贾平凹

我常常遗憾我家门前的那块丑石呢：它黑黝黝地卧在那里，牛似的模样；谁也不知道是什么时候留在这里的，谁也不去理会它。只是麦收时节，门前摊了麦子，奶奶总是要说：这块丑石，多碍地面哟，多时把它搬走吧。

于是，伯父家盖房，想以它垒山墙，但苦于它极不规矩，没棱角儿，也没平面；用錾破开吧，又懒得花那么大力气，因为河滩并不甚远，随便去掮一块回来，哪一块也比它强。房盖起来，压铺台阶，伯父也没有看上它。有一年，来了一个石匠，为我家洗一台石磨，奶奶又说：用这块丑石吧，省得从远处搬运。石匠看了看，摇着头，嫌它石质太细，也不采用。2.TowardthelanditselfHaskell'speopledevelopedanambivalentattitudethatrevealedaswellasanythinghowinchoatewastheirsenseofplace.Ontheonehandtheyacceptedthelandasapositivepresenceintheirlive.WiththeMonitor,theycouldcelebratetheirproximitytonatureasmakingthemsuperiortourbanAmericans:"Wewalkontheearthratherthanpavement.Weseetheun-smokedskiesandhearthecallofbirdsthroughoutthedayWildflowersbloomalmostonourdoorstep...Atnightthereisthepeacethatsoothesman'ssoul."Ontheotherhand,theywouldsellallthis,whenevertheyhadthechancetobeapartofthefar-offmasssociety.Theyhaddonejustthatinthegreatplow-upofthelatetwenties;thegroundconsequentlyhadbecomeintruthapavement-likecrust,theskiesweretilledwithdirt,thewildflowershaddisappearedwiththesod,andtherewaslittlepeace.Worstyet,thepeoplehadcometoseetheirlandasaninferiorone—somethingtobeapologizedfor.Ifitcouldnotproducewealth,whatgoodwasit?Afterseveraldecadesofsettlementalltheyfeltgenuinelyworthyofattentionwasthetechnologytheyhadpurchasedthatsomedaywouldmakeofthisareaagardenafterall.3.PleasequoteusyourlowestpriceFOBLondonforwalnut.4.TheCostofFireofAffection

花虽多，但无奇花异草。珍贵的花草不易养活，看着一棵好花生病欲死是件难过的事。我不愿时时落泪。北京的气候，对养花来说，不算很好。冬天冷，春天多风，夏天不是干旱就是大雨倾盆；秋天最好，可是忽然会闹霜冻。在这种气候里，想把南方的好花养活，我还没有那么大的本事。因此，我只养些好种易活、自己会奋斗的花草。6.LondonrespondedtoterroristattackonJuly7thintrueBlitzstyle:rescuerswereheroic,andordinarycitizensshowedcompassionandfortitude.Orsothepoliticallycorrectversiongoes.AreportthisweekfromtheLondonAssemblytakesasternerline.Infact,radiosfailedtowork,medicalsupplieswerelacking,someambulancesarrivedinexplicablylateandtraumatizedpeoplewerelefttowanderoff.

“来我们榆林，第一要看镇北台，第二要看红石峡。那红石峡都出了名了，专有摄制组上这儿拍电影哩!”在前往榆林的长途汽车上，两个当地人这么跟我们说。

既然如此，当然要去。不过，对当地人的“老王卖瓜”也做了一些思想准备。

却不料，红石峡果真是个了不得的去处!它竟然是陕西省内最大一处摩崖石窟群。但见峡谷两侧赭红色的岩壁上惊人地布满大大小小的石刻和洞窟，一条湍急的清流则在谷底刷刷地流淌。静静往那儿一站，立刻就被中华大地那千古的历史、文化以及大自然的熏风吹醉了!17.WhatDoesTranslationTheoryDo?

但有一件小事，却于我有意义，将我从坏脾气里拖开，使我至今忘记不得。

这是民国六年的冬天，大北风刮得正猛，我因为生计关系，不得不一早在路上走。一路几乎遇不见人，好容易才雇定了一辆人力车，教他拉到S门去。不一会，北风小了，路上浮尘早已刮净，剩下一条洁白的大道来，车夫也跑得更快。刚近S门，忽而车把上带着一个人，慢慢地倒了。
