PERSONAL STAND, A(ISBN=9780345499349) 英文原版 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

Country music superstar Trace Adkins isn’t exactly known for

holding back what’s on his mind. And if the millions of albums he’s

sold are any indication, when Trace talks, people listen. Now, in A

Personal Stand, Trace Adkins delivers his maverick manifesto on

politics, personal responsibility, fame, parenting, being true to

yourself, hard work, and the way things oughta be.

In his inimitable pull-no-punches style, Trace gives us the state

of the union as he sees it, from the lessons of his boyhood in

small-town Louisiana to what he’s learned headlining concerts

around the world. Trace has worked oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico,

been shot in the heart, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, and

braved perhaps the greatest challenge of all: being the father of

five daughters. And shaped by these experiences, he’s sounding

off.

? I’m incredibly frustrated with the state of American politics. If

there were a viable third party, I’d seriously consider joining

it.

? If anybody wonders who the good guys are and who the bad guys are

in this world, just look at the way we teach our children as

opposed to the way the fundamentalist Muslims teach their

children.

? Organized labor now exists for the sake of organized labor, and

not for the workers it once protected.

? I believe the easiest way to solve the illegal immigration

enforcement problem is to go after the employers who hire illegal

aliens.

? As a society, we’re unwilling to sacrifice our luxuries and our

conveniences in order to conserve. We won’t change until we’re

forced to.

? The war on terror is like herpes. People can live with it, but

it’ll flare up from time to time.

Brash, ballsy, persuasive, and controversial, A Personal Stand

isn’t just the story of Trace Adkins’s life; it’s the story of what

life can teach all of us.

  汇集了有关史努比和它打字机的片段，还有一些关于舒尔茨的回忆和关于写作的小文。小时候看PEANUTS，其实很多都没有看懂。但是我还是更喜欢根据发表时间来的，完整的PEANUTS漫画。

  终于看完了原著，虽然对比了3个翻译版本，但的确是原汁原味著作更让人有行云流水与剑芒乍现之感。全书着眼于乡村生活，以平淡的生活素材来描绘不同人性的爱情追求。也许从时代背景上让人感觉有些模糊，但是所反映的问题却也是历久弥新。如果把此文归类于情景剧，来集中反映生活百态，也并不为过。虽然，其主线是不同婚姻观的思辨，但更深层次的却也是对人性的勾勒。从柯林斯与夏洛特以金钱利益为交换的婚姻，到威克姆和丽迪亚欲望与激情的冲动结合；从宾利与简之间的迂回等待，到达西和伊丽莎白所持傲慢与偏见的百转千回。。无不反映出奥斯汀对婚姻观的独特剖析和刻画。作为布景般陪衬的亲朋邻里的勾心斗角、世俗献媚，带有反讽意味地批驳了现实生活的种种浮夸与势利。也许不同的人看《傲慢与偏见》会有不同的解读与反思，而于我而言，在伊丽莎白的身上

  掩卷我意识到，这个故事没有那种我以为会有的绝对的戏剧冲突式高潮，它的激烈、复原、碰撞、新生......被分布在了故事中的各个角落。几条人物线，缠紧又松开，待我意识到时，原来某条线的上一次出场已是最后一次，上一次未明的走向就是他/她的结局，那未知的手术、未明的未来、未说完的话......都随着奥列格的离开消失在视野中。而奥列格呢，他这才宛如真正离开了劳改营，美的花、新的事物、动人的气味、镜中坍缩的身影......索尔仁尼琴无疑使用了隐晦的意象与暗喻，但在那个病人看医学书是禁忌、医科学生也会疑心的年代，即使如此，也难逃“厄运”。

• 中国悬疑烂写手导读

  作者：打脱手 发布时间：2010-05-13 00:59:06

         这本书很好，好就好在罗列了一些个烂写手，让今后在书店里看到这些如雷贯耳的大名时不用惶惶地拜读浪费时间了。

      论名气，我感觉周德东和蔡骏应该是这部集子的第一梯队了。关于这两人不在这里多说，总之我觉得他们很类似“南慕容北乔峰”。

      第二梯队，就是平时有点名气的，诸如老家阁楼、麦洁、大袖遮天等。

      大袖遮天是国内“第二梯队”里我比较偏爱的，她有特色也有痼疾，但我蛮喜欢她对人之间疏离的深入剖析，包括这篇《因为孤独》；

      老家阁楼的《望欲》，也还尚可；

      麦洁的《蜡香》，如果不是被书商逼迫连夜赶工的话，可以断定麦洁是个徒有其名的人，这部小说无论从立意、情节还是语言上来说，都像个高中生；

      沈醉天的《完美谋杀》、沉默群山的《死爱》，尚可一读，虽然有些眼熟；

      庄秦，名声在外，其实了了，不过他入选的《博客凶灵》也还算行；名声在同一量级的成刚的《撞鬼记》，悬疑不足，主题稍好；

      老猫《我睡不着》也可以看看；

      《隐身搭档》初看不错，继续读风格有些眼熟，原来它的风格很“故事会”，不过在这部书里也算比下有余了；

      谢飞《以牙还牙》其烂无比；

      雷米的《第七个读者》也算不错，只不过看多了CM后，这类变态连环杀人有些麻木了。

       以上可见，对这些小说大都是“尚可”、“还行”，因此最终打分也是“还行”。回头上天涯翻点贴子，你会发现很多网上的“业余选手”写得比这几位要强。
