喜欢kurt 喜欢约纳——约翰——山姆 喜欢沫娜 喜欢搏克农 喜欢侏儒小牛顿 喜欢橘子花瓣雪 马否马否,一派马否 忙啊忙啊忙啊 毫无希望。 喜欢他只言片语 喜欢他白痴地把东西不分巨细杂糅在一起 当然是用基督教定义下的白痴和基督教定义下的部分巨细和基督教的杂糅 还是去做个...
评分《猫的摇篮》 有新意思和幽默 一个个短章节组成,形式不是什么大创新,老实说。 不过他用一种奇怪语言定义,描绘和讽刺了世界:) 从这个角度看,发明自己的体系定义和阐述世界,还不错。 有一次发明家打赌我说不出任何称得上绝对整理的东西。于是我对他说,“上帝是爱” 他...
评分用这样的文字写成的一部著作,翻译时想刻意省略些什么也难。因为它针对的不只是意识形态的对错,更是在探讨科学的利弊,它涉及的完全不是政治制度的孰优孰劣,而是人的社会性的虚伪本性。 想要知道自己每天接触的人事物究竟有着怎样的本质,看这书吧。
评分介于翻译会给重读添堵,整理一些提要自用,或许已经有一些观念先入为主,读后恰好嫁接到这本书中,也罢。 首先释题: 政治、宗教、科学都是“猫的摇篮”,没有该死的猫,也没有该死的摇篮,只是一片唬人的虚无,(暗暗觉得其实爱情在作者眼里也算,好吧,是我觉得),正如《博...
评分这本书过于cynical,不是特别对我的味。换个角度,对照现在的世界来看本书表现的主题,可以很明显的感觉出,从作者成书到现在,人类社会发生了巨大转变。并不是说这本书的主题已不是当今社会的status quo,但这确实是一本典型的冷战时期的书。 全书有两个重要主题:对科学不负...

All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies'. Dr Felix Hoenikker, one of the founding fathers of the atomic bomb, has left a deadly legacy to the world. For he is the inventor of Ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet. The search for its whereabouts leads to Hoenikker's three eccentric children, to a crazed dictator in the Caribbean, to madness. Will Felix Hoenikker's death wish come true? Will his last, fatal gift to humankind bring about the end that, for all of us, is nigh? Told with deadpan humour and bitter irony, Kurt Vonnegut's cult tale of global apocalypse preys on our deepest fears of witnessing the end and, worse still, surviving it...
To be honest I didn't get the ending.
评分The ice-nine is useful, for its useless.
评分哭了笑,笑了哭。
