常有人问我究竟是如何开始经常吸食鸦片的；而在我相识的人的观念里，我极其不公地蒙受着指责，被认为我所记录的所有痛苦完全是由我自己一手招致的——全因长期沉溺于此只为制造一种人工的快感与兴奋。然而，这完全扭曲了我的实际情况。诚然，在近十年的时间里，我确实偶尔会为了它带来的极致愉悦而吸食鸦片；但只要我是抱着这种目的吸食，我就得以有效地免于

Here's an example: Confessions of an English Opium Eater ( http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2040/2040.txt ). Short for a biography, long for an article (couple hours read). The eloquent language itself makes going back to ordinary Internet English a pain. More…
