刚看到你的评论，我也正打算发帖聊约翰·麦克菲（John McPhee）呢。好书，强烈推荐。还有一本题材有点相关的也很棒：《寻找一艘船》（Looking for a Ship）。
I was about to post about John McPhee, too, when I saw your comment. Excellent book, recommended. Somewhat related, also great: Looking for a Ship.
既然你特别提到在集装箱船上工作，这里面不少书都带有航海色彩，而这恰好也是我个人的兴趣所在。约翰·麦克菲的《寻找一艘船》（Looking for a Ship），讲的是一个水手找工作并最终登船的故事。特雷弗·诺亚（Trevor Noah）的《生而为奴》（Born A Crime），不是关于另一份职业的，而是关于种族隔离时期的南非，我很喜欢它，真希望我当年能……
Since you called out working on a container ship, a lot of these have a nautical bent but that’s an area of my personal interest as well. Looking for a ship, John McPhee, Book about a sailor looking for work and eventually catching a ship. Born A Crime, Trevor Noah, not about another career but Apertheid South Africa, I enjoyed it and wished I would have…
麦克菲真是国宝级作家。如果你感兴趣的话，那篇文章就收录在他的《非同寻常的搬运工》（Uncommon Carriers）一书中，书里还描写了火车和内河驳船之旅。《寻找一艘船》（Looking for a Ship）也非常棒，全程记录了一名商船海员经历该项工作的各个阶段。《结合能曲线》（The Curve of Binding Energy）则是对西奥多·泰勒（Theodore Taylor）的精彩研究，这位工程师设计了史上最小的核弹头……
McPhee is truly a national treasure. If you're interested, that article was one of several published in his book Uncommon Carriers which includes a train and river barge voyage. Looking for a Ship is also great as it follows a merchant marine through various stages of that job. The Curve of Binding Energy is a fascinating study of Theodore Taylor, the engineer behind the smallest nuke warhead…
……coded-16.tff > 屏幕上跳出了他的著作《开山之鱼》（The Founding Fish）的部分内容。他输入了更多命令，大块大块的绿色文字闪烁跳动着：一份他已发表文章的完整目录；他1990年的著作《寻找一艘船》（Looking for a Ship）。 > 我感觉自己就像身处计算机博物馆，看着馆长摆弄他最爱的古董玩意儿。麦克菲一生中从未用过传统的文字处理软件。他是世界上仅存的少数……
…coded-16.tff > Up came portions of his book “The Founding Fish.” He typed in further commands, and hunks of green text went blinking around: a complete inventory of his published articles; his 1990 book, “Looking for a Ship.” > I felt as if I were in a computer museum, watching the curator take his favorite oddity for a spin. McPhee has never used a traditional word processor in his life. He is one of the world’s few remaining…
几周前我刚读完《寻找一艘船》（Looking for a Ship）。我还读过《橙子》（Oranges）以及《前世世界的编年史》（Annals of the Former World），还有他精选集里的一些短篇。他的文字对我来说时灵时不灵（hit and miss），但只要戳中了，那就真的直击心灵……
I just finished Looking for a Ship a few weeks ago. I have read Oranges as well, and Annals of the Former World, and some of his shorter pieces in a Best Of collection. I am hit and miss on his writing, but when it hits, it hits hard for…
