“Only a person who is congenitally self-centered has the effrontery and the stamina to write essays.”这句话解答了我长久以来的疑问。就是为什么我现在觉得程序大牛写的文章,读来总是明白晓畅,思路清晰。优秀的程序员和优秀的散文家,本来就是有共通点的嘛。
"What joins all these essays together is the love held by the author for what is transitory in life. The transitory more and more becomes one with the beautiful. It is a love so deep that it includes, may well account for, the humor and the poetry and the melancholy AND the dead accuracy filling the essays to the brim, the last respects and the celebrations together."

A fellow recently reported driving a stake into a snowbank,and when the point of the stake reached ground level it kept right on going,I haven't tested this-it's like the gull and the smelt,a matter of herasay.But I would have to have a pretty long stake,so remote is the ground.
不太理解这一段话,不太理解是什么意思,是为了说明下雪天土地不会结冻,木桩可以一直插到土里面去? 作者: Sharon 时间: 2013-9-28 06:10
