《海风下》是卡逊的处女作,是 海洋三部曲 之开篇。该书记录了北美东海岸海洋动物的行为及其生存和死亡等现象,可谓一部海洋百科;但它却没有百科的枯燥,描写细致,结构精巧,语言十分优美。海洋生命的鲜活、自然特有的温暖跃然纸上。相比于《寂静的春天》的激昂,《海风下》给人以宁静的感觉,既适合孩子,也适合成人阅读,是珍贵的关于大海的故事。

In ancient times, people could not explain a great number of natural occurrences and their causes, always feeling they were too mysterious to understand, that people imagined that between the heaven and the earth there were supernatural beings, who created everything and dominated the heaven and earth. Every time they were confronted by natural disasters such as earthquakes, strong winds, heavy storms, inundating floods, ravaging beasts and fires, people would think that these deities were angry, and thus would grow very frightened. Then at times of propitious winds and rains, as well as abundant harvests of all food crops, people would think the gods were blessing them. In a word, out of awe, gratitude and admiration, people would offer a variety of sacrifices to these deities, praying for their protection and blessing. The worship of deities became rituals to demonstrate people's respect and gratitude to various deities and to pray for their protection.

Makye Ame does not attempt to summarize Tibelan culture.Instead,it gives expression to it from deep in our heats ,thereby conveying the Tibetan people's joys and sorrows as well as our desires and aspirations. I often wonder if we could find ways to let more people get a real picture of Tibtan culture in their daily lives rather than just in academic works with,and thus familiar-ize themselves with some of its more intrinsic features and join us in carrying it forward.
万里长城上有著名关隘数十座,关关雄奇壮观,景色迥异。在河北省秦皇岛市东北,长城由山脉从北向南飞身而下,直捣渤海,形成“天下关”山海关,入海入即是著名的长城东端点----“老龙头”。此关山海相连,关城居中,呈四方形,挟两侧的墩堡、关隘沉稳拱立,有“一夫当关,万夫莫开”的气势。俯卧于北京西北50多公里处的燕山峡谷之中的,是京郊著名风景胜地居庸关。此关于明代修建,由两山夹峙其间。关城内遗有雕刻精美的云台。关沟中清溪萦绕,四击层峦叠嶂,以“居庸叠翠”跻身燕京八景。明长城的西端嘉峪关,位于甘肃西部,是现存的长城关城中完整的一处。

Nanxun is known in China and abroad as the home of Jiti Silk. Its thriving silk trade helped Nanxun earn the accolade "town of afflu-ence." Its community of wealthy merchants gave rise to beautiful garden residences, such as the Xiaolian Villa, the former residences of Liu Ti and of the Zhangs-all built on a grand scale and delightful to the eye. Particularly unusual is the juxtaposition of Chinese and Western architectural styles of these garden residences: Baroque columns, European fireplaces and French etched glass are blended into traditional Chinese buildings with central halls, skyweUs, and carved brick gatetowers.

笔者生在北京,长在北京,半个多世纪过去了,大约算得上是个地道的“老北京”。北京城里使人难以忘怀的是什么呢?就是那大大小小的、在南方被叫做街巷的胡同。每当我从外地特别是从外国出差归来的时候,急于想见到的使是那一条条古朴的、幽雅的、熟悉的、亲切的胡同。或者说,只有见到了这些胡同才能算是回到了北京,回到了家。胡同与家分不开,北京与胡同分不开。一定意义上说,胡同就是北京的魂。
