多年的保险业生涯以及与毫无情趣的 Hilda 的婚姻,对 George Bowling 而言无异于行尸走肉般的生活。这与对另一场战争的恐惧,让他的思绪飘回了童年在一个宁静乡村小镇的安宁时光。但他重返 Lower Binfield 的旅程带来的却是彻底的幻灭。

整个 20 世纪都是这样逐渐演变的。乔治·奥威尔早在 20 世纪 30 年代的《上来透口气》(Coming Up for Air)[1] 中就写到了乡村生活的郊区化。强烈推荐。[1] https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/509080.Coming_Up_for_Air
It's been progressively so throughout the entire 20th century. George Orwell wrote about the suburbanisation of rural life in his "Coming Up for Air" [1] back in the 1930s. Highly recommended. [1] https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/509080.Coming_Up_for_Air
《上来透口气》(Coming Up for Air)是他另一部知名度相对较低的作品,非常值得一读。
"Coming Up for Air" is another of his lesser known works, which is worth a read.
……接下来会发生什么。我觉得《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》算不上一本名著,但它展现了关于奥威尔的自传性洞见,以及这段经历如何启发他写出后来那些更优秀的作品,因此很有价值。我还想补充一点,《上来透口气》(Coming Up For Air)写得极好而且被低估了。建议试试有声书。任何中年男人都能领会其中那种平静又克制的真诚。
…come next. I think Homage to Catalonia is not a great book, but valuable for the autobiographical insight about Orwell, and how it informed him to write those other, better works. I would also add that Coming Up For Air is delightful and underrated. Try the audio book. Any middle-aged man can appreciate the quiet understated honesty.
我很惊讶于《保持叶兰飞扬》(Keep The Aspidistra Flying)和《上来透口气》(Coming Up For Air)中的许多主题竟然如此现代化:在《保持叶兰飞扬》中,包括商业化和大肆做广告的负面影响、对金钱的痴迷(源于对金钱的依赖)、在试图……时入不敷出的困境。
I was surprised at how modern many of the themes in both Keep The Aspidistra Flying and Coming Up For Air are, from (in Keep The Aspidistra Flying) the negative effects of commercialisation and mass advertising, obsession with (because of a dependence on) money, difficulties making ends meet when trying to…
我很喜欢《上来透口气》(Coming Up For Air)。我觉得文章里的描述和原书对不上。书里的怀旧情绪属于那个角色,而不属于作者。两者之间有着相当耐人寻味的讽刺距离。叙述者……
I enjoyed Coming Up For Air. I didn't find the description in the article matched the book. The nostalgia in the book is that of the character not of the author. There is a reasonable ironic distance between the two. The narrator…
《上来透口气》(Coming Up for Air)基本上就是我童年的缩影。
Coming Up for Air is practically my childhood in a nutshell
