JOHN WYNDHAM THE CHRYSALIDS 1 When I was quite small I would sometimes dream of a city — which was strange because it began before I even knew what a city was. But this city, clustered on the curve of a big blue bay, would come into my mind. I could see the streets, and the buildings that lined them, the waterfront, even boats in the harbour; yet, waking, I had never seen the sea, or a boat. ... And the buildings were quite unlike any I knew. The traffic in the streets was strange, carts running

The parent’s ambitions for the son aren’t what you would call normal. The headmaster of the school says that Charles attendance will

We do not, with Bertheau, understand 19a: by many words a transgression does not cease to be what it is; the contrast 19b requires a more general condemnation of the multitude of words, and חדל not only means to cease from doing (to leave off), and to cease from being (to take away), but also not at all to do (to intermit, Ezekiel 3:11; Zechariah 11:12), and not at all to be (to fail, to be absent), thus: ubi verborum est abundantia non deest peccatum (Fl.).

楔子 入冬的校園令人直打寒顫。年尾的時刻、刺骨的寒流、變化莫測的陰雨綿綿。 惱人的冬季。 還記得以前的規律生活，早上七點半到下午五點放學，穿著與大夥相同的紫色制服，拖著沉甸甸的書包步在滿是青苔的紅磚道上，有著憧憬，在模擬考和段考間來回打滾，在學測和指考中求生存。 然後，我來到了這裡。 哈。」我吐出一口氣，裊裊白煙順著風成縷縷細絲。 眨眼，一個學期將至。手指數了數自己究竟經歷了幾次夜唱、幾次宵夜團、幾次身不由己的偷偷翹課。 我發現兩隻手數不完。 「小苑！你怎麼又放空啊？」甫回神，只見聲音源頭離自己身後越來越近。唰唰唰＿＿雨傘和外套的摩擦聲滿天響。 是小椿，拿著巨大無底傘戳我的傢伙。 「好好玩。」她笑，一臉興奮。 這就是小椿，開心的時候會突然手舞足蹈；難過的時候便會幾瓶酒灌肚後放聲大哭。 這是她，一位真性格的女孩。 「今晚我要去打排球喔，要打比賽。」她突然作出攻擊步的樣子，試著露出兇狠的表情。 「好唷。」我說，尾音因震動的手機上揚了八度。 是大乎。 1. 「晚上要不要去聊天？」接起話筒，另一端的他說，帶著很輕鬆的口吻。 「好。」 不知是開學來的第
