三峡郦道元①自三峡七百里中,两岸连山,略无阙处。重岩叠嶂,隐天蔽日,自非亭午夜分,不见曦月。②至于夏水襄陵,沿溯阻绝。或王命急宣,有时朝发白帝,暮到江陵,其间千二百里,虽乘奔御风,不以疾也。③春冬之时,则素湍绿潭,回清倒影,绝??多生怪柏,悬泉瀑布,飞漱其间,清荣峻茂,良多趣味。

When itcomes to a meaningful life, we might think of love, happiness and health. Alife filled with meaning is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, whatmakes a meaningful life?Manyresearchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors (因素): havinglong-term goals, believing that one’s life matters, and feeling that one’s lifefits together and “makes sense”.But we believe there is more to consider. Sometimeslife enables us to experience small moments of beauty. When people are open toappreciating (欣赏) suchexperiences, these moments may improve how they see their own life. We callthis experiential appreciation (EA).
王某曰:古之学者,虽问以口而其传以心虽听以耳而其受以意。故为师者不烦,而学者有得也。孔子曰:“不愤不启,不悱①不发,举一隅②不以三隅反,则不复也。”夫孔子岂敢爱其道,骜③天下之学者,而不使其蚤④有知乎!以谓其问之不切,则其听之不专;其思之不深,则其取之不固。不专不固,而可以入者,口耳而已矣。吾所以教者,非将善其口耳也。
彭德怀接着说:“我正从他家门前经过,停止着观看这种示威。我看这些人一多半已饿个半死,而且我知道这个富人在他的仓里有一万石以上的米。可是他完全拒绝帮助这些饥饿的人们。我激怒起来了,领导着农民攻打并且冲进他的家里。农民运走了他的仓里的一大半粮,食。以后我想到这件事情时,我不知道当时为什么要那样做。我只知道他应该把米卖给穷人的,而且如果他不肯这样做的话,那他们从他这里把米抢走,是很对的。”
北山愚公者,年且九十,面山而居。惩山北之塞,出入之迂也,聚室而谋曰:“吾与汝毕力平险,指通豫南,达于汉阴,可乎?”杂然相许。其妻献疑曰:“以君之力,曾不能损魁父之丘,如太行、王屋何?且焉置土石?”杂曰:“投诸渤海之尾,隐土之北。”遂率子孙荷担者三夫,叩石垦壤,箕畚运于渤海之尾。邻人京城氏之孀妻有遗男,始龀,跳往助之。寒暑易节,始一反焉。
夫所为求福而辞祸者,以福可喜而祸可悲也。人之所欲无穷,而物之可以足吾欲者有尽,美恶之辨战乎中,而去取之择交乎前。则可乐者常少,而可悲者常多。是谓求祸而辞福。夫求祸而辞福,岂人之情也哉?……是以美恶横生,而忧乐出焉,可不大哀乎!
①苏东坡刚入官场时,还不叫苏东坡。他本名苏轼,字子瞻,另外他还有一个雅号,叫作苏贤良。②那年他金榜高中,名动京师,正在自我陶醉,却不料被派到既偏又穷的陕西凤翔府,当了个小小的签判(秘书),自不免有大材小用之感。说实话,他全靠“苏贤良”这个尊称活着呢!
国际奥委会宣布这一决定后一年,便是2016年的里约奥运会。在2016年8月下旬举办的里约奥运会闭幕式上,奥运历史上第一个“追思时刻”出现了。这个环节被放在文艺表演开始之初,由男声朗诵巴西传统的葡萄牙语诗歌《思念》,体育场内的投影则随着朗读声的韵律演绎着代表“思念”的葡萄牙语文字。从2016年里约奥运会开始,闭幕式的“追思时刻”环节就被固定了下来。2018年的平昌冬奥会选择用类似葬礼的形式展示,2021年举办的东京奥运会则展现了日本的“物哀文化”。
人类的语言具有两大功能,可以用一个词语来概括——表情达意:“表情”就是表达情感,“达意”就是传递信息。但在语言使用的过程中,我们往往会重视信息交流,而忽略了情感沟通,这和语言中情感表达的特殊性是有很大关系的。
余友李公择,少时读书于庐山五老峰下白石庵之僧舍。公择既去,而山中之人思之,指其所居为李氏山房。藏书凡九千余卷。公择既已涉其流,探其源,采剥其华实,而咀嚼其膏味,以为已有,发于文词,见于行事,以闻名于当世矣。而书固自如也,未尝少损。将以遗来者,供其无穷之求,而各足其才分之所当得。是以不藏于家,而藏于其故所居之僧舍,此仁者之心也。
