寂静的春天

Hacker News 上怎么说

• nigelcleland · 2018 年

  如果你还没读过，建议找一本蕾切尔·卡森（Rachel Carson）的《寂静的春天》（Silent Spring）来看看，里面讲了滥用杀虫剂对整个更广泛生态系统的破坏。她唤醒的公众意识不仅促成了美国环保署（EPA）的建立，还促成了对 DDT 的全面禁用。

  If you haven't read it pick up a copy of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson which covered the indiscriminate use of pesticides and the effect on the wider ecosystem. The awareness she helped raise contributed to the founding of the EPA and the banning of DDT.

  噢没错。乙基公司（Ethyl Corporation）和克莱尔·帕特森（Clair Patterson）博士的那段历史极其引人入胜，完全可以跟蕾切尔·卡森以及《寂静的春天》相提并论。汽油中抗爆铅添加剂的禁用与美国暴力犯罪率下降之间，有一张非常耐人寻味的相关性图表。虽说相关性不等于因果关系……

  Oh yes. The history of the Ethyl Corporation and Dr. Clair Patterson is fascinating, right up there with Rachel Carson and "Silent Spring." There's a very disturbing correlative graph between the banning of anti-knock lead additives from gasoline and the drop in violent crime rates in the United States. Correlation does not imply causation,…

  政府公文写作的天花板当属蕾切尔·卡森。她最出名的是《寂静的春天》，但她的海洋系列作品也同样出彩。她的很多作品当年都是由美国政府印刷局（GPO）出版的。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Carson#List_of_works 不过说到写作建议，CIA 的指南也挺不错的。思考中……

  The height of government writing would be Rachel Carson. She's best known for Silent Spring but her Sea books are just as good. Much of her writing was published by the GPO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Carson#List_of_works But as for writing advice, the CIA isn't so bad. Thinking…

  …考虑到它们通常会被媒体和掌权者忽视，甚至公然鄙视。电影方面我想不出什么具体的例子，但有些书确实产生过这种影响力。比如《屠场》（The Jungle）[1] 和《寂静的春天》（Silent Spring）[2]。电影终究是一种相对年轻的媒介，它的全部潜能恐怕还要几十年甚至上百年才能完全释放。给它点时间吧。我挺乐观的，觉得真正能打动人、激发行动的…

  …considering that they're usually ignored or even actively despised by the media and the powers that be. I don't know of specific examples in film, but some books have had such impact. The Jungle[1] and Silent Spring[2] come to mind. Film is a relatively young media, and its full potential is unlikely to be realized for decades if not centuries. Give it some time. I'm optimistic that truly moving and motivating…

  另外强烈推荐给所有想深入钻研生态学的人：蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20151002 ，正是这本书推动了美国在农业中禁用 DDT 等一系列举措。时至今日依然发人深省，而且文笔极美。

  Also highly recommended to anyone who wants to nerd out on ecology: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20151002 , which among other things lead to the ban on DDT in agriculture in the US. Still relevant, and beautifully written.

  到目前为止吗？这可能（或者说就是）近因偏差（recency bias），但我最近刚读完蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》，觉得它极具吸引力且契合当下，尽管里面有些零星的科学事实已经过时了。我正打算读读她的其他书。听说那些书诗意得多，而且…

  So far? It could be (read: is) recency bias, but I recently finished Silent Spring by Rachel Carson and found it fascinating and relevant, although some of the one-off science facts are outdated. I'm planning on reading her other books. I've heard they're much more poetic annd have…
