发帖数: 82482 | 1 I was reminded of something--an elusive rhythm, a fragment of lost words,
that I had heard somewhere a long time ago. For a moment a phrase tried to
take shape in my mouth and my lips parted like a dumb man's, as though there
was more struggling upon them than a wisp of startled air. But they made no
sound and what I had almost remembered was uncommunicable forever.
看到这样的文笔总忍不住想调侃两句，可能是我已经变态了，咔咔！

开始民团不得不用枪托击打冲击护卫防线的暴徒，但是跟着冲突升级，司铎带领手下人
开始抢夺民团的武器。

geographically very localised.
Virtually nobody of non-Caucasian descent will carry even a single copy of
