Homage to Catalonia 是 George Orwell 亲历“西班牙内战”的纪实回忆录。当时许多英国工人和工会成员、社会主义者一同前往，渴望协助西班牙人民抵御佛朗哥将军的法西斯军队以捍卫共和国。Orwell 加入了西班牙加泰罗尼亚地区的 POUM 民兵组织，在战斗中身负重伤并被遣送回英格兰。在撤离前线准备离开西班牙期间，Orwell 亲眼目睹了共产党的政治阴谋，导致 POUM 被定性为“人民公敌”并惨遭取缔消灭。

乔治·奥威尔关于他在西班牙内战期间经历的回忆录（《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》）是一本神作。他有着极其敏锐的洞察力，能透过革命后各派系造成的种种混乱和宣传，看清背后的政治实质。对此我思考过很多……
George Orwell’s memoir about his time in Spain during the war (“An Homage to Catalonia”) is a great book. He has a wonderful mind for seeing the politics behind all of the confusion and propaganda from all the factions that formed after the revolution. I have thought about this a lot…
如果有人感兴趣的话，乔治·奥威尔记录他内战经历的《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》是一本很棒的英文读物。我不是专家，但感觉写得相当客观公正。而且因为是奥威尔写的，读起来通俗易懂。
For anyone interested, George Orwell's account of his experiences during the civil war, "Homage to Catalonia" is a good english language read on the subject. Not an expert, but it seems pretty impartial. And its Orwell so its easy to read.
“任何书，无论写得多好，都经不起带着敌意的阅读。”真是这样吗？我读的第一本奥威尔的书（《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》）是一门历史课的必读书目——那门课之前指定的几本文学作品简直烂透了。所以我一开始很悲观，勉勉强强地读。但读到一半时，我意识到……
"No book, however good, can survive a hostile reading." Is that really true? The first Orwell book I read (Homage to Catalonia) was required for a history class -- a class that had previously assigned some truly awful literature. So I was pessimistic and I read it grudgingly at first. But halfway through the book, I realized…
……给高管在飞机上没 wifi 时打发时间读的。其次，找几个既硬核又好读的作家的作品，开始锻炼你的阅读肌肉。乔治·奥威尔就很适合，去读《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》，再买一本他的散文集。读几部贝克特的戏剧，试试《终局》，然后为那堆玩意儿挠头抓狂。读读尼尔·波兹曼的书，然后感叹一句：操，关于科技他说得真准。读书的意义在于……
…executive to amuse themselves with while there's no wifi on a plane. Second, start building those muscles with the few people who are both challenging and accessible. George Orwell is great for this, read Homage to Catalonia and get a collection of his essays. Read a few Beckett plays, try Endgame and scratch your head at that shit. Read some Neil Postman and be like, yeah, he was right about technology. The idea with books…
……我试着去读的时候觉得很无聊。但它确实包含一些非常有趣的观点。我对《1984》不感冒，可能是因为之前在别处就已经接触过它最核心的那些观点了。奥威尔是个了不起的作家，强烈推荐《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》和《动物农场》。用通俗易懂的文笔把复杂的话题讲透了。
…boring when I tried to read it. But it does have some very interesting ideas. My issue with 1984 may have been prior exposure to it's best ideas elsewhere. Orwell is a great writer, highly recommend both "Homage to Catalonia" and "Animal Farm". Complex topics written in an accessible style.
与其去读诺姆·乔姆斯基那种脱离实际隔岸观火的政治宣传（要知道乔姆斯基可是给红色高棉这类政权洗过地的），不如直接读奥威尔的《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》，里面写的都是亲身经历。或者看任何其他第一手资料都行。
Instead of reading Noam Chomsky's propaganda written from great distance (knowing that Chomsky has been an apologist for e.g. the Khmer Rouge), just read Orwell's Homage to Catalonia where he relates direct experience. Or any other primary source.
