2、考未来的作品。世界史纲是作者于1918年开始撰写的一部人类历史的百科全书,曾在世界范围内产生广泛影响。此书于1920年出版,后于19231930年间几次修订再版,内容写到第一次世界大战。此书最初由谢冰心等人翻译并介绍到我国。It isnt every one whos been a god, said the sunburnt man. But its happened to me. Among other things.I intimated my sense of his condescension. It dont leave much for ambition, does it? sa
3、id the sunburnt man. I was one of those men who were saved from the Ocean Pioneer. Gummy! how time flies! Its twenty years ago. I doubt if youll remember anything of the Ocean Pioneer?The name was familiar, and I tried to recall when and where I had read it. The Ocean Pioneer? Something about gold d
4、ust, I said vaguely, but the precise- Thats it, he said. In a beastly little channel she hadnt no business in-dodging pirates. It was before theyd put the kybosh on that business. And thered been volcanoes or something and all the rocks was wrong. Theres places about by Soona where you fair have to
5、follow the rocks about to see where theyre going next. Down she went in twenty fathoms before you could have dealt for whist, with fifty thousand pounds worth of gold aboard, it was said, in one form or another. Survivors?Three.I remember the case now, I said. There was something about salvage-But a
6、t the word salvage the sunburnt man exploded into language so extraordinarily horrible that I stopped aghast. He came down to more ordinary swearing, and pulled himself up abruptly. Excuse me, he said, but-salvage! He leant over towards me. I was in that job, he said. Tried to make myself a rich man
7、, and got made a god instead. Ive got my feelings- It aint all jam being a god, said the sunburnt man, and for some time conversed by means of such pithy but unprogressive axioms. At last he took up his tale again. There was me, said the sunburnt man, and a seaman named Jacobs, and Always, the mate
8、of the Ocean Pioneer. And him it was that set the whole thing going. I remember him now, when we was in the jolly-boat, suggesting it all to our minds just by one sentence. He was a wonderful hand at suggesting things. There was forty thousand pounds, he said, on that ship, and its for me to say jus
9、t where she went down. It didnt need much brains to tumble to that. And he was the leader from the first to the last. He got hold of the Sanderses and their brig; they were brothers, and the brig was the Pride of Banya, and he it was bought the diving-dress- a second-hand one with a compressed air a
10、pparatus instead of pumping. Hed have done the diving too, if it hadnt made him sick going down. And the salvage people were mucking about with a chart hed cooked up, as solemn as could be, at Starr Race, a hundred and twenty miles away. I can tell you we was a happy lot aboard that brig, jokes and
11、drink and bright hopes all the time. It all seemed so neat and clean and straightforward, and what rough chaps call a cert. And we used to speculate how the other blessed lot, the proper salvagers, whod started two days before us, were getting on, until our sides fairly ached. We all messed together
12、 in the Sanderses cabin-it was a curious crew, all officers and no men-and there stood the diving-dress waiting its turn. Young Sanders was a humorous sort of chap, and there certainly was something funny in the confounded things great fat head and its stare, and he made us see it too. Jimmie Goggle
13、s, he used to call it, and talk to it like a Christian. Asked if he was married, and how Mrs. Goggles was, and all the little Goggleses. Fit to make you split. And every blessed day all of us used to drink the health of Jimmy Goggles in rum, and unscrew his eye and pour a glass of rum in him, until,
14、 instead of that nasty mackintosheriness, he smelt as nice in his inside as a cask of rum. It was jolly times we had in those days, I can tell you-little suspecting, poor chaps! what was a-coming. We werent going to throw away our chances by any blessed hurry, you know, and we spent a whole day soun
15、ding our way towards where the Ocean Pioneer had gone down, right between two chunks of ropy grey rock-lava rocks that rose nearly out of the water. We had to lay off about half a mile to get a safe anchorage, and there was a thundering row who should stop on board. And there she lay just as she had
16、 gone down, so that you could see the top of the masts that was still standing perfectly distinctly. The row ending in all coming in the boat. I went down in the diving-dress on Friday morning directly it was light. What a surprise it was! I can see it all now quite distinctly. It was a queer-lookin
17、g place, and the light was just coming. People over here think every blessed place in the tropics is a flat shore and palm trees and surf, bless em! This place, for instance, wasnt a bit that way. Not common rocks they were, undermined by waves; but great curved banks like ironwork cinder heaps, wit
18、h green slime below, and thorny shrubs and things just waving upon them here and there, and the water glassy calm and clear, and showing you a kind of dirty grey-black shine, with huge flaring red-brown weeds spreading motionless, and crawling and darting things going through it. And far away beyond
19、 the ditches and pools and the heaps was a forest on the mountain flank, growing again after the fires and cinder showers of the last eruption. And the other way forest, too, and a kind of broken-what is it?-ambytheatre of black and rusty cinders rising out of it all, and the sea in a kind of bay in
20、 the middle. The dawn, I say, was just coming, and there wasnt much colour about things, and not a human being but ourselves anywhere in sight up or down the channel. Except the Pride of Banya, lying out beyond a lump of rocks towards the line of the sea. Not a human being in sight, he repeated, and
21、 paused. I dont know where they came from, not a bit. And we were feeling so safe that we were all alone that poor young Sanders was a-singing. I was in Jimmy Goggles, all except the helmet. Easy, says Always, theres her mast. And after Id had just one squint over the gunwale, I caught up the bogey
22、and almost tipped out as old Sanders brought the boat round. When the windows were screwed and everything was all right, I shut the valve from the air belt in order to help my sinking, and jumped overboard, feet foremost-for we hadnt a ladder. I left the boat pitching, and all of them staring down i
23、nto the water after me, as my head sank down into the weeds and blackness that lay about the mast. I suppose nobody, not the most cautious chap in the world, would have bothered about a lookout at such a desolate place. It stunk of solitude. Of course you must understand that I was a greenhorn at di
24、ving. None of us were divers. Wed had to muck about with the thing to get the way of it, and this was the first time Id been deep. It feels damnable. Your ears hurt beastly. I dont know if youve ever hurt yourself yawning or sneezing, but it takes you like that, only ten times worse. And a pain over
