"Ah, gentlemen, now I am ready," he exclaimed at length, when everything was arranged to his satisfaction. "You see, here is a lump of sugar carbon--pure amorphous carbon: Diamonds, as you know, are composed of pure carbon crystallised under enormous pressure. Now, my theory is that if we can combine an enormous pressure and an enormous heat we can make diamonds artificially. The problem of pressure is the thing, for here in the furnace we have the necessary heat. It occurred to me that when molten cast iron cools it exerts a tremendous pressure. That pressure is what I use."英文原著 · 《The Silent Bullet》
The pressman laughed and slapped Dad on the back, and asked "How do you feel, old boy?" Dad shook his head and spat and spat. But presently he wiped his eyes with his shirt-sleeve and looked up. The pressman told Mother she ought to be proud of Dad. Dad struggled to his feet then, pale but smiling. The pressman shook hands with him, and in no time Dad was laughing and joking over the operation. A pleased look was in Mother's face; happiness filled the home again, and we grew quite fond of that pressman--he was so jolly and affable, and made himself so much at home, Mother said.英文原著 · 《On Our Selection》
I think that men living in aristocracies may, strictly speaking, do without the liberty of the press: but such is not the case with those who live in democratic countries. To protect their personal independence I trust not to great political assemblies, to parliamentary privilege, or to the assertion of popular sovereignty. All these things may, to a certain extent, be reconciled with personal servitude - but that servitude cannot be complete if the press is free: the press is the chiefest democratic instrument of freedom.英文原著 · 《Democracy In America-2》

His arms no longer clasped the empty air; they pressed to his breast the woman whom he loved, and for whom he was to die. He pressed his lips to her mouth and she returned his kisses. He threw his arms around her form, and she pressed him fast, fast to her bosom. Was this a reality?英文原著 · 《Henry VIII and His Court》
And those lies! Germans couldn't do such things. It's a campaign of hate against us, set up by the English Press."
"I daresay the German Press is no better," said Michael. "If that is so, I should be just as indignant about the German Press," said she. "But it is only your guess that it is so."
Suddenly she stopped, and came a couple of steps nearer him. "Michael, it isn't possible that you believe those things of us?" she said. He got up. "Ah, do leave it alone, Sylvia," he said.英文原著 · 《Michael》
