“你常说要‘沦落为丧家之犬’——好吧，这里就是狗窝，你已经到了。”George Orwell在伦敦和巴黎流落于赤贫者与无家可归者之间时写下的生动回忆录，是一次对社会底层的感人巡礼。在此，他细致入微地记录了一个充斥着无休止苦工与污秽的世界——睡在臭虫横行的招待所和廉价通铺客栈，在下流的“X饭店”做洗碗工，与流浪汉为伍，靠残羹冷炙和烟蒂苟活——这令人难忘地道出了潦倒落魄的真实境况。

大多数人一辈子读的唯一一本奥威尔的书大概就是它了，挺遗憾的。我个人觉得这是他写得相对平庸的一本，我更喜欢《动物庄园》、《巴黎伦敦落魄记》还有他的随笔，而他文学成就最高的作品大概是《致敬加泰罗尼亚》。
It's a pity for most people this will be the only Orwell's book they will read, personally I find it one of his weaker ones, I liked "Animal farm", "Down and out in Paris and London" and his essays much more, and his biggest literary achievement is probably "Homage for Catalonia".
……是时候重温一遍了。有哪些书是你发现自己会反复去读（或者想去重温）的？我的书单：- 《领域驱动设计》（Domain Driven Design） - 雷·布拉德伯里的短篇小说集和《华氏451》 - 乔治·奥威尔的《巴黎伦敦落魄记》、《通往维冈码头之路》 - 《坠入地狱》（Descent into Hell） - 《魔戒》、《霍比特人》和《纳尼亚传奇》 - 《银河系漫游指南》 - 《诗篇》、《约伯记》、《雅各书》 - 《基督徒知足的珍宝》（The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment） - 温德尔·贝里的散文集……
…time to re-read it. What are some books you find your self going back to repeatedly (or want to)? My list: - Domain Driven Design - Ray Bradbury's short stories and Farenheit 451 - George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier - Descent into Hell - LotR, the Hobbit, and Narnia - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Psalms, Job, James - The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment - Wendell Berry's Essays…
如果你对这方面感兴趣，我绝对推荐你读读乔治·奥威尔的《巴黎伦敦落魄记》（Down and Out in Paris and London）。那是对他人生中一段穷困潦倒岁月的记录，写得非常引人入胜。
If this is interesting to you, I would absolutely recommend you read Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell. It is a very engaging account of a period of destitution in his life.
一百年前这些在欧美非常普遍，但法律和文化观念的转变遏制了这种现象。就拿蛇油（snake oil）或者各种其他的“神药”来说吧。比如可以看奥威尔的《巴黎伦敦落魄记》，他在里面提到了很多事，其中就讲到20世纪初巴黎的餐馆后厨极其恶心且危险，但因为餐馆前厅看起来干干净净，顾客……
A lot of this was common in the US and Europe a hundred years ago, but laws and changing culture have stopped it. Just look at snake oil, or the many other “remedies”. See, eg, “ Down and Out in Paris and London” by Orwell, where among many other things he talks about how the restaurant kitchens in early 1900s Paris were extremely gross and dangerous, but because the front of the restaurants were clean, the customers…
任何认真想靠极少开销生活的人都应该看看 http://www.theskintfoodie.com/recipes.html。如果你真的想过得比那还要省，那我只能推荐奥威尔的《巴黎伦敦落魄记》了，里面有个绝妙的招数：在往面包上抹黄油之前，先把刀抹一下大蒜，这样能骗身体觉得自己吃了一顿大餐。我自己有几年就是靠 http://www.complan.com 过日子的，那个……
Anyone serious about living on little should read http://www.theskintfoodie.com/recipes.html And if you're really serious about living on less than that then I can only recommend Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London" for the wonderful tip of smearing garlic on a knife before you put butter on bread to convince your body you've eaten a hearty meal. I personally lived a couple of years on http://www.complan.com which…
埃里克·布莱尔（也就是大家熟知的乔治·奥威尔）写过两部对穷困折磨最辛辣刻骨的描写：《巴黎伦敦落魄记》http://www.george-orwell.org/Down_and_Out_in_Paris_and_Londo... 和《通往维冈码头之路》http://www.george-orwell.org/The_Road_to_Wigan_Pier/
Eric Blair (known to some as George Orwell) wrote two of the most biting descriptions of the grind of poverty: Down and out in Paris and London http://www.george-orwell.org/Down_and_Out_in_Paris_and_Londo... The Road to Wigan Pier http://www.george-orwell.org/The_Road_to_Wigan_Pier/
