“在这部极有可能是他命中注定要写的著作中，具挑衅意味的畅销书作家Christopher Hitchens激励着未来的激进分子、牛虻、特立独行者、叛逆者、愤怒的年轻男女以及异见人士。对于那些站在狂热反对平庸共识立场上的人来说，还有谁比Hitchens更适合为他们发声？毕竟他一生的事业就是以深刻而引人入胜的方式表达异见。”“本书全面探讨了各种‘对立立场’，引证了Emile Zola、Rosa Parks和Vaclav Havel等先驱典范。他们的共同点在于坚持生活和思考……

……让你的想法接受挑剔人群的审视。做一个反潮流者（contrarian）并不是件坏事。如果你还没读过的话，我建议读读 pg 写的《不能说的话》（What You Can't Say，http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html）以及 Christopher Hitchens 的《Letters to a Young Contrarian》。
…your ideas analyzed by a critical crowd. Being a contrarian is not a bad thing. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you read "What You Can't Say" by pg (http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html) and Letters to a Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens.
已故的 Christopher Hitchens 当然是个嗜酒如命的前托派花花公子。但我们需要他这样的人。他的《Letters to a Young Contrarian》（2001），虽然通篇都是他自恋的痕迹[0]，但对任何想按自己方式立足于世的人来说，依然是一本推心置腹的好读物。如果你能淘到一本二手书，最好是写满了旁注批注的那种，好好珍藏它，加上你的……
The late Christopher Hitchens was a drink sodden ex-Trotskyist popinjay, of course. But one we needed. His 'Letters to a Young Contrarian'(2001), though filled with himself[0], remains a heartfelt read for anyone going about the world in their own way. If you can get a used copy, preferably filled with marginalia, treasure it, add your…
我很钦佩 Hitchens。他的《Letters to a Young Contrarian》给了我极大的自我实现感。我希望他能挺过这关，这样他就能继续写作，继续把所有人都惹毛了。
I admire Hitchens. His "Letters to a Young Contrarian" gave me no small measure of actualization. I hope he survives this so he can continue writing and getting everybody's backs up.
克里斯托弗·希钦斯的《无可辩驳：杂文集》，同作者的《致反对者的信》，以及伯特兰·罗素的《不可思议的论说》/《非流行抑郁文集》。

……有不同的理解，这不是为了反抗而反抗，而是在你有异议时敢于唱反调。我脑海中冒出的第一本书就是 Christopher Hitchens 的《Letters to a Young Contrarian》。虽然他热衷于辩论，但他绝不会为了辩论而辩论，去为一个自己根本不支持的立场争辩。
…have a different understanding, it's not resistance for resistance sake, it's the willingness to dissent when you disagree. The first thing that pop to my mind is a book by Christopher Hitchens called "Letters to a Young Contrarian". While he enjoyed arguments he did not argue for argument sake for a position he did not hold.
这两本都稍微超过了100页，不过：Christopher Hitchens 的《Letters to a Young Contrarian》，海明威的《老人与海》。两本书都让我对作者产生了欣赏，进而去读了他们更多的作品，最终改变了我的人生。就 Hitchens 而言……
Both of these are slightly over 100 but; Letters to a Young Contrarian - Christopher Hitchens The Old Man and the Sea - Hemmingway Both gave me an appreciation of the writers that led me to read more of their work which ultimately made changes in my life. With Hitchens…
