這是我這兩年來讀的書裡面最好看的一本。劉宇昆:《摺紙動物園》。 最早知道他的原因是他擔任兩個書的中翻英翻譯《三體》與《北京折疊》。有關注中文科幻的人,就知道這兩本的英譯本分別在 2015 和 2016 年獲得雨果獎(科幻文學類的世界級獎項)。當然原本沒有抱太大的期待,只...
评分第一次读那篇获奖无数的 “Paper Menagerie” 是高中备考SAT时做到的一篇阅读理解,节选的内容和考试的试题主要探讨了美国二代移民的身份认知与矛盾。当时还在国内读书的我死活不能理解为什么作者不愿玩纸玩具,不愿跟母亲说英文,不愿吃中国菜非要吃美国菜。 来美国的第三年重...

评分Will state change of the soul happen to everyone? Or it only happens to those who dare to risk their lives for something great? Would it ever happen to someone who believes 100% that his soul is fixed? Would someone else want to risk her life to help him? I...
初读觉得感动,再读经不起推敲,设定简单,展开不充分,煽情用力,亲子,民族等深情主题,但语言美感缺乏与太过于直白的抒发,显得cheap thrill,不过华裔作家也许就应该写这样的作品.The Paper Menagerie, Mono no Aware, Simulacrum
评分折纸那篇六年前看过翻译版感觉很一般,今年读英文版倒觉得细腻,可能中文本身的含蓄性表达愤怒和爱意这些不含蓄的情绪,不搭。 State change不错,其他很多文章过多中国元素,令我觉得不适,感觉在打种族牌。(在创意不足的文章里,异文化会觉得喧宾夺主)。距Ted chiang还有一大截。
评分听了audiobook,我只想说你们不买账的部分我买,不管是故事本身语言节奏还是叙述方式,我都被戳到了。
评分3.5. Overrated.
评分小刘真的太棒了ಥ_ಥ (最喜欢的故事居然是state change 当然折纸动物等一系列故事都让人掉眼泪 饭政治意味未免太浓重 state change就是淡淡的忧伤 但又觉得已经是最好的结局了。 (呜呜我爱小刘
