Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 想法很棒,我相信这绝对是一次难以置信的体验。但是,哇哦,这家伙的旅行方式简直就是个文化风向标!我记得小时候读过彼得·詹金斯的书《徒步穿越美国》(强烈推荐),他当时就背着一个双肩包,带着一条狗。而这家伙拉着一辆装着 Rubbermaid 收纳箱的手拉车,里面塞满了东西。这反映了我们当前文化中的某种现象:如今想要“细品这个国家”,居然得……

    Great idea and i'm sure an incredible experience. But, Wow, what a cultural indicator the way this guy travels is! i remember reading Peter Jenkins's book A Walk Across America as a kid (highly recommended) and he just had a backpack and a dog. this guy has a cart with a rubbermaid box full of stuff. It captures something about our culture that 'savoring the country' now requires…

  • 我读过最重要的一本书就是彼得·詹金斯的《徒步穿越美国》。他70年代大学毕业,不知道何去何从,于是决定从纽约一路步行到太平洋。这本书讲的是前半段旅程;是他中途停留时写的……

    One of the most significant books I ever read was A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins. He graduated college in the 70's, wasn't sure what to do, and decide to walk from New York to the Pacific ocean. This book covered the first half of the walk; he wrote it while taking…

  • 虽然现在看挺过时了,但彼得·詹金斯的《徒步穿越美国》真的很棒。当年读完它,直接激励了我在二十多岁时骑着自行车生活了 13 个多月。我现在的很多性格和特质,都直接源于当年在路上漂泊好几年的那些经历。……

    It's really outdated now, but "A Walk Across America" by Peter Jenkins. Reading that inspired me to spend 13+ months living on a bicycle in my twenties. So much of who I am is a direct result of the experiences I had living on the road for several years.…

  • 或者,如果想看对美国南方稍微正面一点的描述,可以读读那本书 https://www.amazon.com/Walk-Across-America-Peter-Jenkins/dp/...

    Or for a slightly more positive take on the South than that book https://www.amazon.com/Walk-Across-America-Peter-Jenkins/dp/...

  • 我大学那会儿读《徒步穿越美国》,觉得太精彩了。我至今都忘不了关于那场意外的故事:当时他和他的(那时是女朋友?)走在一条安静的公路上,我记得是在内华达州,他们决定……

    A Walk Across America was amazing reading when I was college aged. I've never forgotten the story about the accident when he and his (then-girlfriend?) were walking along a quiet highway, I think in Nevada, and they decided…

  • 酷。很久以前我在《国家地理》杂志上读过《徒步穿越美国》的连载(分两部分)。非常精彩,这也是我第一次接触到徒步走这么远距离的概念,尽管我之前就知道有人开车横穿……

    Cool. I read A Walk across America, in serial form (2 parts) in the National Geographic magazine, long ago. It was great, and the first time I heard of the concept of such a long journey on foot, although I knew about people driving across…
