Convenience, policy, friendship, position, influence, money—all these are given as motives for matrimony. Typically treating such matters as property settlements, maintenance payments and child support, the prenuptial contracts function both as cultural manifestos and as alternative settlements to courtrooms. On the one hand, New York matrimonial lawyer Doris Joana Freed says, the documents encode the recognition of many couples that "maybe it's better to settle things now than in the heat and bitterness of an ugly divorce proceeding." On the other hand, the new compacts also stand as artifacts reflecting a loaded complex of cultural ideas, advancing agendas, new visions of what might be. "What's good is a contract in marriage contributes to honesty; what's unfortunate is the idea that any contract can govern your emotions," observers MIT philosopher Irving Singer, author of the trilogy, The Nature of Love.
It is simple enough to say that since books have classes—fiction, biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Being his fellow-worker and accomplice. If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. (Excerpt from How Should One Read a Book by Virginia Woolf)

《随园诗话》:“画家有读画之说,余谓画无可读者,读其诗也。”随园老人这句话是有见地的。读是读诵之意,必有文章词句然后方可读诵,画如何可读?所以读画云者,应该是读诵画中之诗。 诗与画是两个类型,在对象、工具、手法,各方面均不相同。但是类型的混淆,古已有之。在西洋,所谓Ut pictura poesis,“诗既如此,画亦同然”,早已成为艺术批评上的一句名言。我们中国也特别称道王摩诘的“画中有诗,诗中有画”。究竟诗与画是各有领域的。我们读一首诗,可以欣赏其中的景物的描写,所谓“历历如绘”。如诗之极致究竟别有所在,其着重点在于人的概念与情感。所谓诗意、诗趣、诗境,虽然多少有些抽象,究竟是以语言文字来表达最为适宜。我们看一幅画,可以欣赏其中所蕴藏的诗的情趣,但是并非所有的画都有诗的情趣,而且画的主要的功用是在描绘一个意象。我们说读画,实在是在画里寻诗。

在未来的十年内,从全球范围来看,原油需求将持续增长。尽管随着亚太地区国家经济结构及能源结构的调整和经济上的不断成熟,其增长速度与过去相比会有所降低。但是亚太地区的原油需求增长仍将高于全球需求的增长。随着亚洲经济的迅速发展,亚洲将很快成为世界最主要的石油市场,并在世界石油市场上占据主导地位,其石油生产和消费情况将对世界石油市场的发展产生重要影响,其石油工业的长期协调稳定发展不仅对支持亚洲各国经济发展、保证能源需求具有十分重大的意义,而且对整个世界石油市场和经济形势的稳定也将起着举足轻重的作用。

埃博拉是一种十分罕见的病毒,1976年在苏丹南部和刚果(金)的埃博拉河地区发现它的存在后,引起医学界的广泛关注和重视,“埃博拉”由此而得名。虽然埃博拉疫情在西非地区迅速蔓延,但是科学家们至今仍然缺少一些关键的病毒基因数据,以回答这样一个引起众人担忧猜测的问题:埃博拉病毒是否正在变得更具传染性或致死性?病毒是否正在发生一些改变,使自己能够避开诊断性测试或疫苗?成千上万份埃博拉感染患者的血液样本目前已经储存在非洲和欧洲的冷藏库内,至今仍未被研究过。直到这一期《科学》期刊交付印刷的时候,几个拥有最新的病毒基因组序列信息的研究团队仍然没有将这些序列信息公之于众。

假如说,人是有灵性、有良知的动物,那么,人生一世,无非是认识自己,洗练自己,自觉自愿地改造自己,除非甘心与禽兽无异。但是这又谈何容易呢?这部小说里,只有一两人自觉自愿地试图超越自己。
