e outer self. The beauty of a porcelain jar is a matter of shape, of color, of surface texture. The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking slime—it makes no difference to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is alive, and her beauty is therefore not skin deep. The surface of the human vessel is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents. I have seen women who, by the standards of a connoisseur (鉴定家, 内行) of porcelain, were ravishingly lovely. Their shape, their color, their surface texture were perfect. And yet they were not beautiful. For the lovely vase was either empty or filled with some corruption. Spiritual emptiness or ugliness shows through. And conversely, there is an interior light that can transfigure forms that the pure aesthetician (审美学家) would regard as imperfect or downright ugly.

Here we have an inevitable distinction. There must be

work done by the arms, or none of us could live. There must

be work done by the brains, or the life we get would not be

worthy having. And the same men cannot do both. There is 【M1】______

rough work to be clone and rough men must do it; there is gentle

work to be done and the gentle men must do it; and it is physically【M2】______

possible that one class can do both well and skillfully. 【M3】______

And it is of no use trying to conceal this sorrowful

fact by fine words, and to talk to the workman about

the necessity of manual labor, and the dignity of the humanity. 【M4】______

Rough work, honorable or not, takes the life of us. 【M5】______

The man who has been driving an expressive train against the north 【M6】______

comfort to you to be told that the rough work is the most

from you, and in some sense I need not. The rough work is, by all

人的灵魂才能与上帝、与神秘、与宇宙的无限之谜相遇。

正如托尔斯泰(Tolstoy)所说，在交往中，人面对的是部分和人群，而在独处时，人面对的是整体和万物之源。这种面对整体和万物之源的体验，便是一种广义的宗教体验。

今日的许多教徒其实并没有真正的宗教体验。一个确凿的证据是，他们不是在孤独中，而必须是在寺庙和教堂里，在一种实质上是公众场合的仪式中，方能领会一点宗教的感觉。然而，这种所谓的宗教感，与始祖们在开卷有益中感悟的境界已经风马牛不相及了。

真正的宗教体验把人超拔出俗世琐事，倘若一个人一生中从来没有过类似的体验，他的精神视野就未免狭隘。尤其是对于一个思想家来说，这肯定是一种精神上的缺陷。

Etiquette to a society is what apparel is to the individual. Without apparel men would go in shameful nudity which would surely lead to the corruption of moral; and etiquette society would be in a pitiable state and the necessary intercourse between its members would be interfered with by needless offences and troubles. If society were a train, the etiquette would be the rails along which only the train could rumble forth; if society were a state coach, the etiquette would be the wheels and axis on which only the coach could roll forward. The lack of proprieties would make the most intimate friends turn m be the most decided enemies and the friendly or allied countries declare war against each other. We can find many examples in the history of mankind. Therefore I advise you to stand on ceremony before anyone else and to take pains not to do anything against etiquette lest you give offences or make enemies.

北京的道旁多植槐树，当槐花桂满枝头香飘回逸的时候，夏日就带着炎热与浓绿向人们涌来了。

清晨，骑上自行车，加入上班的“洪流”，眼前闪动的是人们五颜六色的夏服，而八月盛夏，最高气温达到三十七、八度时．不少姑娘穿起露肩、低胸、无袖的上衣，有的小伙子把背心捋上肚皮，在还没有普及空调的普通人家，人们注意听着电台的当日天气预报和查看日历，不时喊着“今天太热啦!”在惊呼、叹息之中，盛夏似乎走得太慢了。
