我是一个在外地求学的大学生 每次走在异乡的街头 看车流人流潺动 总觉得心里空空的 借用书里的一句话 “他在城市生活中的一切,都缺乏原因和结果。” 我经常被这本书中的某一句话怔住 慢慢 慢慢地想想 现在我读了一半了 发现现在走在街头时,好像有了一些方向感 城市在心中...
评分城市走在时代的最前端,是挖掘财富、孕育时尚、造就精英的集中地。这些特质让城市成了许多人眼中实现梦想、获得财富、赢得地位的竞技场。 带着对城市的憧憬,人们毅然背起行囊,远离家乡和亲人,从四面八方涌入城市。进入城市以后,快节奏的城市生活让人们尚未来得及感知真实的...
评分内容还是很有趣,但这部书更大的意义,在于说明优秀的内容如何被糟糕翻译所毁掉。翻译讲究信达雅,而译者的表现令人怀疑其母语究竟是不是中文: 一是欧式文法通篇硬译,定语冗长,例如第二章“他们带有已经习惯总是被人怀疑不干好事者所特有的那种偷偷摸摸的神情”,类似表述让...

In the city we can live deliberately: inventing and renewing ourselves, carving out journeys, creating private spaces. But in the city we are also afraid of being alone, clinging to the structures of daily life to ward off the chaos around us.
How is it that the noisy, jostling, overwhelming metropolis leaves us at once so energized and so fragile? In Soft City, one of our most acclaimed novelists and travel writers seeks to find out. First published in the 1970s, his account is a compelling exploration of urban life: a classic in the literature of the city, more relevant to today’s overcrowded planet than ever.
'A psychological handbook for urban survival' Sunday Telegraph
Cities, unlike villages and small towns, are plastic by nature…The city as we might imagine it, the soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate in maps and statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture. The city space is constructed as combination.
