这是奥威尔写他公学生活的那篇散文《Such, Such Were the Joys》（如此，如此之乐）。作为一个美国人，我年轻时看《哈利·波特》，多年来一直对这类学校抱有浪漫的幻想。读了这篇散文后，我那些关于魔法城堡的幻想全破灭了。它还进一步谈到了……
Here is Orwell's essay about his time at a public school, "Such, Such Were the Joys." I, an American, had had a romantic view of these schools for years, after reading Harry Potter as a youngster. Reading this essay disabused me of my enchanted castle imaginings. It also speaks more…
这让我想起了奥威尔对自己求学经历的记述（《Such, Such Were The Joys》），里面有一段我最喜欢的名句（“重要的不仅是金钱：还有力量、美貌、魅力、运动天赋，以及一种被称为‘胆量’或‘性格’的东西，而这在现实中意味着……
Reminded me of Orwell's account of his education (Such, Such Were The Joys) which contains one of my favourite quotes ("It was not only money that mattered: there were also strength, beauty, charm, athleticism and something called ‘guts’ or ‘character’, which in reality meant…
……判断霸凌到底会造成一生的痛苦，还是那些 7 岁和 11 岁的小霸王故意去欺负那些他们认为刚开启痛苦一生的人？（读了奥威尔写他英国私立学校岁月的《Such, Such Were the Joys》，让我对他《1984》中那种“残忍本身就是目的”的世界有了深刻理解）
…determine whether bullying causes a lifetime of misery, or whether 7 and 11 year old bullies are deliberately picking on those they think are just beginning their lifetimes of misery? (reading Orwell's Such, Such Were the Joys about his english private school days gave me great insight into his "the cruelty is the point" world of 1984)
顺着这个话题，我发现奥威尔死后出版的《Such, Such Were the Joys》（关于他的寄宿学校生活）暗示了《1984》大篇幅内容的灵感来源。
On that note, I found Orwell's posthumously-published Such, Such Were the Joys (about his boarding school days) suggests the inspirations behind large swaths of 1984.
关于《1984》，我推荐《Such, Such Were the Joys》 > 愿意/能够深刻剖析自身意识形态 巨蟒剧团的《Life of Brian》？“罗马人究竟为我们做过什么？”“你们全都是独立个体”“胎儿打算在哪儿妊娠？”等等等等。
In connexion with 1984, I recommend "Such, Such Were the Joys" > willingness / ability to cut deep into his own ideology the Pythons' Life of Brian? "What have the Romans ever done for us?" "You're all individuals" "Where's the fetus going to gestate?" etc. etc.
……自然而然地发生——什么样的野蛮人会在日程本里记笔记，盘算着待会儿冷血地去把谁暴揍一顿？[1] 稍微有点分寸的霸凌者只打到见红就收手。更恶劣的是奥布莱恩这类人（去读读《Such, such were the joys》，你大概就能明白这个角色的由来了），他们继续毒打你纯粹是为了向别人炫耀他们有权这么做：> “即使人们停止反抗党，党也会制造出新的叛徒……
…spontaneously — what kind of barbarians make notes in their agendas to kick each others' ass, in cold blood, later? [1] the better kind of bully only goes to first blood. Worse are the O'Briens (read "Such, such were the joys" and you may understand were that character comes from) who continue beating you up just so others see they can: > "Even if people stop rebelling against the party, the Party will manufacture new traitors…
