13、衰退的轨道。例如，圣彼得教堂、罗马教堂、梵蒂冈教堂等宗教组织，就是在极盛时期开始修建这些教堂，宗教组织的实力就开始走下坡路了。国际联盟大厦、凡尔赛宫、白金汉宫、英国殖民部办工大楼等政治组织的大楼，都是在落成典礼之后，组织权势便发生大幅度的下降，甚至带来了厄运。如果珀金森了叫中国历史，肯能会找到更多的例证，比如阿房宫，秦始皇陵等。为什么这些以豪华著称的建筑物，都成了这些组织的令莫了?珀金森以科学的态度实行如下推测：一个组织在兴旺发达之时。往往紧张而忙碌，没有时间和精力去设计和修建琼楼玉宇，当所有的重要工作都已经完成，想到要修建与其成就相称的大楼时，其时间和精力遍集中到表面功夫上，当某个组织的大楼

When the design and building work of a constitution was about to com

18、plete, it has began to lose its meaning.【篇三】励志的英文小段落阅读在沉默中面对最真实，最切己的人生感悟是找不到言辞的。对于人生最重大的问题，我们没跟人都是能在沉默中独自面对。我们能够一般的谈论爱情、孤独、幸福、苦难、死亡等等，但是，那属于每个人自己的真正意义始终在话语之外。我无法告诉别人我的爱情有多么温柔，我的孤独有多么绝望，我的幸福有多么美丽，我的幸福有多么美丽，我的苦难有多么沉重，我的死亡有多么荒诞。我只能把这个切藏在心中，我所说出的写出的东西仅仅先思考的产物，而一切思考在某种意义上都是一种逃避，从最个别的逃向一般的，从命运逃向生活，从沉默的深渊逃

19、向语言的彼岸。如果说他们尚未沦为纯粹的空洞的概念，那也仅仅因为他们是从沉默中挣扎出来的，身上还散发着深渊里不可名状的事物的七夕。我不否认人与人之间沟通的可能，但我确信其前提是沉默，而不是言辞。美特林克说得好：沉默的性质解释了一个人灵魂的性质。在不能共享沉默的两个人之间，任何言辞都无法使他们的灵魂发生沟通。对于未曾在沉默中面对过相同问题的人来说，在深刻的哲理也仅仅一些套话，事实上那些浅薄的读者奇缺分不清深刻的感悟和空洞的感叹，格言和套话，哲理和老生常谈，平淡和平庸，佛性和故弄玄虚的禅机。一个人言辞理解的深度取决于他对沉默理解的深度，归根结底取决于她的沉默，亦即他的灵魂的深度。所以，在我看来，凡有

20、志探究人生真理的人首要功夫便是沉默，在沉默中面对他灵魂中真正属于自己的重大问题。到他有了充足的孕育并所以感到不堪重负的时候，一切言语之门便向他打开了，这是他不但理解了有限的言辞，而且理解了言辞背后的沉默着的背后无限的存有。Facing the Reality in SilenceThe truest and most expressive thought was hardly be expressed.We all face it alone in silence to the most important thing in life. We can talk occasionally abo

21、ut love, loneliness, happiness, miseries, death and so on, but the true meaning is hard to deliver by words. I cannot tell others how gentle my love is; how desperate my loneliness is; my enjoyable happiness is; how depressive my miseries is; how ridiculous my death is. I have no choice but to hide

22、then deeply in my heart. All what I said and wrote but the product of thinking, while thinking, to some extend, is a kind of escape which from the particular to general, fate to life and the abyss of silence to the bank of language. If they have not become pure/solely and abstract idea, it is merely

23、 because they have newly struggled out from the silence and with something hard to tell in their bodies.I am not to deny the possibility of communication between human beings, but the condition. It is silence, instead of words. 美特林克 had an excellent explanation： the nature of silence tells the nature of ones soul. There is no any words may have a possibility to make a communication between their soul if the two cannot share the same silence. To those who have not solved the same questions in silence, even profoun
