为什么值得读
- 构筑了黑色石板向母星发射信号的设定
- 结尾包含出人意料的情节反转
- 作为影史经典太空漫游的灵感原点
摘自引言……如今的读者确实很幸运；这确实是科幻小说的Golden Age。当今有数十位笔耕不辍的作家，他们的水平足以媲美除了往昔巨擘之外的几乎所有人。（甚至可能还有一位虽然受制于从波兰语翻译过来的劣势，却依然能匹敌那些泰斗……）然而，在向着1984年迈进、白昼渐短的岁月里，我并不真正羡慕那些初涉科幻小说领域的年轻男女，因为我们这些老一辈曾达成过一件绝无仅有的成就。我们是最后一批能够读尽所有作品的世代。从此再也不会有人能做到了。

还可以读读克拉克的短篇小说《岗哨》（The Sentinel），《2001太空漫游》就是以此为基础创作的。
Also read Clarke's short story "The Sentinel", upon which 2001 is based.
还没人提到的一点是，库布里克的灵感来源于阿瑟·C·克拉克的短篇小说《岗哨》（The Sentinel）。短篇里的黑石是某种智慧生物散布在太空中的，通常放置在相邻行星的卫星上。黑石一旦……就会向家园（不管那是在哪）发送信号。
What hasn't been mentioned yet is that Kubrick was inspired by the short story "The Sentinel" by AC Clarke. The monoliths in the short story are placed by intelligent beings through space, typically on moons of adjacent planets. The monoliths are sending signals home (wherever that is) once…
我觉得雷·布拉德伯里的短篇集《图绘人》（The Illustrated Man）里每个故事都有反转。如果你没读过，强烈推荐。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illustrated_Man 阿瑟·C·克拉克的《岗哨》（The Sentinel）当然也有反转。不过现在读起来不算意外了，因为大家都看过《2001太空漫游》。额，库尔特·冯内古特的很多故事也有惊人的反转，但我一时想不……
I think all the short stories in Ray Bradbury's collection "The Illustrated Man" have twists. Strong recommend, if you've never read it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illustrated_Man The Sentinel, by Arthur C. Clarke, certainly has a twist. But it doesn't come as a surprise nowadays, because everyone's seen 2001. Hmmm. Many of Kurt Vonnegut's stories have astonishing twists, but I can't think…
给你老师提供一个可能的反例：阿瑟·C·克拉克的《岗哨》（The Sentinel）？我还想起罗伯特·格雷夫斯在《向一切告别》（Goodbye to All That）里的描写，他的一个战友说战争结束后要读完整部特罗洛普的《巴彻斯特朝圣纪事》，因为里面什么大风大浪都没发生……
Possible counter-example for your teacher: Arthur C. Clarke's 'The Sentinel'? I also recall Robert Graves' writing, in 'Goodbye to All That', of one of his fellow soldiers saying that after the war, he would read the whole of Trollope's Barchester chronicles, as nothing happens…
《岗哨》（The Sentinel）这本选集收录了克拉克早期的很多短篇，其中一些他后来扩写成了长篇小说：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/149070.The_Sentinel
"The Sentinel" collection has a bunch of Clarke's early short stories, some of which he later developed into novels: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/149070.The_Sentinel
在这一切之前，是克拉克的短篇小说《岗哨》（The Sentinel），它才是这个构思真正的发端。
Before all of that was Clarke's short story "The Sentinel", which was the actual genesis of the idea.
