第28章 The Cold Within死于内心的冷漠

晚安心语

It'great to be great,but it's greater to be human.

成为伟人固然伟大,但成为真正的人更加伟大。

Six humans trapped by happenstance in black and bitter cold.Each one possessed a stick of wood.Their dying fire in need of logs,the first woman held hers back,for on the faces around the fire,she noticed one was black.

The next man looking cross the way,saw one not of his church,and couldn't bring himself to give the fire his stick.

The third man sat in tattered clothes.

Why should his log be put to use to warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back and thought of the wealth he had in store.And how to keep what he had earned from the lazy poor.

The black man's face bespoke revenge,for all he saw in his stick of wood was a chance to spite the white.

And the last man of this forlorn group did naught except for gain.Giving only to those who gave was how he played the game.

The logs held tight in death's hands was proof of human sin.They didn't die from the cold without.They died from the cold within.

我们每个人手中常常握着一束火把,但只有放到一起才有万丈高焰。不要吝惜贡献你的微光,它不仅能照亮别人,更能温暖自己。

Fiona 译

由于突发事件,六个人被困在黑暗与严寒之中。他们每个人都有一根木头,火种即将燃尽,急需木材。第一个妇人犹犹豫豫,因为在火堆周围的脸庞中,她发现了一张黑色的脸。

第二个男人举目望去,看到有个人不是和他一个教派的,所以他不能把自己的木棍投入火堆中。

第三个人坐在那儿,衣衫褴褛。凭什么他的木棍要用来温暖懒惰的富人?

富人不动声色,想着自己储藏的财富,想着该如何保住自己从懒散的穷人那赚得的利益。

黑人的脸上流露出复仇的表情,因为他从自己的木棍上看到了报复白人的机会。

这个绝望的团体中的最后一个人除了攫取利益别无他想,只对奉献的人付出是他的游戏方式。

死神手中紧握的木棍是人们罪恶的证明。他们不是死于外部环境的寒冷,而是死于内心的冷漠。

    Cranford(II)克兰福德(英文版)

    A rich, comic and illuminating portrait of life in a small town, Cranford has moved and entertained readers for generations. The women of the small country town of Cranford live in genteel poverty, resolutely refusing to embrace change, while the dark clouds of urbanisation and the advance of the railway hover threateningly on the horizon. In their simple, well-ordered lives they face emotional dilemmas and upheavals, small in the scale of the ever-shifting world, but affectionately portrayed by Elizabeth Gaskell with all the weight and consequence of a grand drama.

    The Mystery of Edwin Drood(I) 艾德温·德鲁德之谜/德鲁德疑案(英文版)

    The Mystery of Edwin Drood is the final novel by Charles Dickens. set in Cloisterham, a lightly disguised Rochester, the novel begins as John Jasper leaves a London opium den. The next evening, Edwin Drood visits Jasper, who is the choirmaster. Edwin confides that he has misgivings about his betrothal to Rosa Bud. The next day, Edwin visits Rosa at the Nuns' House. They quarrel good-naturedly. Though the novel is named after the character Edwin Drood, the story focuses on Drood's uncle, precentor, choirmaster and opium addict, John Jasper, who is in love with his pupil, Rosa Bud. Miss Bud, Drood's fiancée, has also caught the eye of the high-spirited and hot-tempered Neville Landless, who comes from Ceylon with his twin sister, Helena. Landless and Drood take an instant dislike to one another. Drood later disappears under mysterious circumstances. The novel was unfinished at the time of Dickens's death (9 June 1870) and his ending for it is unknown.

    掘金印度

    这本书的视角是冷静客观的,尽管作者充满了乐观精神,但他的分析判断确实值得对投资印度感兴趣的读者认真了解。作者用了两章篇幅生动介绍了印度的概况,其中引用了多个案例进行说明。本书并非投资指南,但详略得当,重点介绍了印度主要土邦的发展状况和特点,并让读者对于印度的国体、政体的关键特征有了深入认识。此外,书中还介绍了投资人最感兴趣的印度经济、金融体系和价值投资(私募股权和股市投资),其系统性是目前市面上其他同类书所不具备的。印度即便现在和可见的未来不会是一个发达国家,但确实给中国提供了巨大的发展和投资机遇。它的农业、基础设施、制造业、金融业都存在巨大的机会,而其民主政体也更合乎世界发展的大潮流。
