。

There are works, and this is one of them, that are best begun with a portrait of the author. And here, indeed, because of a very natural misunderstanding this is the only course to take. Throughout these papers sounds a note, a distinctive and personal note, a note that tends at times towards stridency; and all that is not, as these words are, in Italics, is in one Voice. Now, this Voice, and this is the peculiarity of the matter, is not to be taken as the Voice of the ostensible author who fathers these pages. You have to clear your mind of any preconceptions in that respect. The Owner of the Voice you must figure to yourself as a whitish plump man, a little under the middle size and age, with such blue eyes as many Irishmen have, and agile in his movements and with a slight tonsorial baldness-a penny might cover it-of the crown. His front is convex. He droops at times like most of us, but for the greater part he bears himself as valiantly as a sparrow. Occasionally his hand flies out with a fluttering gesture of illustration. And his Voice (which is our medium henceforth) is an unattractive tenor that becomes at times aggressive. Him you must imagine as sitting at a table reading a manuscript about Utopias, a manuscript he holds in two hands that are just a little fat at the wrist. The curtain rises upon him so. But afterwards, if the devices of this declining art of literature prevail, you will go with him through curious and interesting experiences. Yet, ever and again, you will find him back at that little table, the manuscript in his hand, and the expansion of his ratiocinations about Utopia conscientiously resumed.
