另请参阅他关于这个主题的书（与 Emmanuel Sander 合著），《表面与本质：类比是思考之火也是思考之核》。我正在读，挺喜欢的。不少书评吐槽它堆砌了太多的例子，但这些例子其实才是这本书的核心骨肉，而且我……
See also his book on this subject (with Emmanuel Sander), Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking. I'm currently reading it and enjoying it. A lot of reviews complain about how padded with examples it is, but this is really the substance of the book and I…
侯世达的书（比如《表面与本质》）敲响了一记警钟：我们当前的 AI 技术距离让机器理解哪怕普通的人类语言表达，到底还有多遥远。对于不熟悉他作品的人来说，侯世达的……
Hofstadter's books (such as Surfaces and Essences) provide a salutary reminder of how distant we are in AI technology in approach to a machine understanding of even ordinary human language expression. For those unfamiliar with his work, Hofstadter's…
……他用来表达这些思想的文字游戏）。纵观他的全部作品，其基调显得非常谦逊——不过是对他个人而言的谦逊，对自己的思想可从来不唯唯诺诺。他和 Emmanuel Sander 合写的近作《表面与本质：类比是思考之火也是思考之核》，相对来说更加通俗直白，没那么晦涩，而且依旧引人入胜。
…wordplay he uses to convey them). If you look at the sum of his work, its tone comes across as pretty humble - humble for himself, that is; not apologetic for the ideas. His latest with Emmanuel Sander, "Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking", is comparatively much more straightforward and less obfuscated, and still fascinating.
……现在正在读那本书。到目前为止，我可以说是强烈推荐。我其实正计划写点代码，尝试为“最强大脑/数字游戏（Le Compte Est Bon）”实现一个程序。我也一直在读同样是侯世达写的《表面与本质》，同样推荐。
…of reading that book right now. So far, I'd say that I highly recommend it. I'm actually planning to do some work trying to implement a program for the Le Compte Est Bon game. I've also been reading Surfaces and Essences, also by Hofstadter, and recommend it as well.
《创客的四步》（Steve Blank）查尔斯·佩佐尔德的《编码》（Code）史蒂文·利维的《人工生命》李·斯莫林的《时间重生》雷·库兹韦尔的《奇点临近》道格拉斯·侯世达的《表面与本质》道格拉斯·哈伯德的《如何衡量一切》——我最喜欢的书之一是乔丹·艾伦伯格的《魔鬼数学》（How Not to Be Wrong），它已经在我的“马上必读”清单里了。听起来超级吸引人。
The Four Steps To The Epiphany - Steve Blank Code by Charles Petzold Artificial Life - Steven Levy Time Reborn - Lee Smolin The Singularity is Near - Ray Kurzweil Surfaces and Essences - Douglas Hofstadter How to Measure Anything - Douglas Hubbard -- One of my favorites is How Not to Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenbreg I have that on my list of "to read real soon now". Sounds fascinating.
道格拉斯·R·侯世达就这个主题写过多部著作。他在与 Emmanuel Sander 合著的《表面与本质》中对此做了最直接的探讨。这本书读来饶有趣味且非常详尽。在出现颠覆性的全新见解之前，我甚至可能会把它视作定论。
Douglas R. Hofstadter has written multiple books on the subject. He most directly addresses it in "Surfaces and Essences" co-written by Emmanuel Sander. It is enjoyable reading and very thorough. Pending revolutionary new insights I might even regard it as conclusive.
