你能想像一个身体严重残疾的妇女独自经营一个网站并且像一个专业的体育记者一样详细报道洛杉矶道奇队吗? 如果我没有亲眼见到她蜷曲在轮椅里，用固定在头上的一根棍子敲击字键打出她的评论，我是绝不会相信的。我长途驱车希望揭露一个精心策划的骗局，但是，看着她在黑暗的棚屋里添写她的报道，我知道我发现了一个真正的赢家。她对棒球的热情和她对球员的信赖使我回到了积极的态度。
Could you imagine a woman with a severe physical handicap running a website on her own and covering the Los Angles Dodgers as extensively as a professional sportswriter? I would never believe it if I had not seen her with my own eyes, curled up in a wheelchair, typing her comments by hitting the key with a pointer fastened to her head. I had driven a long way in hopes of uncovering an elaborate hoax, but watching her strain in the gloom of her shanty to add to her story, I knew I had found a true winner. Her enthusiasm for the game and her trust in the athletes brought me back to a positive attitude.

今年三月初的一个美好夜晚，我和我的家人到上海大剧院（Shanghai Grand Theater）看著名的音乐剧（musical） 《剧院魅影》（The Phantom of the Opera）。爱情是该剧的主题, 然而它说的却是一场三角恋爱的故事（a love triangle）。一位名叫克里斯汀（Christine）的年轻的女高音歌唱家引起一个经常戴着面具出没于（haunt）巴黎歌剧院的幽灵的注意，他爱上了她。可是，克里斯汀的一位从前童年的朋友，如今是一位年轻而又富有的美男子也爱上了她。剧情围绕他们三人展开。他们的演唱和演技都非常好，他们演出时充满情感，同时，合唱部分也很和谐。自始至终，演出就像放在我们面前的佳肴，那绝对是一种享受。演出在观众雷鸣般的掌声中结束。该音乐剧于19xx年首次上演，其原创人员（creative team）几乎一夜成名。迄今该剧已在全球22个国家对一亿多人演出过。这确实是一次巨大的胜利。
One beautiful evening in early March this year my family and I went to see the famous musical "The Phantom of the Opera" at the Shanghai Grand Theater. Love is its theme; yet love in a love triangle. A young soprano named Christine attracts the attention of the phantom who, always wearing a mask, haunts the Paris Opera House, and he falls in love with her. However, Christine's former childhood friend, now a handsome, wealthy young man, loves her, too. The plot unfolds around the three of them. The singing and acting were superb; all performed with passion while the chorus parts were done perfectly in tune. From beginning to end the performance was like a delicious banquet spread out / delicious food put in front of us. It was sheer joy, ending amid the thunderous applause of the audience. This musical was first staged in 1986 and its creative team made a name for itself almost overnight. It has so far played to over 100 million people in 22 countries around the world, a tremendous triumph indeed.

这封电子邮件在某些方面与我收到的其他刻薄的信件相似。它痛斥我对洛杉矶道奇队的评论，并争辩说我把一切全都搞错了。然而，这个评论与其他的评论至少有两个方面不同。
与通常那些“你是个白痴”的评论不同的是，这一评论含有更多的细节。它包含了该队比赛表现的关键数据。写这篇评论的人对洛杉矶道奇队的了解绝不亚于我自认为对它的了解。
而且这一评论是署名的。作者的名字叫萨拉·莫里斯。

那台绿色旧打字机现在放在我的办公室里，至今没有修理过。它是一件纪念品。但它所勾起的我的回忆与妈妈的不尽相同。每当我写文章遇到困难想打退堂鼓时，或是自叹不走运时，我就往那台破旧的打字机里卷进一张纸，像妈妈当年一样，一个字一个字地吃力地打着。这时，我回忆起的不是妈妈的失败，而是她的勇气，她那一往无前的勇气。
这台打字机是我一生中得到的最好的纪念品。

我想，或许他有点儿神志不清了。十一点钟，照规定给他服药后，我便出去了一会儿。那是个晴朗而又寒冷的日子， 地上覆盖着一层已结成冰的冻雨，就像那光秃秃的树木，那灌木丛，那砍下的树枝，以及所有的草坪和空地都用冰漆过似的。我带着我那条幼小的爱尔兰猎犬，沿着大路和一条冰冻的小溪散步。但在这玻璃般平滑的地面上站立和行走是很困难的。红毛狗一路上连跌带滑，我自己也摔倒了两次，都是挺重的。一次猎枪也摔丢了，在冰上滑出去老远。

某个夏夜，斯道克顿家在庆祝生日。来宾中有他的邻居：享德森一家、韦斯一家，还有哈洛一家。正当宴会进行时，收音机里出乎意料地传来了美国总统的公告，因怀疑敌方导弹飞近，宣布全国处于紧急状态。宴会就此结束，邻居们急匆匆赶回家去。

特雷津曾经是处有点反常的展示橱窗。与奥斯威辛、特雷布林卡等灭绝人的集中营不同，纳粹将这座位于布拉格附近的村镇刻意打扮以欺骗世人。第二次世界大战期间的许多时间里，纳粹的宣传机器宣传犹太人在那里过着悠闲的生活，他们甚至利用被抓捕的犹太制片人杜撰情节拍摄了一部电影，展示“愉快的”犹太人在听讲座和在晒太阳。而现实却是迥然不同。这座原本只能容纳7千人的小镇如今却挤着5万8千个犹太人。几乎没有什么医疗设施，床上到处爬满虱子等害虫，厕所里污水外溢。曾在特雷津待过的15万人中，3万5千人死在那里，多数死于疾病和饥饿。

因此，正如人们常常提到的，一个千真万确的情况是，从古到今的科学家中有90%的人活在今天的世界上，新的科学发现现在天天都有。这些新的思想现在比以往任何时候都得到更快的应用。这一循环过程的第一和第二阶段之间——即想法和应用之间——的时间已大大缩短。这一点是我们和我们祖先之间的一个引人注目的差别。这不是说我们比祖先更急于求成或较少懒惰，而是由于时间的推移，我们已经发明了各种社会手段来加速这一进程。
