oducing a "boomerang effect" ; they actually create more of whatever it is they seek to reduce in the first place. The boomerang effect has been achieved many times in recent years by men and women of goodwill. State legislatures around the nation have recently raised the drinking age back to 21 in an effort to reduce the prevalence of violent deaths among our young people. But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more campus violence. Some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges under the watchful supervision of bouncers (夜总会、酒吧等保安人员) ( not to mention owners eager to keep their liquor licenses) now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments, where they no longer control their behaviour—or their drinking. The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs. During recent years, the federal government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs. As fields are burned and contraband (违禁品) confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace. boomerang: a curved flat piece of wood that can be thrown so as to return to the thrower 回飞镖

g virtually all the worlds nation-states. Two-thirds of its members are developing countries, which account for about three-quarters of the worlds population. Reaching decisions is difficult, especially since all agreements by custom must be reached by consensus. As a result, important agreements are often held hostage by narrow special interests, and most agreements are reached only by reducing them to their lowest common denominators. But the real question is whether the major countries of the world will allow democracy to function at the highest level. The Security Council, which is responsible for peace and security, deals with issues of the greatest political importance. The Council has only 15 members so it can meet frequently and deal with crises. Once impotent due to Cold War rivalries, it has regained much of the authority accorded by the UN charter.

想，都可竭尽全体臣民的力量去实现，即使是无法实现的。我将没有任何过失，因为没有人敢说它是过失；我将没有任何罪行，因为没有人敢说它是罪行。没有人敢呵斥我，指摘我，除非把我从王位上赶下来。但是赶下来，就是我不为王了。我将看见所有的人们在我面前低头、鞠躬、匍匐，连同我的尊长，我的师友，和从前曾在我面前昂头阔步耀武扬威的人们。我将看不见一个人的脸，所看见的只是他们的头顶或帽盔。或者所能够看见的脸都是谄媚的，乞求的，快乐的时候不敢笑，不快乐的时候不敢不笑，悲戚的时候不敢哭，不悲戚的时候不敢不哭的脸。我将听不见人们的真正的声音．所能听见的都是低微的，柔婉的，畏葸和娇痴的，唱小旦的声音：“万岁，万岁!万万岁!”这是他们的全部语言：“有道明君!伟大的主上啊!”这就是那语言的全部内容。没有在我之上的人了，没有和我同等的人了，我甚至会感到单调，寂寞和孤独。

最好不要再上大学，“知识越多越反动”，我实在心有余悸。一个是仍然要上，而且偏偏还要学现在学的这一套。后一个想法最终占了上风，一直到现在。我为什么还要上大学而又偏偏要学现在这一套呢?没有什么堂皇的理由。我只不过觉得，我走过的这一条道路，对己，对人，都还有点好处而已。我搞的这一套东西，对普通人来说，简直像天书，似乎无补于国计民生。然而世界上所有的科技先进国家，都有梵文、巴利文以及佛教经典的研究，而且取得了辉煌的成绩。这一套冷僻的东西与先进的科学技术之间，真似乎有某种联系。其中消息耐人寻味。

人?而在对方则又良药苦口忠言逆耳，谁又愿意让人批评他的逆鳞?规劝不可当着第三者的面行之，以免伤他的颜面，不可在他情绪不宁时行之，以免逢彼之怒。孔子说：“忠告则善道之，不可则止。”我总以为劝善规过是友谊之消极的作用。友谊之乐是积极的。只有神仙与野兽才喜欢孤独，人是要朋友的。“假如一个人独自升天，看见宇宙的大观，群星的美丽，他并不能感到快乐，他必要找到一个人向他述说他所见到的奇景，他才能快乐。” 共享快乐，比共受患难，应该是更正常的友谊中的趣味。

性质极为简单。把饭给自己有饭吃的人吃．那是请饭：自己有饭可吃而去吃人家的饭，那是常面子。交际的微妙不外乎此。反过来说，把饭给予没饭吃的人吃，那是施食：自己无饭可吃而去吃人家的饭，赏面子就一变而为丢脸。这便是慈善救济，算不上交际了。至于请饭时客人数目的多少，男女性别的配比，我们改天再谈。
