The Love letter
迟到的情书
I was always a little in awe of Great-aunt Stephina Roos. Indeed, as children we were all frankly terrified of her. The fact that she did not live with the family, preferring her tiny cottage and solitude to the comfortable but rather noisy household where we were brought

　　Rich Dad\'s Advice: Don\'t Work for Money
　　富爸爸的忠告：不做有才华的穷人
“穷人为钱而工作，而富人让金钱为他工作。”这句罗伯特·T·清崎的至理名言曾红极一时。47岁退休时，他已是千万富翁，在他不经意地写下《富爸爸穷爸爸》之后，便一下子成了全世界最有名的“爸爸”。在罗伯特看来，人们在财务困境中挣扎的主要原因是：在学校里学习多年，却没有学到任何关于金钱方面的知识。其结果是，人们只知道为金钱而工作……但从来不学着让金钱为自己工作。如果你开始对提高自己的财商感兴趣，听听富爸爸的金玉良言是个不错的选

In a little district west of Washington Square the streets have run crazy and broken themselves into small strips called "places." These "places" make strange angles and curves.

The World at a Glance 按图索骥看世界
Ages ago, people had little knowledge of faraway lands. Unless1 one had traveled abroad, or spoken with someone who had, places beyond the horizon2 remained a mystery.3 The invention of maps, however, allowed people to hold the whole world in their hands.

译者点评：普罗泰格拉说，人类胜过动物，全恃道德。如是，道德就成了衡量人与动物的一把尺子。其实，人与动物之间的关系不仅仅能反映人的道德观，也反映动物的道德观。人狗之间与人猫之间所反映的就是两种不同的动物的道德观：忠诚与奸诈。这决定了人对动物的不同态度：忠诚博得了宠爱，奸诈遭到了疏远。结果也导致了狗猫之间的频频战事。而事实上，人与人，人与动物，动物与动物，未必不能和睦相处：关键在于理解和爱。

Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag.She stood by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow would be Christams Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been sa
