Seeing that the dawn of Saturday was now breaking,the drums and trumpets and other music in the King's camp began to sound and the men to shout,so that it seemed as if the sky would fall to the earth;then the neighing and excitement of the horses,and the trumpeting of the elephants,it is impossible for any one to describe how it was.But even if told in simple truth it would hardly be believed the great fear and terror that struck those who heard it,so that even those very men that caused the noise were themselves frightened at it.And the enemy on their part made no less noise,so that if you asked anything you could not hear yourself speak and you had to ask by signs,since in no other manner could you make yourself understood.When all in the camp had gone to the front it was already two hours after sunrise,and the King ordered an advance of his two forward divisions,with command so to strike home that they should leave not one of the enemy alive;and this was forthwith done.They attacked the enemy so hotly that many of the King's troops found themselves on the tops of the trenches[554]that the Moors had constructed in the fields.The Moors were disposed as if they expected that the King would engage them all at once with all his forces,and so it appeared to the Ydallcao and to his officers;and for that reason he held ready all his artillery,waiting for the time when,owing to the adventurousness of their main body,his men must of necessity cause much slaughter in their ranks.Then he intended to bring up his artillery and destroy them.But as soon as he saw the manner of their attack the Ydallcao had to abandon the plan that had seemed to him best for their safety,and he commended the whole of the artillery at once to open fire;which discharge,as it was very great,did much damage to the enemy,killing many of the horse and foot and many elephants,and it compelled the King's troops to retire.As soon as the Moors saw their enemies beginning to leave the field they charged all amongst them,so that there did not remain one man in the saddle nor one who kept his face to the foe;but all the King's troops began to fly,and the Moors after them,slaughtering them for about half a league.When the King saw the way in which his troops fled he began to cry out that they were traitors,and that he would see who was his side;and that since they all had to die they should meet their fate boldly according to custom.[555]

《论语》中不可不知的人生哲理
《〈论语〉中不可不知的人生哲理》主要内容：《论语》是一部记录孔子言行的语录。一般人或许会想，记录孔子言行的书有什么好看的。圣人嘛，一定一天到晚道貌岸然，玩深沉，装伟大，其一言一行也必定乏味之极。如果你也这样想，那就错了。看完《论语》，你会发现孔子与一般人也没有什么两样，其一言一行也是非常平易近人、和蔼可亲的。
西方互文性理论对中国的影响
本文是一个典型的比较文学影响研究的课题。从比较的视角，综合运用理论分析、文本分析、社会批评、实证研究、文化研究等批评方法，对西方互文性理论及其在中国的译介、传播、影响和研究等方面进行全面深入的考察和研究。本文所探讨的互文性仅限于文学创作与文学理论方面的研究层面，对于国内出现的从语篇分析角度进行的诸多研究中只是在必要时提及，不进行深入研究和探讨。目前互文性在中国的研究还属于起步阶段，迄今为止只出版了一部专著，国内对互文性的研究和探讨可以说还处于有待深化和提升的阶段，因此本文将用较为浓重的笔墨对互文性理论的前历史、其在法国的诞生、其在欧美的流变及其理论本身的特点进行追根溯源、系统梳理和详尽描述

布什家族：主宰美国政治版图的豪门世家
在美国诸多的政治世家中，最为引人注目的莫过于四大家族。按照时间排列，分别是：亚当斯家族、罗斯福家族、肯尼迪家族和布什家族。相比肯尼迪族男性成员命运多舛、人丁衰落,布什家族显然强势得多。布什家族从政至少可以往前追溯四代。第一代塞缪尔·P.布什是钢铁石油大亨，曾担任过全美招商协会的会长、胡佛总统的顾问。第一个在政坛站稳脚跟的是塞缪尔·P.布什的儿子普雷斯科特·布什，他先经商后从政，当联邦参议员多年，结识了艾森豪威尔总统，为后辈从政打下了基础。
