How shall we begin?

This is the story of a book called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy —not an Earth book, never published on Earth and, until the terrible catastrophe occurred, never seen or even heard of by any Earthman. Nevertheless, a wholly remarkable book.

or

This is the story of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy , a number-one best seller in England, a weekly radio series with millions of fanatic listeners, and soon to be a television spectacle on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

or

This is the story of Arthur Dent, who, secnds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, is plucked off the planet by his friend, Ford Prefect, who has been posing as an out-of-work actor for the last fifteen years but is really a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Together they begin a journey through the galaxy aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, with the words don’t panic written on the front. (“A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.”)

In their travels they meet:

•Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch President of the Galaxy

•Trillian—Zaphod’s girl friend, formerly Tricia McMillan, whom Arthur once tried to pick up at a cocktail party

•Marvin—a paranoid android, a brilliant but chronically depressed robot

•Veet Voojagig—former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years

To find the answers to these burning questions: Why are we born? Why do we die? And why do we spend so much time in between wearing digital watches? read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . But remember . . . don’t panic, and don’t forget to bring a towel.

读后感

首先，这个中文版很可能是未授权翻译出书的, 根据维基的资料(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_as_international_phenomenon) ,截至2005年，这本书的所有授权翻译版当中不包括中文。 另外，这个翻译极不认真，有很多问题，随便列举一些开...

道格拉斯·亚当斯。多么俗的名字。 读完这本小说，你绝对会爱上他。而且你不要担心读这本书会很费时，因为你会忘了时间。 被称为“科幻圣经”，绝不可能是浪得虚名！ “让一个沃贡人把酒吐出来的最好办法就是用你的手指戳进他的喉咙，而激怒他的最好办法则是把他的祖母拿去喂贪...  

徐百柯是谁？哪里来这么个人？难道是以前希望出版社的垃圾编辑出身？这种翻译水平居然会让他连译了两本！两本！《银河系漫游指南》和《宇宙尽头的餐厅》！当之无愧的名著谋杀者！  

用户评价

又一个有趣的老头...一切都这么荒唐，so take it easy...

好看！脑洞和黑色幽默都可以说是一流了，看的时候一直忍不住嘴角上扬哈哈

看完了才发现是连载？嗯？英式干幽默真的好好笑，但是乱码式的名字名称读到头秃。#16

Funny. Funny. Absolutely Funny in a every single British sense of humor. I love, love, love this book

Simply love it. Easy and fun to read. Highly recommended for sci-fi fans.
